JZ, my first piece of advice would be to find out if in your case "adult acne" is code for rosacea. It usually is. If so, addressing the rosacea will address the acne. Once I switched over to sensitive skin cosmetics, moisturizers, and cleansers, the acne pretty much disappeared.

Note to self: 1) It's high time you friended Jilli on LJ.
Remind me of your LJ name, because I am horrible at remembering such things.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Awesome! It does sound a wee bit crazy, but if it works, it works.
eta: What is rosacea, exactly?

It really does help, tho'. Of course, when I do the aspirin-honey mask, Pete likes to stick his head around the bathroom door, shriek dramatically, then stroll away snickering.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The nice lady at Fred Segal recommended this seaweed cleanser with a Romanian sounding name that I swear cleared up way most of my acne. It's now very much the exception. My skin feels vaguely adult for the first time ever.

At this point, I refuse to believe that my acne will ever be grown out of. Twelve years and counting, baybee.
