7 Clear Signs It’s Time to Consider Prescription Acne Treatment

Nothing you’ve tried has worked

Most people think that breaking out is limited to the teenage years, when everything seems to be soaked in humiliation. Sadly, the truth is, while the most prone people to get pimples and acne are teens, bad skin can haunt you through adulthood. Your acne may even be trying to tell you something important.
