and they say women have a second “puberty” at 20-21 so maybe that’s why

Probably hormonal. Hate to tell you but it doesn’t end at a certain age. My oldest sister is in her mid 40s and she’s got acne from PCOS.

26

Damn I get it from my lab goggles

24

So for me, my acne has been gone for at least the last 3 years (23 now), and all I did to better regulate it is by drinking water and Gatorade, tweaked my diet, and walked more. If you’ve already tried these methods, maybe see about getting a referral to a dermatologist or an OBGYN to see if they may be able to do a blood test to see if there’s a recommended treatment for it!

im 23 & i still get acne😔 i hope it goes away for u like it NEVER DID FOR ME

13

When I got on zepbound my acne came back with a VENGEANCE

12

I still get it at 24 😭

actually it’s very common to get oilier(??) skin and acne in your 20s. i had completely unproblematic skin in my teens but it got worse like right when i turned 20 lol. you should be good by 29/30😭

Topical clindamycin gel saved me. Your doctor can prescribe it to you

If it’s not hormonal and you’re washing pillowcases like u said, then watch out for vaping, alcohol consumption, diet ( fried foods, low antioxidant intake, lack of vitamins, seed oils, fast food, high sugar, and processed foods all are 🚩), amount of sleep, research your skincare maybe it’s causing it, and then stress. As a guy, I used to struggle big time with it but like literally just changing how I ate, sleeping an extra hour a day, changing my skincare routine, and meditating helped it.

Mine didn’t go away until late 24 😬 on the bright side, your probaly age physically slower than the average person, so you’ll feel better than most people do when you’re older.

Join the club 🙃 I still have chronic hormonal acne at 24. One time treatment of Accutane wasn't enough

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but acne doesn’t stop. It just becomes more manageable. If yours stops entirely, you’re one of the lucky few.

22 and still have acne on my chin and cheeks and chest and back. Pretty sure its hormonal

You’re allergic to iodine
