Acnevir ®

Adult Acne & Redness Relief

With Aloe

Triple Action Adult Acne Relief

1. Clears Acne Pimples
2. Reduces Redness
3. Prevents Future Breakouts

Specially formulated to treat Adult Acne, ACNEVIR contains THREE active ingredients versus just one in most other brands. ACNEVIR's unique formula is also designed to be less harsh on sensitive adult skin, with aloe and no drying benzoyl peroxide or alcohol.

ABOUT ACNEVIR ® Gel:

ACNEVIR Adult Acne & Redness Relief Gel combines science and convenience to help restore beautiful skin. ACNEVIR is formulated for adults and contains three medically recognized homeopathic ingredients in a non-oily formula that clears acne pimples and blackheads, reduces redness and helps restore skin's natural appearance. ACNEVIR is formulated to be gentle on skin and to help smooth, calm and normalize affected areas with no drying alcohol or benzoyl peroxide. With daily use, ACNEVIR Adult Acne & Redness Relief Gel can help restore a healthy appearance and prevent recurrence of breakouts.

WHY ADULT ACNE IS DIFFERENT:

Facial breakouts can often continue to plague men and women well into their 30s, 40s, and even 50s.

A study 1 examining the prevalence of acne in adults over age 20 found that acne affects more than 50 percent of women between the ages of 20-29 and more than 25 percent of women between the ages of 40-49. The study also found that a disproportionate number of adult women were affected by acne compared to similar-aged men.

Dermatologists call acne that does not clear by one's mid-20s "persistent acne". Persistent acne can cause tender, deep-seated, inflamed pimples and nodules around the mouth, chin, and jawline that can be difficult to treat.

Acne can also suddenly recur in adults after years of clear skin. Late-onset acne is also more frequently seen in women and can often appear around menopause. Hormones are primarily to blame for this acne that can form on the chin, jawline, around the mouth, and even on the chest and back.

WHAT CAUSES ADULT ACNE?

Adult acne is caused when sebum, an oily substance produced by the skin's sebaceous glands, clogs pores. Clogged pores can attract bacteria and become inflamed. For some adults, breakouts are a result of an imbalance in hormones. For women, this can happen during pregnancy, peri-menopause, and menopause. Some medications, such as corticosteroids, and cosmetics can also contribute to the development of acne.

There are many contributing factors that can cause adult acne. Here is a list of the most common offenders:

• Fluctuating hormones
• Discontinuing birth control pills
• Taking certain medications
• Family history of acne
• Stress
• Products used on hair and skin

HOW IS TREATING ADULT ACNE DIFFERENT THAN TREATING TEEN ACNE?

Adult acne can be particularly frustrating. Treatments that worked well during adolescence can often be ineffective or overly drying. Many common over-the-counter topical medications designed for oily teenaged skin can irritate adult skin, making acne worse.

Adult women are more likely to have thinner, drier skin as they get older, and using ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide that are found in many teen acne medications may actually cause more skin irritation.

WHILE USING ACNEVIR, HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL WAYS TO KEEP YOUR ACNE SYMPTOMS UNDER CONTROL:

• Use non-comedogenic or sensitive skin products to reduce the formation of new acne blemishes and to minimize skin irritation.
• Wash the affected area with a mild cleanser twice a day.
• Avoid cleansers or other skin care products with scrubbing particles or a gritty texture, as they can irritate the skin.
• Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer daily.
• Avoid picking, squeezing, popping or touching acne blemishes to minimize trauma to the skin and to help reduce the risk of scarring and secondary bacterial infections.
