Is It Normal To Get A Bad Case Of Acne At 26?

I understand in your teens you can get the worst case of acne ever. But is this normal to happen at 26, even if I avoid greasy foods? I recently broke out in a bad case on my face, probably the worst I’ve honestly ever had. Is this common?

Um…i wouldn’t say it’s normal, but it does happen, my cousin still has issues with acne, and he’s 27, so, it happens.
It is pretty common. It’s adult onset acne. I had a one year spurt of acne when I was 16 and then again when I was 20 and then a horrible outbreak last year at 26. I’m all clear now but yes, totally normal.
What you need to do is get a prescription. Nothing else is going to take care of it. It doesn’t have to do with grease or not washing; it has to do with natural bacteria in your body.
Differin Gel works miracles. You can have it cleared up in as little as 4 weeks. Go to the doctor or dermatologist and get a prescription ASAP before you put up with the stuff.
yes it is normal , my brother didnt have any acne at all well mayb a couple, until he was 24 and then he got a massive breakout and ended up wif a couple of scars and everything! it could be to do wid, stress, change in diet, dramatic weight loss/ gain, a different face wash? id recomend gettin a gd face wash and use every day and moisturise at night like my bro does now, it works!
if it doesnt go the doc can prescribe u wid sum gd stuff 2 clear it 
gd luck!

Yes. Eating having an effect on your skin is actually kind of a myth/wives’ tale. Acne is more medical than hygienic or dietary. Try Proactiv (it has medicinal chemicals meant specifically for acne). Tons of my friends use it and it’s done wonders for all them. If it persists after that, contact a dermatologist.
Geasy foods have nothing to do with acne.
You are most likely having a lot more stress, an allergic reaction to something, horomonal changes, or a reaction from medication.
It’s not UNcommon to have acne at your age, if that helps.
Not way uncommon. All I can think of (besides the usual teenager problems) is you could be stressed. When I get stressed out my face is a mess. It’s a big cause of acne for everyone. Cut out soft drinks, and drink water instead.
yea, its normal. just eat plenty of fruit and water, and cleanse ur face at least once a night or morning. and use a mild acne treatment. It will clear up soon.
uhm that kind of odd
because my dermatologist said acne usually lasts until your 20-25
i think you should see a dermatologist
but im the mean time
try to drink water dont pop your pimples
wash your face with warm water and soap
atleast 3 times everyday
Yes, hormones, stress, exercise, the food you eat, can all cause you to break out randomly.
It can happen at any age that includes the the 40′s and 50′s.
Yes it is, if you are “acne type”… Its just not usual
yes, but try to eat better & it helps
your normal you may be stressed try acne free
