As women, we are prone to a spot or two due to hormonal fluctuations during the natural menstrual cycle or hormonal birth control methods, well into adulthood. Typically, most people won't suffer severe acne after the age of 25, but the classic oily skin-related problems such as open pores, acne scars, post-inflammatory pigmentation marks, blackheads and an over-production of sebum can still be present - as well as the odd or not-so-odd breakout.
