Adult Acne

Question
Hi! I'm 24 yrs old. Over the last couple of years my skin as gone downhill. A little over a month ago I started using Murad. For the first two weeks my skin looked AWESOME! From there the condition has deteriorated - both sides of my chin as well as jawline are broken out and even on rare days when that area is smooth, the skin looks unhealthy- bright red acne scars that I never had prior to Murad. That's in addition to the smaller bumps I started getting around my mouth. Should I continue with the Murad or try something else?
Answer
I would give it another week or two and see if your skin acclimates to the active ingredients better. If it does not, discontinue use and consider a different skin care line. I highly recommend CosMedix to treat your acneic issues. Best skin care wishes.
