Think acne's just a teenage problem? Think again! Many women in their 30s, 40s, and even older still deal with breakouts. While we often hear about 'hormonal' acne showing up along the jawline for adults, in reality, adult acne can pop up all over the face! And guess what? Hormones are usually behind most acne, no matter how old you are.

If you're struggling with stubborn acne, seeing a dermatologist can provide personalized solutions to help you feel better about your skin! Tune in to this week's podcast with Dr. Barbieri to learn about hormonal acne in midlife women, effective treatment options, and the safety and side effects of isotretinoin.
