I've tried everything that was out there, from (rubbing) alcohol to injections to Accutane to Proactiv," says Noble, who has been seeing a dermatologist for years but still has flare-ups. She's not alone. Dr. Jodi Ganz, an Atlanta dermatologist, estimates half her patients are adults with mild to severe acne breakouts. "There are a ton of people with adult acne. For women, flare-ups usually occur the week before their periods; that's what we call hormonally linked acne.

Handy concealer
ITS hard not to be self-conscious about a scar, red blotches and visible red veins especially on your face, or even dark circles under your eyes. Such flaws can now be minimised with the use of complexion correctors from Couvrance. This was demonstrated during a medical make-up class at the Avene Dermatological Hydrotherapy centre in France recently. Make-up professional Joelle Nonni showed how a green, then a red Couvrance stick thats hypoallergenic, and water- and sweat-resistant, could correct skin imperfections for both men and women. They conceal post-surgical scars, redness from laser treatment, and even psoriasis. .
