Anti-aging product targets adult acne

Jan Marini Skin Research (JMSR) recently launched a new product promising to help against the acne breakouts and fine lines associated with older and aging skin. The offering joins a number of products and ingredients aimed at older women undergoing or having undergone the menopausal transition. The new product is designed to minimize acne breakouts while improving the appearance of follicle size, fine lines, rough facial texture and leftover acne discoloration. Menopausal and post-menopausal women experience a decrease in estrogen and an increase in testosterone, which can lead to an increase in oil production and more acne breakouts. However, at the same time the skin undergoes other changes brought about by hormonal alterations such as thinning of the dermis, changes to collagen and elastin fibres and pigmentation issues.
