Adult female acne (AFA) is defined as acne that affects women over the age of 25. AFA can persist continuously from adolescence or have periods of relapse and remission, or it may manifest for the first time during adulthood. It is a significant issue that profoundly impacts the psychosocial well-being and quality of life of adult women. The clinical signs of AFA differ from those of adolescent acne, and its pathogenesis is complex. Therefore, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of the clinical presentation, risk factors, and differential diagnoses. This article aims to explore the latest scientific and medical data on AFA, including its risk factors, etiology, impact on quality of life, pathophysiology, and the most recent evaluation scales. Additionally, evidence-based treatments and management guidelines for this condition will be discussed, along with the importance of skincare products in acne management.
