I'm 44 and I still get f-ing pimples! Most often a few days before my
period and I understand that that's common with women.

It gets much MUCH worse if I've indulged in anything containing white
sugar. I pretty much avoid sweets now and my skin stays pretty clear for
the most part.

For breakouts, I have an Erygel prescription.

Good stuff!
