Acne is a very common problem — in puberty and adulthood. Understanding why it occurs, how it changes and how to respond to it effectively = the key to controlling it. In this article, we will go over the main causes of acne and how cosmetics can help — and why it makes sense to reach for Yage Organics products if you are looking for clean, natural and effective care.
Why acne occurs — in puberty vs. in adulthood
Puberty: hormonal storm
During puberty, the production of sex hormones (androgens) increases, which stimulate the sebaceous glands. More sebum → pores can become clogged → bacteria and inflammation → pimples. In addition, frequent skin changes, imperfect cleansing, hormonal fluctuations.
Adulthood: a combination of factors
Adult acne is not always the same as pubertal acne — it is often a combination of multiple triggers:
hormonal fluctuations (cycle, stress, contraception)
excessive sebum production (genetic predisposition)
poor care — too oily creams, strong make-up, rough cleansing
insufficient or too aggressive skin hygiene
lifestyle: stress, sleep, nutrition, environment
Adult acne is often more inflammatory, longer-lasting, and with relapses — what worked in puberty may not work anymore.
What works — key principles of care
Gentle cleansing of the skin, without excessive drying or irritation
Regulation of sebum, maintenance of pH and healthy skin microbiome
Soothing inflammation and promoting healing
Regular but gentle exfoliation — removal of dead cells that can clog pores
Hydration and balanced care — even oily skin needs water, not just dryness
Natural, non-comedogenic cosmetics — free of burdensome oils, mineral oils, heavy silicones
Many of these principles can be covered in a natural way by Yage Organics products.
Ingredients in cosmetics that help against acne
Niacinamide (B3) — regulates sebum, soothes, supports the skin barrier.
Acids (e.g. AHA, BHA) — gentle exfoliation, loosens pores, prevents clogging.
Herbal extracts with anti-inflammatory / antibacterial effects — e.g. green tea, nettle, chamomile, horsetail.
Light vegetable oils / non-comedogenic oils — for hydration without clogging pores.
Plant antioxidants + phytoceramides — to strengthen the skin barrier, support regeneration.
