I had lot of acne when i was younger and my red marks were bad. This was at 20-22. My acne cleared up the next few year and now at 26, i broke out. Worst is the red/brown marks as a result of it and it doesn't seem to fade it all.
The glycolic acid cream i used back then use to work but now it doesn't work anymore. I'm thinking the older you get... the tougher it is for your skin to heal due to age? |

Yep, same here. Once upon a time I could bust a pimple and it would heal straight away, now its red for ages, so I don't touch them. I am also using retinoids which has probably thinned my skin a bit too, but for the most part I think everything takes longer to heal as you age  |

Below is one of the reasons that it takes longer for the red spots to go away. The turnover rate of our skin cells slows way down as we age.
Our CRF (cell renewal factor), also known as cell turnover rate is what keeps our skin cells from building up and allows new skin cells to accelerate to the surface. As we age this process begins to slow down, the average rate of cell turnover for Infants is 14 days, for Teenagers 21-28 days, for Middle-age 28-42 days, for 50 and older 42-84 days. |
