Even though people associate acne and breakouts with the teen years, it is incredibly common for adults, especially women, to experience this frustrating skin condition. According to The American Academy of Dermatology, the rates of acne in adults are increasing; it affects more than 50% of women between the ages of 20 and 29, and more than 25% of women between the ages of 40 and 49.

I typically breakout with one, giant, super scary zit every couple of months. It can linger right in the center of my forehead (where I most commonly get them) for days and I’m always searching a product to help reduce the inflammation and redness. I was recently introduced to The A Method® Zit Stopper—a powerful product that is a true blemish buster.
The A Method was developed by world-renowned dermatologist Tina Alster, M.D. to provide ordinary people the same medical-grade formulations that celebrities and top influencers enjoy. Each product is formulated with the highest quality ingredients and the entire line of products are free of parabens, gluten, fragrance, colorants and are 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
The A Method’s Zit Stopper is formulated with adapalene, which was previously available by prescription only and has been clinically demonstrated effective in numerous studies. It not only helps to clear up your current breakouts, but can prevent them as well. Other benefits of this product are:
* Helps minimize skin darkening of acne spots
* Provides anti-inflammatory benefits to reduce the appearance of redness and of swelling
* Lightly hydrating formula ensures that skin stays soft and smooth, while not drying out the area and causing skin to flake.
In addition to adapalene, the other key ingredients that are be found in Zit Stopper include:
* Hydrocortisone
* Trichloroacetic Acid
* Glycerin
* Hyaluronic Acid
Zit Stopper can be used twice daily on the breakout spots and can be applied over the face, as needed. I used it on an “unsightly visitor” and within one day of use, the zit was smaller and much less noticeable. I’ve also been sharing it with my 16 year old, who has tried a number of products and is impressed by how quickly this one works. This product is definitely a must have for anyone that experiences breakouts and acne.
Zit Stopper is available for $44 and can be purchased on The A Method website. For more information about The A Method, follow the company on Facebook and Instagram.

I am glad that there is a new product available like this one. It could be so embarrassing for a teen to have zits on her/his face.
Thank goodness I’m beyond the constant breakouts. But every so often, like last month, I am reminded of the past. I wouldn’t mind having a Zit Stopper for those just in cat moments.
