40 and acne

I am almost 40,and I have acne. What can I do to have a clear face?
I know the wrinkles will be here soon, but really want to clear up the acne, then deal with the wrinkles.
Thanks.

Hi. Adult acne is becoming increasingly common, but fortunately there are lots of useful medications that can help.
A course of oral antibiotics such as Oxytetracycline will help many types of acne, rosacea and peri-oral dermatitis.
A synthetic topical retinoid such as Differin or Retin-A may also be indicated.
If you are female get your doctor to check your hormone levels. Acne can be caused by raised levels of androgens and this can be treated with an oestrogen and an anti-androgen.
Eloise.
