“…11 A similar phenomenon has been observed in India and is locally referred to as 'Goa acne'. 25 From this study we found that cosmetics (24.0%), food (14.0%) and skin pricking (16.0%) are also responsible for acne aggravation. Similar result was reported by Kubba, many cosmetics including some sunscreens are comedogenic.…”

“…[ 5 ] Facials were observed to have caused acneiform eruptions in 33.1% of participants in a study in India. [ 9 ] Oils form an occlusive film over the applied area and may cause comedogenesis and aggravation of acne. Most sunscreens are too oily for acne patients and tend to aggravate it.…”

Background:Although acne is principally a disorder of adolescence, the number of adult patients with acne is increasing. Adult acne is defined as the presence of acne beyond the age of 25 years. There is relatively few data on the prevalence and studies of acne in adult population.Aim and Objectives:To analyze the various factors that aggravate or precipitate acne vulgaris in Indian adults.Materials and methods:The study was done at the Department of Dermatology at a tertiary care center in Kerala for a period of 1 year. A total of 110 patients above the age of 25 year diagnosed clinically as acne vulgaris were included in the study. A detailed history regarding age of onset, duration, type of acne, family history, whether there was any exacerbation related to food, cosmetics, drugs, emotional stress, seasonal variation, sunlight, sweating, pregnancy, menstruation and smoking was taken.Results:Majority of patients with adult acne were in the age group 26-30 years and there was a clear female preponderance. Persistent acne was more common than late onset acne. Food items and cosmetics were attributed to exacerbation by 47.3% and 40% of patients respectively; 32.7% patients had exacerbations during stress, 26.4% following sun exposure and 23.6% after sweating. About 48% patients had first degree relatives with present or past history of acne. Most of the female patients had premenstrual flare of acne, which was much more common among patients with persistent acne. Pregnancy had no effect on acne in majority of patients. Seasonal variation was observed in 44.5% patients, most of them showing exacerbation in summer months.Conclusion:Acne as a disease lasts longer, persists into adulthood and requires treatment well into the forties. Unlike teenage acne, where males tend to be affected more commonly, post adolescent acne mainly affects females. It is therapeutically rewarding to identify the concerned triggers and aggravating factors and be able to deal with them.

“…The concept of acne cosmetica was further strengthened by other studies using a rabbit model [4,5,6,7], a human model [8] or a cross-sectional design [9,10,11,12,13], however, this has not been tested in a case-control design. In the present matched case-control study we examined the association of post-adolescent acne and use of cosmetics and cosmetic procedures.…”

“…Another study showed that about a third of the women developed acne after facial massage [13]. On the other hand, in a later study, Kligman [14] showed that the use of petrolatum, previously reported to be comedogenic in the rabbit ear, significantly decreased papulopustules in patients with acne, without significant changes in microcomedones and comedones.…”

Background: Case-control studies to support the concept of acne cosmetica are lacking. Objective: To examine the association of post-adolescent acne with the use of cosmetics and cosmetic procedures. Methods: 910 post-adolescent patients with acne and an equal number of matched controls were studied for exposure to cosmetics and cosmetic procedures. A cumulative cosmetic exposure index was stratified into four quarters of increasing exposure. Results: Comparison of different cumulative exposure categories with the lowest exposure category (multivariate analysis, logistic regression) showed that the odds ratios, which were always <1, progressively declined as cosmetic exposure increased [odds ratios (95% confidence intervals): 0.679 (0.501-0.922), 0.355 (0.258-0.487), 0.307 (0.217-0.433)]. However, some individual cosmetics had odds ratios >1. Conclusion: Overall cosmetic use was negatively associated with post-adolescent acne. The term ‘acne cosmetica' is appropriate in the sense that some cosmetics may cause acne.
