Adult acne is most often due to allergies. There is also a connection to the liver, a need for calcium and / or essential fatty acids and an increased intake of sweets, candy and refined sugars. Allergies have a strong connection to imbalance in the digestive system and a series of events that trigger the susceptibility to allergies: functional hypochlorhydria and pancreatic enzyme deficiency leading to maldigestion, maldigestion leading to gastrointestinal irritation and dysbiosis, and dysbiosis leading to increased intestinal hyper-permeability.
Also look at blood sugar dysregulation. Acne in the adult has been called "diabetes of the face."
