Sensitive Skin? Gentle Acne Support in Your 70s

Breakouts in Your 70s? Let’s Get to the Root Cause

Breakouts or bumps in your 70s may not actually be acne. Many patients mistake menopausal or mature skin changes for acne, when the real issue could be rosacea, sebaceous hyperplasia, or even a reaction to medications.

At Bergen Dermatology, we understand the complexities of aging skin and the lifestyle factors that can influence it—such as changes in hormones, skin barrier function, medication use, and environmental exposures. The best next step is an In-Person Dermatology Consultation to identify the true cause and rule out underlying skin conditions common in older adults.

We provide:

  • Customized care for mature skin breakouts

  • Evaluation of postmenopausal skin concerns

  • Safe, barrier-respecting treatments for sensitive, aging skin

Our gentle, targeted approach is designed to reduce inflammation, restore skin clarity, and maintain skin health—without over-stripping or irritating the skin.

In addition to treatments, lifestyle habits like protecting skin from sun damage, maintaining hydration, using gentle skincare products, and managing stress can support healthier aging skin.

For daily support, we recommend the Dr. Naana Radiance Regimen—a dermatologist-formulated skincare routine that’s safe, effective, and ideal for mature, menopausal, and reactive skin types.
