afecte
Afecte came to my mind quite easily, however I understand you have problems with this translation since the Spanish is not clear nor natural and I would say there is an extra "no" somewhere. Depending on which "no" you omit, the sense changes.
I think that the problem for youngters is not having a sensitive skin but the fact that they seem older, even though they are of course too young to have wrinkles.
Note from asker:
| thank you for your answer but I think that you have made a mistake as afecte, is Spanish not English. |
| Perhaps you should edit your answer so that I can give you the kudoz. Thank you for the help. |

relate to or identify with
It's hard without context, but here are a couple suggestions.
it's a problem/issue that younger women, without any wrinkles yet, can’t relate to, not because they have sensitive skin, but because it makes them feel old.
it's a problem/issue that younger women, who don’t have any wrinkles, can’t identify with, not because they have sensitive skin, but because it makes them feel old
I'm unsure of the context, so it may also be a "problem that identifies/classifies/categorizes/describes the women" versus one that she identifies with.

affecting
As sofibeng was explaining in her suggestion, "afecte" would have been a better choice than "identifique" in the Spanish original.
So, the translation would be along these lines: "It is not an issue that affects (affecting) young/er people..."
NB: If you agree with my suggestion, then the points should go to sofibeng.

| I have suggested that sofibeng edits the "afecte" neilmac, then I can give her the points. Thank you. |

I am fairly sure that this just means this is not a problem area associated with younger women as for example acne might be.
I would say 'This is not a problem associated with younger women if they do not yet have any wrinkles....
I suspect that the end of the sentence is not correct and it might be worth querying this with your client. It feels as if text is missing . If you add in something like 'They tend not to use anti-wrinkle cream.... not because they don't have sensitive skin but because it makes them feel old, suddenly it makes sense. Sensitive skin is more prone to wrinkling.

This is not a problem that applies to... Or These are not problems that apply to...
Wondering if <applies> makes for a slightly less unwieldy sentence than eg. using associated, though not dissimilar meaning. My heavy handheld dictionary also offers <associated/identified with> as offered by other colleagues. Dictionary also mentions, in the same vein, <go together>, though in all these cases <identificar> as followed by <con> rather than <a>. So it is just an extra thought to throw into the mix depending on the fuller context. My dictionary also translates <problematica> as <problems> or <questions> in the plural, though, no doubt, that rendition will no doubt once again depend on your wider translation/context? Apologies if my <italics> don't come through. New at this... Also don't know how to enter Spanish accents via my Ipad
