9 Skincare tips for managing hormonal acn

Hormonal acne, which causes deep, cystic outbreaks around the jawline and chin, is difficult to manage due to hormonal shifts that affect oil production and skin health.   

Managing hormonal acne requires a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser. Choose products that clean without depleting the skin of natural oils, which can increase oil production and acne.   

Use a Gentle Cleanser

1

Salicylic acid exfoliates dead skin and unclogs pores, making it an important acne treatment. It reduces irritation and prevents outbreaks.   

Incorporate Salicylic Acid

2

Another effective acne treatment is benzoyl peroxide. It kills acne-causing germs and reduces inflammation. Be cautious when using benzoyl peroxide or spot treatments in your skincare routine; it can dry.  

Apply Benzoyl Peroxide

Even oily or acne-prone skin needs moisturization. Hydrate without clogging pores with a non-comedogenic moisturizer.   

Moisturize Regularly

4

Topical retinoids like retinol can treat hormonal acne well. They promote cell turnover and avoid clogged pores.  

Consider Retinoids

5

Use "non-comedogenic" skincare and cosmetics to avoid clogged pores. Heavy, greasy products can worsen acne. To keep pores clear, use lightweight, oil-free skincare and cosmetics.  

Avoid Heavy, Comedogenic Products
