OKAY listen it’s expensive but if it’s a lifelong issue I recommend this I have PCOS and have been dealing with insane hormonal acne and welts all my life it’s finally GONE (I get an occasional blemish but it’s p chill) Linking to a review that explains it all and has my before and after again EXPENSIVE but ultimately was worth it for me in terms of self esteem + the money I would have endlessly wasted on things that didn’t work BUT on a topical note -Murad deep relief acne treatment -panoxyl face wash -an led acne patch (rikilovesriki has one and so does LAB beauty)

Ugh, I’ve got some really expensive/intensive ideas (sorry)🫠 : lasers + isotretinoin. but essentially anything with vitamin A (like a retinol) helps! it doesn’t treat the hormones, tbh, but it reduces the pores oil glands. Also sulfur face washes really help calm down my breakouts. Really wish I’d known sooner. Good luck! Acne sucks

DIM (linked) This vitamin is technically for people experiencing menopause but it helped me so so much with my hormonal acne. also, as gimmicky as it looks/sounds, curology is the ONLY topical treatment that helped my hormonal acne without making me purge a bunch… If you’re able to, get Blood work done! this will help you determine any other underlying issues that may be contributing. Drinking hot water + lemon + turmeric + pepper +chia seeds every morning is a godsend. i don’t even really break out now during my period??? good luck! adult onset acne is a bitch truly, and I hope you find something that works for you <3

i’ve had crazy hormonal pcos chin and hyperpigmentation stuff going on for like 10 years and i scar from acne really easily, so this was my life’s mission to figure out. everything that @MARXINISTA said! i don’t have rx retinol but i use the ordinary’s .2% retinol w/ squalene at night (wont break the bank) followed by (blasphemy to some bc it’s not face lotion) palmers cocoa butter lotion. i break out over everything but this lotion does not exacerbate that, i promise! in the mornings, i use axis-y dark spot correcting glow serum w/ niacinamide followed by whatever moisturizer suits your fancy (pyungkang yul has some good, gentle dark spot stuff if you’re interested) and then an spf (crucial). i saw results super fast using both the axis-y and the ordinary products! if you can double cleanse that also helps. i use palmers cocoa butter oil cleanser followed by a traditional facial wash with tea tree oil. good luck :)
