What is Hormonal Acne and How to Treat It

Hormonal acne is acne that is associated with fluctuations in hormones. Although you typically associate changes in hormones with puberty, hormonal acne can affect adults of all ages. Hormonal acne is tied to the overproduction of sebum, an oily substance in the skin glands.

A great post!

I'd use the advice of a doctor to manage and treat hormonal acne. I'd advise to NEVER strip your skin with harsh chemicals to manage hormonal acne. Use gentle products on your skin. But your doctor will know which products and pills to treat acne. Because there are medical pills that can reduce acne: but - again - your doctor will need to prescribe them. There is a pill/cream combo and it has been known to work.

Good luck!
