Hormonal acne vs regular breakouts — how to tell

Hormonal acne clusters along the jaw, chin and lower cheeks, tends to be deep and tender, and flares in the week before a period.

What helps from the inside

Stabilising insulin and androgens reduces oil production at the source. Zinc and vitamin D3 support skin healing.

And from the outside

Gentle cleansing twice a day, a non-comedogenic SPF every morning, and patience.
