Hormonal Acne
After 25
It's Not Your Skincare. It's Your Hormones.
Still Breaking Out After 25?
The Cleanser Isn't Working Because It Was Never the Problem.
Hormonal acne starts deep under the skin. Topical treatments can't reach the source.
What Actually Drives Hormonal Acne
Androgens overstimulate sebaceous glands → excess sebum → clogged pores → cystic breakouts. Usually on the jawline and chin.

Around Mouth = Progesterone
5 Root Causes of Hormonal Acne in Women
1. PCOS & elevated androgens
2. Post-pill hormone rebound
3. Insulin resistance & high-GI diet
4. Gut dysbiosis
5. Chronic stress & adrenal androgens
Blood Sugar Is Fuelling Your Breakouts
High-GI foods spike insulin → insulin signals ovaries to produce more androgens → more sebum → more acne. Protein at every meal is one of the fastest dietary fixes.
Two Evidence-Based Interventions Most Women Haven't Tried
Spearmint tea (2 cups/day): reduces free androgens in women.
Zinc bisglycinate (25-30mg): inhibits testosterone-to-DHT conversion.
What to Use on Your Skin (and What to Skip)
Use:
Niacinamide -reduces sebum, calms inflammation.
Azelaic acid - anti-inflammatory, safe for all skin.
Skip:
Heavy oils on lower face. High-GI diet paired with spot cream only.
Hormonal acne after 25 needs internal balance, targeted skincare, and lifestyle changes-not stronger cleansers alone.
