Hormonal acne is more than just a skin issue; it’s a sign of deeper imbalances in your body. This type of acne is linked to fluctuations or imbalances in hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, and is most common in adult women, especially around their 20s to 40s.

Unlike typical acne, hormonal acne often shows up around the jawline, chin, and cheeks as deep, painful cysts or stubborn breakouts that don’t respond to standard skincare.

​

Common Causes

• Hormonal acne can be triggered by a range of internal factors, including:

• Elevated androgens (male hormones) like testosterone

• Low estrogen or progesterone

• PCOS or menstrual irregularities

• Stress-related cortisol spikes

• Insulin resistance or blood sugar imbalances

• Post-birth control hormone shifts

​

Signs of Hormonal Acne

• Breakouts that flare up before your period

• Cystic, painful pimples on the jawline or chin

• Acne that doesn't improve with over-the-counter skincare

• Oily skin or frequent clogged pores

• Acne that worsens with stress or poor sleep

• Irregular periods or signs of hormonal imbalance
