Hormonal acne isn’t just a “teenage problem". It’s one of the most common skin concerns I see in clinic.
Hormonal acne is driven by fluctuations in androgens, which increase oil production and inflammation. It often shows up as red, inflamed breakouts, congestion and blocked pores, tender lesions that linger, and flares around the jawline, cheeks and chin.
When breakouts don’t respond to harsh acne products, it’s often because the skin barrier is compromised. Over-stripping and aggressive actives usually make things worse, not better.
The hero treatment: Our Signature Hydrafacial.
Rather than “drying out” the skin, the focus was to deeply cleanse and decongest pores, gently remove existing blockages, calm inflammation and redness, and rehydrate to support the skin barrier.
Hydrafacials work so well for hormonal acne because it treats congestion and inflammation at the same time, without triggering rebound oil production. You can notice cleaner pores, less congestion, and skin that looks calmer and more balanced.
Hormonal acne isn’t a one-treatment fix. It responds best to a consistent, supportive approach that works with your skin, not against it.
If you feel like you’ve tried everything, this is where structured treatments and a personalised plan make the difference.
