Hormonal acne is a type of adult acne that commonly appears along the jawline, chin, and cheeks. It’s caused by hormonal changes that affect the skin’s oil production, leading to clogged pores and inflamed breakouts.
Common triggers include:
☁️ the menstrual cycle
☁️ stress
☁️ PCOS
☁️ post-pill acne
☁️ menopause
While hormones play a major role, factors like sleep, diet, and lifestyle can also impact the skin and make breakouts worse.
