Skincare recommendations for hormonal acne. Hormonal acne typically affects the chin and jaw area and can be stubborn. Try this routine to get it under control. If it doesn’t improve, go see a board-certified dermatologist for prescription products. 😉 AM: ✅Cleanser - Cleanse w/ 2% salicyclic acid cleanser to clear your pores. This one from the is shockingly gentle ✅Azelaic acid - use this every day to improve acne and acne scars. Prescription strength (15-20%) works best ✅Brightening serum - use a lightweight serum w/ tranexamic acid, kojic acid, and niacinamide to hydrate and prevent hyperpigmentation of acne scars! ✅SPF - always wear sunscreen w/ SPF30 and higher to prevent hyperpigmentation of acne scars! PM: ✅Double cleanse - Cleanse w/ a cleansing balm to melt away the make up, SPF, and pollution, followed by 5% benzoyl peroxide cleanser for anti-microbial properties .altheaglobal ✅Retinoid - Use retinal/ tretinoin/ adapalene 2-3x per week to reduce oil production, improve acne, and acne scars. Currently loving the one from it’s so gentle yet effective! ✅Brightening cream - Use a lightweight cream w/ tranexamic acid to hydrate and brighten the skin. This is important because skincare w/ actives for acne can be drying! .global ✅Exfoliate - Use AHA/BHA/PHA to exfoliate your skin and unclog your pores once a week. I like the one from — it’s really light and nonsticky! Stick to the routine to get that glow! Let’s GO! 😉 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
