💥 Even dermatologists get hormonal acne!
After 15 years in dermatology, I still deal with breakouts and that’s okay. Hormonal acne is not your fault, it’s normal and something many women experience. ❤️🔥
Here’s what actually helps:
✨ Prescription tretinoin or over-the-counter adapalene gel – both exfoliate and unclog pores.
💊 Spironolactone – helps balance hormones that trigger acne.
🍵 Spearmint tea (2 cups/day) – can help if you have PCOS-related breakouts.
Remember: it’s a journey, not a flaw. You’re doing great! 💪
