@onceuponadoctor: If your acne shows up on your jawline or chin, flares with stress or your cycle, and keeps coming back no matter what you try, that’s often hormonal acne 🤍 It’s not about having “bad skin.” It’s hormones, oil, clogged pores, and inflammation. When it comes to acne actives, more is not better. Here’s how to use them safely: 💫Choose ONE acne active to start (retinoid or benzoyl peroxide or azelaic acid) 💫Start 2–3 nights per week, then slowly build up 💫 Expect mild dryness or purging early, that can be normal 💫 Give it 6–8 weeks before deciding it’s not working 💫 Moisturize daily and wear sunscreen (especially with retinoids) What to avoid early on: -Layering multiple actives -Over-exfoliating or scrubs -Picking or panic-switching products -Pushing through burning or stinging (that’s a sign to slow down) Hormonal acne improves with pore control + inflammation control, not punishment or chaos. #doctor #skincare #health #wellness #Lifestyle
