Hormonal acne is breakouts triggered by fluctuations in hormones such as androgens. These hormones can increase oil production, clog pores, and cause inflammation. It often shows up around the chin, jawline, and lower face, especially in adults.

Hormonal shifts can happen at any age. Periods, pregnancy, postpartum changes, PCOS, or even stress can trigger acne flare-ups. Unlike teen acne, hormonal acne is more common in women and can persist well into adulthood.

Hormonal acne tends to be deeper, more inflamed, and cyclical, often appearing before or during a menstrual cycle. It usually affects the lower face, whereas teen acne can occur more broadly across the forehead, cheeks, and nose.

Skincare helps manage oil, bacteria, and inflammation, but often isn’t enough on its own. Combining the right in-clinic treatments with targeted skincare gives the best results. At Caci, treatments like LED light therapy, peels, and skin infusions are designed to calm active breakouts and improve skin health.
