Clear Hormonal Breakouts and Balance Oil Production
Experiencing adult acne, jawline breakouts, or congested pores for the first time in years? Hormonal breakouts during perimenopause and menopause are incredibly common — even if you never had acne before. Fluctuating hormones trigger oil imbalances, inflammation, and congestion that traditional acne treatments often make worse.
Common Symptoms You Might Be Experiencing
Many women search for relief from:
- Jawline and chin breakouts that appear cyclically
- Deep, painful cystic acne that won't come to a head
- Congested pores, blackheads, and rough texture
- Combination skin — dry cheeks but oily T-zone
- Breakouts that get worse with stress or hormonal fluctuations
- Skin that's both dry AND breaking out at the same time
- Post-inflammatory marks that take forever to fade
Why Menopause Causes Hormonal Breakouts
As oestrogen declines, the ratio of androgens (male hormones like testosterone) becomes relatively higher. This triggers increased oil production, thickened pore lining, and inflammation — the perfect storm for adult acne. Meanwhile, your skin barrier weakens, making it harder to fight bacteria and heal breakouts.
Our Topical Botanical Hormone Support™ system uses anti-inflammatory botanicals, gentle clarifying ingredients, and barrier-repairing oils to balance oil production, reduce inflammation, and clear congestion without stripping or irritating your already sensitive skin.
What You Can Expect
These balancing, clarifying formulas reduce breakouts, calm inflammation, and improve skin texture without harsh drying ingredients. You'll experience clearer, calmer skin with less congestion over time.
Best for: hormonal breakouts • jawline acne • congested pores • combination skin • cystic acne • post-inflammatory marks

Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I getting acne during menopause when I never had it before?
Declining oestrogen shifts your hormone ratio, making androgens (like testosterone) relatively higher. This triggers increased oil production and inflammation, causing adult acne even if you had clear skin your whole life.
Should I use harsh acne treatments for hormonal breakouts?
No. Harsh treatments (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, retinol) can damage your already weakened barrier and make breakouts worse. Focus on gentle clarifying and anti-inflammatory ingredients that balance oil without stripping.
Why is my skin both dry AND breaking out?
This is classic hormonal skin. Your barrier is damaged (causing dryness), but androgens are triggering oil production (causing breakouts). You need barrier repair AND oil balancing — not drying treatments.
How long does it take to clear hormonal breakouts?
Most women see reduced inflammation and fewer new breakouts within 2-3 weeks. Deeper hormonal balance and texture improvement take 6-8 weeks as your skin cycle resets.
Can stress make hormonal breakouts worse?
Yes. Stress triggers cortisol spikes, which increase inflammation and oil production. Managing stress through magnesium, nervous system support, and calming rituals can significantly reduce breakouts.
Will these products clog my pores?
No. Our formulas use non-comedogenic botanical oils that actually help balance sebum production and support barrier repair without clogging pores.
Should I avoid oils if I have oily, acne-prone skin?
No. The right oils (like those in our formulas) can actually regulate oil production and repair your barrier, reducing breakouts. Avoid stripping your skin, which triggers more oil production.
In Summary
This collection balances oil production, reduces inflammation, and clears congestion using gentle, hormone-aware ingredients — helping you achieve clearer, calmer skin without harsh treatments.
