it’s called winlevi. it’s topical spironolactone but it recently got approved so there isn’t much information for how it works in the long term, if it’s effective for hormonal acne.
I've been on spironolactone since I was 16 and gone through 3 different dermatologists. I'm in my mid 20s now. They've all told me that I'm probably going to have to take it until menopause. It freaks me out to have to be on a medication for that long just to stop acne but all of them were kinda like 🤷♀️ this is the only option to not have acne. It makes me feel so much better that you are so open about these conversations and gives me hope that there are other solutions
The main thing that stopped my acne in late 30s was cutting out most of the inflammatory foods I was eating (sugar, dairy, and gluten). My acne cleared up within a few days, almost fully within two weeks and it's been five years now with great skin and I never eat dairy and gluten (but sometimes sweets 😊). My derm wanted to put me on some scary pills to stop acne, so I did my own research to understand inflammation and the foods that caused it (derm NEVER mentioned this and only pushed pills/creams 🤬)
I got prescribed spironolactone for acne and all it did was mess my period cycle up for 3 months and didn’t even help the acne so we decided not to take it anymore and it still took a month or so for my period to be more regulated after that. never again for me lol.
I'm glad I've been on BC for half of my life, then! I'm about to hit 30, and I've had minimal experience with hormonal acne as a result of my implant 💪🏻, AND I've had lessened issues with my Hashimoto's, too, so I'm happy for my bandaid implant, even moreso, now!!
Spirinolactone 2 months now and it's finally working! I had a beard pattern of acne for about a year. Now crystal clear. ❤ oh and my hairline is growing back with a vengeance! watching your videos helped me find my treatment plan
As a thought - consider advocating for sorting out the function of your liver via taking liver support and cleanse, iron etc supplements to gain good balance. A lot of women have these issues with estrogen, bowel movements and other things fix not only the hormal acne but also the actual hormones. As someone who did have this issue I recently went through a programe designed by my friend Biopath based in Norway, it really worked wonders, skin, belatedness, energy, levels via eating good, drinking home made bone broth. It is like a second job, but really worth it, a holistic approach. This is just a suggestion - I love your Chanel and have learned a lot from your. By the I am recently back from France with a suitcase full of French skincare like the A312 and ialuset, wink wink 😊, thank you for all the recommendations, I’m a fan of you.
I started getting acne like actually at 19 yo. I just had a couple pimples in my teens. I got diagnosed PCOS last year and got pills for that and now it's so much better. I love these videos. Great tips and motivation to do my skin stuff daily
it’s really good I’ve been using it for 6 months and I love it I no longer have hurting painful acne around my period and I can focus on not making my skin perfect but healthy
Yees. ❤ My luteal phase is the most hectic, towards the days leading up to my cycle/menses. Very comforting to know, thank you. I rely on Benzoyl Peroxide and sanitizing, cleansing + a blackhead popper tool (stainless steel circular tool to remove painful blemishes: sanitize the tool both before even during and/or after and my skin & treat right after: thankfully it works and relieves but it’s definitely not something I’d advise anyone else of course but it’s my regimen that helps combat). Lots of gentle moisturizing afterwards. ❤It’ll heal up on its own. • Till the next go-around 😂😂😂 It’s just an inevitable.’
I’ve had so many clients who struggle with inflammed cystic acne, and hypo/hyperpigmentation after going off birth control that they had been on for years
Winlevi is not yet available in my country. What about topical ketoconazole ? Will it help doc since it is known to have anti androgen proporties ? What about Myoinositol supplement? I have heard it may reduce acne and androgens in PCOS patient?
Winlevi actually left my skin more oily throughout the day and I never saw good results. My dermatologist is amazing and has had good outcomes with other patients but it can not work for some people.
My chin used to ERUPT due to hormonal changes. if only it was easy to track them weekly or something 😅 Worth mentioning PCOS and overall metabolic health too like insulin resistance
I've been so scared to get off my birth control bc its the only thing that really helps with my acne. I've been taking it for like 10 years now (but took two or three breaks, in which I started getting horrible acne). This sounds wonderful
Having had severe cystic acne that was entirely hormonal, I'd advise anyone with acne to have their hormones checked: trying to treat breakouts topically in a setting of high androgens is like fighting with one hand behind your back.
With this same cream work on your scalp to block DHT as I am now a menopausal woman experiencing hair loss, the joys of being a woman never end. Edit: Decided to look it up and yeah they’re doing clinical trials so fingers crossed that will get another medication other than minoxidil, finasteride or spironolactone for androgen hair loss.
genuine question, as a transgender woman, im 20 now, so i am curious. is hormonal acne still likely to occur for me, later on, tho the estradiol blood concentration is very stable and my androgen is in the undetectable range at the moment? i take estradiol valerate, 100 mg per 5 ml, 0.25 ml once every week. my estradiol concentration is 664 pg/ml
Winlevi is great but since it is name brand only most insurances don’t cover it… it’s super expensive. Even through specialty pharmacies it costs 75 dollars a month.
Is this cream effective for severe hirtusim? I have it face neck chest etc ): life ruining any suggestions would be so helpful I been taking spirolactone for a month or so but no diff yet and does make u dizzy etc n whatnot .... I drink spearmint tea when can but thats literally about it. I am from northern ireland UK and nhs is useless when comes to hormonal stuff and withold a lot of things that WOULD help very chronically negligent and stupid esp about severe hormonal issues etc but any effective creams, pills, herbal anything everything anyone has info on would be great to know. This is first time Ive even heard there is a cream that can help with dht etc /:
I was on spironolactone 50mg for 1.5 years along with 5mg Accutane and then had to stop in 2023 because it was messing my periods. I was put on Metformin and it made me sick so had to stop. I started getting acne again in September and had to go back on it in November but only half the dose of spironolactone and Accutane was reduced to twice a week. I so frustrated with acne, I love my derm in South Delhi (Delhi is the capital of India fyi) but I still wish I could consult with Dr. Idriss. Doctor please make a video on hormonal acne and what's the maximum we can do to control it. Diet, lifestyle, medicines, skincare everything.
I’ve always been healthy and taking really good care of my skin and I never had acne when I was a teenager until I got into my 20s and got terrible cystic acne and now I’m almost in my mid-30s and still suffering with acne. Thanks for this information it makes sense.
I’m 22 and deal with hormonal acne! Like you I didn’t really have much problems with acne as a teenager but as soon as I turned into an adult my acne got so bad. It’s comforting to know that others have a similar experience as me
Please can you explain what azalic acid is and if it’s worth putting into my skin routine for singing that has chronic mild acne and hyperpigmentation 🙏🏼✨
I don't have hormonal acne but two drs wanted to put me on spironolact for peach fuzz. They also recommend the cream after my rebuttal but i don't want any of that. Upon researching further on my first day taking it, I read that potassium can get high enough in the blood to kill you. I started tasting salt my 2nd day taking it so I quit because i love me more than I hate peach fuzz. Im just dealing with it like a g now.
I already take a beta blocker for migraines which lowers your blood pressure and can cause dizziness (I thankfully have had little to no side effects) but would it be safe to also go on spironolactone if that’s also causes lower blood pressure and dizziness? I feel like nothing else has helped my acne!
I have hormonal acne right now because I'm pregnant. How do I fix it? I can't do anything that messes with my hormones... do i just have to deal with it until im done breastfeeding?
Does this also works for hormonal acne for teenager? Or like 16-24? I'm currently 19 and have probably hormonal acne (it's only at my chin and cystic) and don't want to take birth control pills for this (I just don't want more hormones in my body and I just don't wanna be forced to take the pill for this, as it's quite uncomfortable to get from the pharmacy and I don't need it for the birth prevention part), not sure about spironolactone (I'm not a fan of pills in general). Alright checked sth myself, seems like it's also suited for teens, for kids starting at 12. Sadly it won't come to Germany where I live until start or 2025, well, good to know it is sth that exists tho
I got it last year after I turned 32- crazy hyperpigmentation with it too. It’s driven me mad but it’s fairly under control now it took months tho, and I still get flare ups
What about trans men like myself ? Who have to be on HRT 😅 I’ve had hormonal acne my whole life and it finally calmed down once I started being consistent with my hormone injections I’m post full hysto and have no estrogen 😅feel like I’ll be stuck in the cycle forever.
I've had hormonal acne on and off since my 20's but then for years in my 30's it went away, the day I turned 40 it came back with a vengeance and brought friends 😂😂
Omg, I think this is happening with me now!!! Crazy spread of acne along my jaw line, while I have NEVER had any pimples there or problems with that area, have been trying to understand wtf is happening with my skin for two months now 😭😭😭😭 could you please tell more on the subject? 💔
I dislike the usage of the words "pill popper" always but especially here. Taking one medication doesn't make you a "pill popper", taking medication irresponsibly is and even then I'd never call someone that
Regulating your hormones should come through food and is a journey. Birth control is perscribed to every woman for everything. Pill popping for anti-baby pills is the right word... i was relieved someone finally acknowledged that. We all have hormones which we should understand what causes them to fluctuate and we should understand how to regulate them through diet and food habits. Hormonal acne and pcos can be regulated with food. Im not talking about other gynecological issues.
@@emi432emi Going on a specific diet can help you deal with symptoms of health issues like PCOS and hormonal acne a little bit, but it is not nearly as effective as medication. Diet does have an effect on hormones, but there are many other factors that affect it too. To shame someone for taking the medications that help people is wrong.
This happened to me in my thirties, and it was bad. I've been on spironolactone since then. My doctor has suggested that I might consider coming off of it because I no longer have any issues like that, but I am so scared. The acne I had affected me so badly that I never want to experience it again. What should I do?
I turned 30 this year and all the sudden I started getting horrible acne on my chin and jaw! I was so confused, I’m 30 not 13! I’m on Doxycycline now for a month, so far no change. It’s actually gotten worse lately 😢
Please please tell what dose you take and for how long you have been taking it and does it cause side effects. Will hormonal acne come back if you stop it?
The best treatment for hormonal acne is : Regulate your blood sugar since insuline is the cause of testosterone production. Take care of your gut. Fix mineral and vitamine deficiences : zinc, iron, and especially vitamine D. Exercice Lower stress and get sunlight daily Eat a lot of good fats and proteins to improve hormone production.

I cleared my hormonal acne in aesthetician school. Did chemical peels and enzymes. Light therapy, tea tree masks. Changed my home regimen and it disappeared ❤
I take 50mg a day, purely for the androgen blocking properties. But since it's a diuretic, it's good to be mindful of things like fluid and sodium intake (hydration in general, especially if you have low blood pressure). Also important to check liver function once in a while
I got it in my early 30s after getting off birth control that i had been on for 15+ years. Spironolactone saved me. It took a while. And you have to check your potassium intake and get it checked with blood work, but oh so worth it.
Wow! This is the first video I've ever seen that explains my hormonal acne 😭 I'm 27 years old and it just started about a year ago. No matter what I do it won't go away

Plz can u do a detailed video on this?
Ty!❤❤❤
Oh my goodness YES! Im in my late 20s and started getting hormonal acne, like i literally have a 5 o'clock acne shadow🧔♀️
Oh, spirolactone also works for other issues too! It can do wonders for the hair loss and , moustache hair, and of course acne from PCOS

Hey do men get hormonal acne too? And can I use this for myself as well?
I’ve had so many clients who struggle with inflammed cystic acne, and hypo/hyperpigmentation after going off birth control that they had been on for years

Mandelic oil 💯
38 and still rocking allll da hormonal acne, weirdly didn’t start until after I turned 30. Le sigh
I pop three little white pills everyday! And pee a lot but skin is clear! Spironolactone wins!
Please please tell what dose you take and for how long you have been taking it and does it cause side effects. Will hormonal acne come back if you stop it?
I was wondering why after a clear skin period im getting so many spont on my chin at 26!
anyone know how to prevent late 20s acne via a diet?like what can i eat and incorporate into my diet to minimise this?
I've had hormonal acne since I was 11 years old...😢
The best treatment for hormonal acne is :
Regulate your blood sugar since insuline is the cause of testosterone production.
Take care of your gut.
Fix mineral and vitamine deficiences : zinc, iron, and especially vitamine D.
Exercice
Lower stress and get sunlight daily
Eat a lot of good fats and proteins to improve hormone production.
Sleep well
All this things will fix your hormones which is the cause of your acne so your acne will disapear from itself without taking any pills that will destroy your health,
Ps : all this things have no side effects not like birth control pills or spiro.
I am speaking from experience and this is the only things that cleared my skin.
You’re telling me I can get a hormonal acne surge AGAIN. AGAIN!!?
had I known I would've not started accurate (im 19)
I had it really bad from 10 yrs to 14 yrs old. Along my jaw
Or fluoride!!!! Yes, F might be giving you spots
❤❤❤❤😊
"Pill popper" is a gross term, especially since more than half of all Americans take medication unrelated to acne.
I’m in my late 30s and get it
Damn I'm slowly getting rid of mine and it can come back in late 20s??😢
26 here and now i know, why i have acne on my jawline. Wtf.
I am not 20 not 30 I am 40 and still get hormonal acne!!!!
do you think chin reducing v shape silicone bandage tape work in the long term?? would love to know ur views on this! @pillowtalkderm
I am curious, is there any evidence on this product with respect to hormonal acne..
Im 40 still have acne
My birth control GAVE me acne so what now 😭😭 I'm 32
I just started getting that and just turned 30 wtf.
now why i got that shit like the moment i turned 19. fucking hormones bruh i’ve been on spironolactone for almost a year now (am 20)
I could barely see or here name of the recommended cream from derm
Ok yes 😮😮😮
Or just drink spearmint tea every day!!!
why do i get it at 16
i am cursed. acne all my life
I'm 41 and I still get acne and ys its a biyatch😅😅😅no matter what i do
Going on birth control gave me more acne than when i wasn’t on bcp 🥹
My acne problem areas are still my forehead ever since. And actually caused my hair loss.
Please make a full video about it i think i have it but not sure 😢
I cleared my hormonal acne in aesthetician school. Did chemical peels and enzymes. Light therapy, tea tree masks. Changed my home regimen and it disappeared ❤
But if it’s hormonal, it comes from inside
Am so tired of taking spironolactone
What dose? For how long you have to take it? Thank you! 😢
What dose do you take , and does it cause side effects.
I take 50mg a day, purely for the androgen blocking properties. But since it's a diuretic, it's good to be mindful of things like fluid and sodium intake (hydration in general, especially if you have low blood pressure). Also important to check liver function once in a while
