Dermatologist put me on spironolactone and it is a miracle. I had horrible big painful cysts and other issues from a hormonal imbalance.

Before spironolactone I was taking spearmint and it worked fairly well. Spearmint is an anti-androgen. Androgens are hormones that excess of them can cause oily skin and other problems.

This is what is right for me, and I cannot emphasize how life changing it was, but you need to see a dermatologist to see what is right for you. And maybe your GP because any underlying hormone imbalance deserves to be treated properly by a doctor.

Just a heads up: exactly zero topical treatment ever worked for my hormonal acne. I tried -everything-. Trust me. Everything, to the best of my ability, because I hated my acne so much. I was all over skincareaddiction and asianbeauty. Save yourself time and money and skip this song and dance: go to a doctor.
