hormonal acne for over two years. Pimples mostly


Client: Mariam, 24 years old
Skin Concern: Persistent hormonal acne (chin & jawline)
Duration: 8 weeks
Goal: Control breakouts, reduce inflammation, and prevent new acne

Background

Mariam had struggled with hormonal acne for over two years. Pimples mostly appeared around her chin and jawline—classic signs of hormone-related flare-ups. She tried different products, but most were too harsh and caused irritation.

She wanted a routine that was gentle, affordable, and effective.

What We Did

Week 1–2: Reset Phase

To avoid irritation, she stopped all harsh products (scrubs, strong toners, whitening creams).

We introduced a simple routine:

Her skin became calmer with fewer painful bumps.

Week 3–4: Balancing Hormones + Skin Barrier

We added:

Breakouts reduced by around 40%, especially around her period.

Week 5–6: Targeted Treatment

Introduced:

Her painful cystic acne dropped significantly.

Week 7–8: Routine Stabilization

Mariam stayed consistent.

Results at week 8:

  • 70% fewer acne breakouts

  • Less oiliness

  • Smoother texture

  • Inflammation reduced dramatically

Her confidence improved, and she now maintains the same routine.

Final Results

✔️ Hormonal acne reduced by 70%
✔️ No more painful cysts
✔️ Balanced oil production
✔️ Skin barrier restored
✔️ Long-term manageable routine

Key Lessons

  • Simplicity works better than too many products

  • Hormonal acne improves when diet & skincare work together

  • Consistency always beats expensive treatments

  • Sunscreen prevents dark marks from getting worse

You’re Applying Moisturizer on Dry Skin This is one of the biggest mistakes. Moisturizer works best when your skin is slightly damp , not dry. ✔ After washing your face ✔ Pat — don’t completely dry ✔ Apply moisturizer immediately This traps water inside your skin. 3. You...
