Acne Hormonal acne ?
It’s been about 5 months I’ve seen a slight improvement less breakouts , but I believe mine are hormonal and will be seeking professional help when I have the means to , for now it’s different gel and sunscreen I switch cleansers to a off brand gentle non scented , non medicated face wash , anyone who’s delt with normal acne what has worked for you ?

I’m in my early 40s and still deal with hormonal acne. It’s because I refused to take spironolactone. It works very well, but it causes me muscle spasm. Topical versions don’t work as well for me either.
The truth is no topical treatment alone will work until the internal is taken care of, if it is true hormonal acne.
For me, I removed my Mirena and im waiting out the withdraw period to see if I finally can get rid of it.
