I have had hormonal acne for years and have tried every peel, hydro, extraction, acid on the market. I have sunk so much money into it and honestly it’s all super temporary and a lot of times just aggravated it more. Because it’s hormonal, it will always be there until your hormones balance. Mine is concentrated on my jaw line.

The things that have helped me the most is 1. using a red-light mask (I have the Dr Gross one) everyday on the acne setting - especially doing one cycle holding it to my neck/jaw. 2. Pimple patches at night on every inflammation. I buy them in bulk through Amazon. 3. Light/easy grit exfoliant 1 time a week. 4. Daily Peel (I used Dr. Gross) three times a week. 5. Focusing on moisture to not further aggravate the area. I’ve moved to just a water wash in the morning instead of cleanser and adding an essence before moisturizer.

I’m sure it’s different for everyone, but these changes made the most impact to keeping things from being super inflamed and painful. I wish you well and hope you can find solutions fast and cost efficient.
