What It Is

Hormonal acne is caused by fluctuations in hormones that increase oil (sebum) production, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. It commonly appears on the lower face, jawline, chin, and neck. This type of acne is often seen in adults, especially women, and may be linked to menstrual cycles, PCOS, stress, or hormonal imbalance.
