I saw a dermatologist for it while I was pregnant. It made next to no difference. I forget what he prescribed me. I just had to ride it out.

Keep it simple. Unfortunately it is due to all the hormonal changes but it does get better!

Awee are you having a bay girl by chance I heard hormonal acne is worse with a baby girl I hope you find the best skincare for you to help you clear up & feel betterāāØacne is the worst

Iāll be honest with you⦠when it comes to hormonal acne itās challenging regardless of a skincare routine because itās not a topical skin issue.
Products in my professional experience that has been able to work on hormonal acne is a retinoid. You can try over the counter retinol or see a dr if itās that bad about a prescription which will be stronger. Still over the counter isnāt always a guarantee because itās your body.
Avoid doing too much to the skin to impact the barrier. Cleanse both AM and PM ideally with a gel cleanser, make sure your skin is well hydrated and wear SPF daily.

Also, not advising you to do this just telling you what Iāve been told, some people go on contraception to help manage hormones so it can help their acne. Iāve heard the patch is quite good for this.
