Can Men Get Hormonal Acne?

Acne in early adulthood can be a very frustrating experience. It can happen to both men and women. Sometimes in women, adult acne is attributed to hormones. Does it work the same way for men, too? Can men get hormonal acne?

It’s true that the cause of acne in men happens for a variety of reasons. One of those could be a hormonal imbalance. Let’s look at the root cause of hormonal acne in men, and how the right clear skin products can help solve the problem, from Cosmedica Skincare.  

The Cause of Hormonal Acne in Men

The main cause of hormonal acne in men is fluctuations in androgens, including the hormone testosterone. When a man produces unbalanced levels of this hormone, it can cause the skin to overproduce oil, which in turn clogs pores and leads to acne breakouts. Using the right skincare products for acne is a start, but if as a man, you suspect hormones could be a problem, it’s a good idea to get a full medical checkup by your doctor. 

The Best Men's Skincare Products for Acne

To solve acne problems with the best men's skincare products, it’s vital to start with an oil-free skincare regimen that you use twice a day, morning and night. That’s going to involve at the minimum, a cleanser, treatment serum, and an oil-free moisturizer that’s geared towards skincare for acne. 

In looking at clear skin products, the cleanser that you want to start with is one that has vitamin C for skin. Try Cosmedica Skincare’s Vitamin C Facial Cleanser. Vitamin C for skin is a natural antioxidant that can restore clarity and diminish the appearance of old acne scars. This cleanser is oil-free and will remove impurities that cause blemishes in the skin. A lot of men just grab any old bar of soap (or even their shampoo!) in the shower to cleanse from head-to-toe. Don’t do that, please. It’s time to step up your game and eliminate acne with our Vitamin C Facial Cleanser. 

The Balance for Oily Skin

The next step in your clear skin products regimen is a treatment serum that will balance out oil, by holding in the right amount of beneficial moisture with our Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Plus, it can reduce redness and the swelling of acne bumps. Think of hyaluronic acid serum as a protector for your skin to prevent more acne from forming. 

 

Follow up our hyaluronic acid serum with the Vitamin C Facial Day Cream. Once again, it’s an oil-free Vitamin C for skin product that will help to make your skincare regimen more effective against fighting acne. 

One More Way to Fight Acne

There is one more product that will help clear up acne in men’s skincare products. It’s our Mineral Enzyme Exfoliant. The goal of this product is to help reduce potential toxins and debris in the skin that are clogging your pores and causing acne breakouts. Use it right after you cleanse, 3-4 times a week.
