Hormonal Acne: What Actually Works

What Is Hormonal Acne?

Hormonal acne presents differently than teenage breakouts. It’s usually:

  • Located on the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks
  • Deep, painful, or cystic in nature
  • Associated with PCOS, thyroid disorders, or post-pill rebound
  • Triggered by stress, poor sleep, or high-sugar diets
  • Resistant to standard over-the-counter acne products

At The Eterne Clinic, we often see this pattern in women aged 25–45 — though adult hormonal acne also affects men, especially due to testosterone fluctuations or high-glycemic eating habits.

Why Topicals Alone Aren’t Enough

Most face washes and spot treatments only address the surface — but hormonal acne runs deeper. The root causes often involve androgens, insulin resistance, cortisol, or chronic inflammation.

That’s why we developed the Klear Protocol — a comprehensive, evidence-based program targeting active breakouts, pigmentation, and acne prevention at the source.

Klear Protocol – Hormonal Acne Treatments That Work

Klear Anti-Acne Drip

An IV infusion packed with skin-clearing actives like glutathione, zinc, vitamin C, and antioxidants.

  • Reduces oxidative stress
  • Supports liver detoxification (especially in PCOS)
  • Promotes even skin tone from within

Klear Anti-Acne Clean-Up & Peel

A targeted dermatologist-performed treatment that:

  • Removes clogged pores and comedones
  • Calms inflammation and swelling
  • Uses salicylic and mandelic peels for gentle exfoliation

Clarifying Carbon Laser Facial – Powered by Radianz

This zero-downtime facial uses Q-Switched Nd:YAG technology and carbon lotion to:

  • Absorb oil and impurities from pores
  • Vaporize acne-causing debris with laser bursts
  • Refine texture and reduce post-acne scars

Lumecca IPL Treatment for Acne

When adjusted for acne-prone skin, IPL therapy:

  • Targets and eliminates acne-causing bacteria
  • Reduces redness and vascular breakouts
  • Improves skin clarity and post-acne marks

High-Frequency Wand Therapy

This gentle tool uses low electrical currents to:

  • Disinfect skin after extractions
  • Dry out active whiteheads
  • Prevent future bacterial overgrowth

Klear Anti-Acne Facial

A skin-calming, medical facial designed to:

  • Detoxify pores using enzymes and AHAs
  • Rehydrate skin with non-comedogenic masks
  • Support barrier function for sensitive, acne-prone skin

Unlike regular spa facials, this one works with your skin cycle — not against it.

Tailored for Your Skin – Not Just a Trend

Every hormonal acne treatment plan at The Eterne Clinic is personalised after a detailed review of your:

  • Hormonal and metabolic profile
  • Skin type and sensitivity level
  • Inflammation markers and lifestyle factors
  • Medical history including PCOS, thyroid issues, or chronic stress

We also track your progress through professional photographs and clinical evaluations — not just the mirror.
