A prescription formula combining topical spironolactone with niacinamide. It targets hormonally driven breakouts along the jawline, chin, and lower face, with care guided by your clinician and delivery if prescribed.

Active ingredients

Spironolactone, a topical anti-androgen that helps reduce the hormonal signals linked to adult acne. Niacinamide (vitamin B3), which calms inflammation, reduces visible redness, and supports the skin barrier.

How to use

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin as prescribed, usually once or twice daily. Your clinician personalizes frequency based on your skin and response.

Potential side effects

Most effects are mild and often settle as your skin adjusts. Possible side effects may include:

mild dryness or light flaking
temporary stinging on application
redness or irritation
changes in oiliness as oil production rebalances

If you have persistent symptoms or signs of an allergic reaction, seek medical care.

What is Acne Formula: Hormonal?

A prescription skincare formula designed for hormonally driven adult acne. Unlike breakouts triggered mostly by clogged pores, hormonal acne tends to appear along the jawline, chin, and lower face, often in deeper cysts that flare around the menstrual cycle. Topical spironolactone targets the hormonal signals behind these breakouts, paired with niacinamide to keep the skin calm and balanced.

How does it work?

How does Acne Formula: Hormonal work?

Spironolactone blocks the local effect of androgens, the hormones that drive excess oil production and trigger hormonal breakouts. When applied to the skin, it works directly on the oil glands without the systemic effects of an oral medication. Niacinamide reduces inflammation, calms the redness from active breakouts, and supports a healthy skin barrier. Together, these ingredients address the hormonal root of breakouts while keeping the skin comfortable. Individual results vary.

How to use Acne Formula: Hormonal?

Use your formula exactly as directed by your clinician. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin in the areas where you tend to break out, usually the jawline, chin, and lower face. Most plans use it once or twice daily, with timing personalized to your routine. Use daily broad-spectrum SPF, since active ingredients can increase sun sensitivity.

What is Acne Formula: Hormonal?

A prescription skincare formula offered as part of a clinician-guided plan, designed for hormonally driven adult acne. Your clinician will explain why it fits your skin and history.

How does it work?

Topical spironolactone blocks the local hormonal signals that drive breakouts, while niacinamide calms inflammation and supports the skin barrier. Your clinician will explain what to expect for your skin.

How is this different from oral spironolactone?

Topical spironolactone works directly on the skin where it is applied, without the systemic hormonal effects of the oral medication. This makes it a gentler option for many patients with localized hormonal breakouts.

How do I use it?

Apply exactly as prescribed, usually a thin layer once or twice daily on clean, dry skin in your breakout-prone areas.

How often do I use it?

Most plans use it once or twice daily. Follow your label and avoid extra applications to "catch up."

Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

No. Spironolactone is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Tell your clinician if either applies.

Do I need to wear sunscreen?

Yes. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is recommended, since active ingredients can increase sun sensitivity.

How should I store it?

Store as directed on the label, away from heat and direct light, with the container closed.

What if I miss a dose?

Resume your normal schedule. Do not double up.

How long until I notice results?

Some people see calmer skin within four to six weeks. Clearer skin and fewer cyclical flares usually build over two to three months of consistent use.

Can I use it with other actives?

Possible. Share your full skincare routine and medication list so your clinician can advise safely.

What if it irritates my skin?

Pause and message your clinician. Lowering frequency or adjusting where you apply often helps.
