What Causes Hormonal Acne?

Hormonal acne is triggered by internal imbalances:

• Increased androgen hormones (stimulating oil production)
• Excess sebum clogging pores
• Inflammation and bacterial growth
• Stress and lifestyle factors
• Menstrual cycle fluctuations

Korean treatments focus on reducing oil, calming inflammation, and strengthening skin resilience.
