What are acne hormones anyway?

Hormone levels change during our lifetime, for both FEMALES and MALES, during all ages and stages of life. This can include puberty throughout the teenage years, and pre-menopause and menopause.

This change in hormones can cause more sebum and inflammation, leading to more acne.
