It's Not Just Clogged Pores. It's Your Hormones.
Why Hormones Cause Acne
-
Androgen Surges
Hormones like testosterone fluctuate during your cycle, signaling oil glands to work overtime.
-
Thicker Sebum
This hormonal signal produces thicker, stickier oil that is much more likely to clog hair follicles.
-
Deep Inflammation
The clog happens deep within the pore, leading to painful, under-the-skin cysts that rarely come to a head.
The GLOWBIOTICS Solution
-
Probiotics to Balance
Helps to calm the skin's inflammatory response to hormonal triggers and restore a healthy microbiome.
-
Gentle Exfoliants to Clear
Ingredients like Salicylic and Lactic Acids keep follicles clear of the sticky sebum that leads to deep clogs.
-
Retinoids to Regulate
Accelerates cell turnover deep within the pore to prevent blockages before they start and helps heal existing lesions.
All acne skin conditions need support, balance and healing, not aggression, to fully restore clarity and vitality. Our products use probiotics, mild exfoliants, and anti-inflammatory technology to treat hormonal acne.

Your Hormonal Acne Questions, Answered
Why do my breakouts always appear on my chin and jawline?
This is the classic sign of hormonal acne. The oil glands in this specific area of the face, known as the "hormonal belt," are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in androgen hormones. When these hormones surge, especially around your menstrual cycle, they trigger excess oil production in those glands, leading to deep, inflammatory breakouts.
How long will it take for this routine to help my cyclical breakouts?
While you may notice a reduction in inflammation and oiliness within a few weeks, the key to managing hormonal acne is prevention. It typically takes 2-3 full menstrual cycles (about 8-12 weeks) of consistent use for the routine to regulate oil production and cell turnover effectively enough to prevent deep, cyclical breakouts before they start.
Should I only use these products the week before my period when I break out?
For the best results, you should use this routine consistently all month long. Hormonal acne is a cyclical problem that needs a preventative solution. Using ingredients like salicylic acid and retinol daily helps keep your follicles clear and regulates skin cell turnover continuously, so the deep clogs don't have a chance to form when your hormones surge.
My skin is suddenly breaking out. Can I treat pregnancy acne?
It's very common for hormonal fluctuations to cause breakouts. While harsh acne treatments should be avoided, you can safely manage breakouts with gentle exfoliation. Our Probiotic Instant Resurfacing Pads use pregnancy-safe acids to keep pores clear without causing irritation.
My pimples are deep, painful, and never come to a head. What can I do?
This is a hallmark of hormonal acne, and it's very important not to squeeze them, as this can lead to scarring. Instead of trying to "pop" them, the goal is to reduce the deep inflammation. Our routine uses anti-inflammatory ingredients and exfoliants like the Probiotic Instant Resurfacing Pads and Retinol Serums that work deep within the pore to break down the clog and calm the painful lesion from the inside out.
I'm pregnant and breaking out. Is this routine safe for me?
Hormonal acne is very common during pregnancy. However, this specific routine contains Retinoids, which are not recommended for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. We have created a specially curated page with a full routine that is safe and effective for this special time. Please see our Pregnancy Skin page for the best products for you.
