Results-driven acne treatments designed to reduce breakouts, help acne scarring, calm inflammation and support lasting skin health.
Hormonal fluctuations can trigger excess oil production, making pores more likely to become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. This creates an ideal environment for inflammation and acne-causing bacteria, often resulting in persistent breakouts, particularly around the jawline, chin, and lower face.
Hormonal acne is common during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause and with conditions such as PCOS.
Sebum is the skin's natural oil that helps keep it hydrated and protected. When the sebaceous glands produce too much oil, it can mix with dead skin cells and block pores. This creates an ideal environment for acne-causing bacteria to thrive, leading to inflammation, blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts.
Excess oil production can be influenced by hormones, genetics, stress, and certain lifestyle factors.
Pores become clogged when excess oil, dead skin cells, and impurities build up within the hair follicle. When this material can't escape the skin's surface, it creates blockages that can develop into blackheads, whiteheads, or inflamed pimples.
Regular exfoliation using Sircuit Skin or O Cosmedics, as well as professional treatments can help keep pores clear and reduce future breakouts.
Your skin naturally has a slightly acidic pH, which helps protect against harmful bacteria and supports a healthy skin barrier. When this balance is disrupted by harsh skincare products, over-cleansing, or environmental factors, the skin can become irritated, dehydrated, and more prone to inflammation. A weakened skin barrier can also encourage acne-causing bacteria to thrive, increasing the risk of breakouts.
