3 Skin Care Ingredients To Use For Adult Acne and Hormonal Mediated Acne:

#1: Pyridoxine (AKA Vitamin B6)

#2: Azelaic Acid

#3: Zinc

We all know that hormones play an important role in skin care and acne. The terms 'Adult Female Hormonal Acne' or 'Hormonal Mediated Acne' can refer to acne that occurs because of hormonal changes or hormonal sensitivity within the body.

There are about fifty different known hormones in the body that control a variety of biological processes including muscle growth, heart rate, menstrual cycles and hunger.

The hormone that is of relevance to skin treatments and adult female hormonal acne is called 5a-reductase, Type 1. This is the family of androgens responsible for masculine qualities: acne, hair loss and hirsutism (excessive facial hair), as well as an increase in both facial and body hair.

All women produce androgen. It's when androgens outweigh estrogen either through total amount or genetic hypersensitivity to the mere presence of androgen that a problem may arise. If you suspect this may be causing you skin problems, please seek the help of a medical specialist trained in healing hormonal issues.

There are topical formulations available that include specific ingredients to help you address or inhibit the enzyme 5a-reductase:

• Pyridoxine (AKA Vitamin B6)
• Zinc
• Azelaic Acid

When these three ingredients are used together in low concentrations hormonal acne improves greatly. 

Additionally, azelaic acid is FDA approved as a topical preparation for the treatment of acne and is effective against a number of skin conditions when applied topically to the skin.
