How does Oral Acne Treatment work?
Hormonal acne often starts deep beneath the skin, triggered by excess oil production driven by certain hormones—especially androgens like testosterone. Spironolactone works by blocking these hormones, helping prevent overstimulation of your skin’s oil glands.
By calming oil production and shrinking overactive glands, spironolactone reduces clogged pores, inflammation, and deep breakouts—especially along the chin and jawline. It’s an inside-out solution that topical creams often can’t reach..

Why try Oral Acne Treatment?
Targets Hormonal Breakouts at the Source
Spironolactone addresses hormonal imbalances that cause deep, cystic breakouts—especially along the jawline—reducing inflammation when topicals aren’t enough.
Promotes Balanced Skin
With daily use, most notice less oil, fewer breakouts, and a more even tone within months. It supports skin health from the inside out.
Ideal for Adult & Hormonal Acne
Unlike teen acne, adult breakouts often follow hormonal patterns. This treatment is especially helpful for women with cycle-related or stress-triggered acne.
Trusted by Dermatologists for Over a Decade
Spironolactone has been safely prescribed for 10+ years to treat moderate-to-severe hormonal acne—especially when other options haven’t worked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Oral Acne Treatment (Spironolactone) is a prescription oral medication primarily used to treat hormonal acne in women. It works by blocking androgens—hormones that can cause excess oil production and deep, cystic breakouts.
It’s especially effective for adult women with hormonal acne, particularly those who experience breakouts along the jawline or chin, or who have flare-ups around their menstrual cycle or due to conditions like PCOS.
Most users begin noticing improvements between 8–12 weeks of daily use, with full results often seen after 4–6 months. Because spironolactone works gradually, consistency is key.
Visit our Resource Center for more information on what to expect over time with oral spironolactone.
Some people experience a brief “purging” phase during the first few weeks, where breakouts may temporarily increase as pores begin to clear. This typically resolves as the treatment starts working.
Common side effects may include increased urination, breast tenderness, or changes in menstrual cycles. Serious side effects are rare but should be reported to your provider right away.
Yes. With appropriate monitoring by your provider, spironolactone can be used safely over the long term to manage hormonal acne.
Yes. Many patients combine spironolactone with topicals like tretinoin or benzoyl peroxide for enhanced results. Your provider can recommend the best regimen for your skin type.
If you stop treatment, your hormonal acne may return over time. Always speak with your provider before making any changes to your medication plan.
Spironolactone treats acne and hair concerns by blocking androgens. In men, this can lead to side effects like breast tenderness or lower testosterone, so it’s generally prescribed only for women.
