Understanding Hormonal Breakouts & Cyclical Skin
Why it Occurs
Hormonal breakouts follow a predictable pattern, flaring around your menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum, or times of stress. As progesterone and testosterone levels fluctuate, your sebaceous glands produce more oil and your skin becomes more inflammatory - creating the perfect conditions for those deep, painful spots that appear like clockwork, usually along your jawline, chin, and neck.
The frustrating truth: you can't stop your hormones from fluctuating. Birth control or medical intervention might help, but for many, hormonal breakouts are an ongoing reality that regular spot treatments can't fully address.
Frank's approach: Work with your hormones, not against them. While we can't stop hormonal fluctuations, we can help your skin handle them with minimal breakouts. Our remedies keep pores clear, reduce inflammation, and strengthen your barrier so that when hormone surges happen, your skin doesn't react with massive flare-ups.
WHY HORMONAL BREAKOUTS ARE SO STUBBORN
Hormonal skin differs from regular breakout-prone skin because the trigger is internal and cyclical:
Progesterone surges increase oil: In the luteal phase (week before period), progesterone spikes sebum production significantly
Androgens stimulate sebaceous glands: Testosterone and its derivatives make oil glands larger and more active during certain cycle phases
Inflammation sensitivity peaks: Estrogen's anti-inflammatory effects decrease just before menstruation, making skin more reactive
Deeper, more painful spots: Hormonal breakouts tend to be cystic—deeper in the skin and more inflammatory than surface spots
Predictable timing makes prevention possible: Unlike random breakouts, hormonal patterns mean you can anticipate and prepare your skin
HOW FRANK'S REMEDIES HELP
How Frank's Remedies Control Hormonal Breakouts
Our approach addresses the inflammatory, oil-heavy environment hormones create:
✔️ Regulates Oil During Hormone Surges: Keeps pores clear even when progesterone spikes sebum production mid-cycle
✔️ Reduces Hormonal Inflammation: Anti-inflammatory botanicals calm the heightened reactivity that makes hormonal spots so painful
✔️ Strengthens Cycle-Long Protection: Consistent barrier support means skin stays resilient through all phases of your cycle
✔️ Prevents Deep Cystic Formation: Keeping pores clear and inflammation low prevents those painful, deep hormonal spots from forming
While we can't change your hormones, we can dramatically reduce how your skin reacts to them. Many customers report going from severe monthly breakouts to just 1-2 minor spots, or even staying completely clear through their cycle.
Frank's Approach vs Others
✔️ Works preventatively throughout your cycle not just as a spot treatment when breakouts appear
✔️ Reduces both frequency and severity of hormonal breakouts - fewer spots that are smaller and less painful
✔️ Safe for long-term use unlike harsh treatments you can only use intermittently
✔️ Doesn't disrupt your cycle or hormones - works with your body, not against it
✔️ Effective for all types of hormonal skin - menstrual cycles, pregnancy, postpartum, PCOS, perimenopause

Your Questions About Hormonal Breakouts
How do I know if my breakouts are hormonal?
Hormonal breakouts typically: appear on lower face (jawline, chin, neck), flare around your period, are deep and painful (sometimes cystic), and follow a predictable monthly pattern. They often start or worsen in your 20s-30s even if you had clear skin as a teenager.
Will this work if I'm on birth control?
Yes! Many people still experience hormonal breakouts while on contraceptives. Our approach works alongside hormonal treatments to help your skin cope with any remaining fluctuations.
I have PCOS - can this help?
While PCOS requires medical management, our skincare can significantly help with the breakouts it causes. Many PCOS customers report dramatic improvement in their skin's appearance and comfort, though results may take longer (3-4 cycles).
What about pregnancy/postpartum breakouts?
Hormonal chaos during these times can wreak havoc on skin - our gentle approach supports your skin through these major transitions. For use during pregnancy - you must check the products with your medical practitioner.
What if it doesn't work for me?
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If you don't see reduction in hormonal breakouts after 30 days of consistent use, contact us & we'll refund you in full.
