Get to the bottom of hormonal symptoms.

  • Hormonal acne (breakouts along the jaw & chin)
  • Moderate to severe breakouts
  • Symptoms of PCOS, like excess facial hair and gradual hair loss
  • Hair loss from perimenopause and menopause

How does Spironolactone work?

Spironolactone works by binding to and blocking androgen receptors on the skin and hair follicles to reduce acne, hair loss, and excess hair growth. If you’re taking Spironolactone for hormonal acne, you should begin to see an improvement in your skin after about 3 months, and continued improvement up to 6 months—consistency is key! Set a reminder so you don’t miss your daily dose.

Use Spironolactone to address

  • Moderate to severe hormonal acne (jawline and chin breakouts)
  • Oily skin
  • Symptoms of PCOS, like excess facial hair and gradual hair loss
  • Hair loss from menopause or perimenopause

PCOS can have several visible symptoms like acne, hair loss, and excess unwanted hair. Backed by solid clinical evidence, Spironolactone effectively addresses these androgenic symptoms by blocking the effects of testosterone and other elevated androgens. For pre- and post-menopausal hair loss, spironolactone’s ability to block androgen receptors makes it a valuable option to combat thinning hair. It’s a true game changer!
