Topical vs. Oral Spironolactone
Oral Spironolactone acts throughout the body to reduce the effects of androgens—this is why the oral form of the medication not only helps with hormonal acne, but also excess facial hair growth and hair loss caused by hormonal changes. On the other hand, our Topical Spironolactone formula works locally at the surface of the skin to reduce the excess oil caused by androgens, and fight inflammation and redness. Because the topical cream only acts where it is applied, it has fewer systemic side effects on the body.
Depending on your needs, you may prefer one formula over the other, but both oral and topical Spironolactone are effective against hormonal acne. They can even be combined if you find you need extra acne-fighting power!
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!
