Hi, I am 32 years old and I still experience acne breakouts. My acne appear always at the same period of my monthly cycle, usually the breakouts occur the week before cycle. Actually, many women suffer hormone induced acne. This condition can be regulated wit contraceptive pills, that are based on hormones and regulate them. Some doctors propose antibiotics, but from my experience it is not necessary. Topical retinoid, hydrogen peroxide and other skin cleansers are also needed to keep your skin clean from oil and bacteria, and by that avoid conditions for acne development.
