Does anyone have any experience with taking New Chapter's Estrotone for adult hormonal acne?
Being on Yaz really helped my skin but I am going off birth control in a few days FOR GOOD and heard about taking Estrotone to balance out the hormones that are causing my adult hormonal acne. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

I don’t know about New Chapter Estrotone but Spironolactone is a medication used primarily for the treatment of high blood pressure. Recently it has been used to treat acne and excess hair growth in women. Spironolactone and flutamide act by blocking the effects of testosterone (androgen) on the oil glands and hair follicle. It is the male hormone testosterone which triggers the acne. The result is a reduction in oil production and facial hair growth, and the improvement of acne and excessive hair growth.
The optimal dose of spironolactone varies in different individuals and may require some adjustment. The benefits are usually apparent in two to three months, but frequently within one month. This drug has been used for over 25 years. Check with your dr.
