Menopausal Acne
Acne isn’t just for teenagers—menopausal acne is a common concern for many women going through hormonal changes.

What treatments will be right for me?
What causes acne during menopause?
Menopausal acne is primarily caused by hormonal fluctuations that occur as estrogen levels drop and androgen levels rise. These changes can increase sebum production, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. Stress, diet, and genetic factors can also contribute to menopausal acne.
How can menopausal acne be treated effectively?
Menopausal acne can be treated with a combination of topical medications, hormone therapy, and professional skincare treatments. Retinoids and salicylic acid are common topical solutions, while hormone therapy can help balance out the underlying hormonal shifts. Emepelle, which is specially formulated for oestrogen-deficient skin, and ZO prescribed Skincare can help nourish, hydrate, and restore balance to the skin, making them effective components of a menopausal acne treatment plan.
Can hormonal imbalances during menopause cause acne breakouts?
Absolutely. Hormonal imbalances, specifically the drop in oestrogen and increase in androgens, are a major trigger for menopausal acne. This hormonal shift can increase sebum production, which leads to clogged pores and acne breakouts.
What skincare routine is best for managing menopausal acne?
A balanced skincare routine for menopausal acne should include gentle cleansers, exfoliants like salicylic acid, and retinoids to encourage skin cell turnover. Emepelle, designed specifically for oestrogen-deficient skin, can help counteract dryness and loss of elasticity, while ZO prescribed Skincare products can provide targeted solutions for acne and skin rejuvenation. Moisturisers that are non-comedogenic and contain hydrating ingredients are also essential, as menopausal skin often becomes drier. Sunscreen is critical to protect the skin and prevent further irritation.
Is menopausal acne preventable?
While it’s challenging to completely prevent menopausal acne due to natural hormonal fluctuations, its severity can often be minimised. Maintaining a good skincare routine, such as incorporating Emepelle for hormonal skin support and ZO prescribed Skincare for acne management, can make a significant difference. Managing stress, eating a balanced diet, and staying hydrated are also helpful in preventing or reducing the severity of menopausal acne.
