Hi everyone! I’ve been on spironolactone for my acne for almost 2 weeks now and wanted to know if anyone wanted to share their experience. Since starting spironolactone, I have been experiencing a lot of cystic/under the skin breakouts around my chin and temple area, and wanted to know if anyone had the same reaction! I currently have 5 red and painful under the skin spots on my chin — it has never been this bad, even when on my period.I was prescribed this by my dermatologist to target my hormonal breakouts and know that it takes time to work. I just don’t know if this “purge” or initial breakout is normal!

Spironolactone Experience?

Vanessa Hudgens has teamed up with Madison Beer and Dr. Karen Kagha to create a skincare line… They seem to have a wide range of products, but I can’t help thinking this is just another way for them to hop on a trend and a money-grab. The packaging is also too bland in my opinion.

What are your thoughts?

I’m not a fan of mineral sunscreens so I didn’t have high hopes for this. It’s greasy and feels really heavy on my face. Even when I applied it in sections and layers, there was still a noticeable whitecast on my skin. (Fenty 210) I found that it also pilled.

This is a heavier sunscreen so can double as a moisturizer.
