At Gapianne, we have selected products with ingredients of natural and organic origin , which will help you treat your hormonal acne for good while protecting your long-term health.
WHAT IS HORMONAL ACNE?
Do you have facial acne at 25, 30 or even 40? You are surely affected by hormonal acne, like 50% of women!
This type of acne is mainly caused by an imbalance of hormones (such as increased androgen hormones , such as testosterone) that stimulate the sebaceous glands, causing overproduction of sebum and clogging of pores.
It is often observed in pregnant women, during periods of puberty, menstruation and menopause (just that!).

2- The hormonal anti-acne care routine
STEP 1: REMOVE MAKE-UP AND CLEANSE YOUR SKIN EVERY DAY, MORNING AND EVENING
Arguably the most important step to beautiful skin, the ABCs to adopt regardless of your age. The best thing to do is opt for a double cleanse with water and oil.
Removing your makeup with an oil allows you to deeply cleanse your skin, remove your makeup, and remove excess oil that has built up during the day (oil attracts oil!) without dehydrating your skin. At Gapianne, we've found Oden's 100% natural makeup remover oil for you, suitable for all skin types. We LOVE IT!
Then cleanse your skin with a suitable cleanser. This aqueous formula will rid the skin of any remaining dirt while moisturizing it.
THE BEST EFFECTIVE CLEANSERS AGAINST PIMPLES
When it comes to finding the best acne-fighting face wash for acne scars, there are a wide range of options available, and sometimes it can be overwhelming! A good face wash should be gentle on your skin while still being effective at fighting acne. It's important to look for creams and cleansers that are non-comedogenic , meaning they won't clog your pores.
For example, the Nidéco brand has quickly become a benchmark in France for the effectiveness of its acne-fighting creams, gels, and facial cleansers, which are made from natural, healthy, and non-toxic substances. You'll also find several products in our store, all tested and approved by the Gapianne team!
CLEAN THAT FACE ANTI-IMPERFECTION FACIAL CLEANSER - NIDÉCO
Gentle cleansing gel, purifies, cleanses and rebalances the skin to effectively combat imperfections.
This comforting balm based on essential oils soothes your anxieties and helps you sleep better.
STEP 2: Nourish and hydrate your skin
To maintain healthy skin, we recommend choosing a skincare routine that includes both moisturizing and nourishing ingredients to help keep your skin's hydrolipidic film healthy and retain water. Remember, the hydrolipidic film is made up of both water and lipids (sebum).
This is a need felt by all skin types, even the oiliest. Nourishing means providing fat (lipid) and hydrating means providing water.
To moisturize your skin, we turn to water-based products. You can replace your day cream with Nidéco's Oh My Periods moisturizing gel to prevent the appearance of cycle-related imperfections, two weeks before the start of your period. It can also be used as a daily day cream to limit imperfections at any time during your cycle. Its fluid, non-greasy texture leaves your skin mattified.
Nourish your skin daily with an oil adapted to your skin type for smoother skin with fewer imperfections and a perfect moment of self-love, we massage ourselves while applying it and it feels good! Oden's natural and virgin oils are cold-pressed in France and come from organic farming. No other additives for your skin and that's really a gift! Place 2 to 3 drops of this jewel oil in the palm of your hands before massaging your face and neck, morning and evening. If you have imperfections, we recommend Oden's hazelnut oil made for combination to oily skin.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE HORMONAL ACNE?
Acne breakouts usually occur before or during menstruation. It's often the first sign that our period is coming!
Hormonal acne usually manifests as red, inflamed pimples and papules (cyst-like) around the chin, forehead, jaw, shoulders, back, décolleté, etc. It can also be inflammatory and painful.
There may be deep cystic lesions or nodules under the skin.
Conventional acne treatments, such as cleansers or topical creams, often have limited effectiveness on hormonal acne.
WHAT CAUSES HORMONAL ACNE IN ADULT WOMEN?
Women are more prone to severe hormonal acne because of hormonal imbalances experienced throughout their lives: the menstrual cycle, the contraceptive pill, pregnancy, childbirth, menopause... are stages during which the variation in hormones can lead to an increase in acne. For some, it is a long-term struggle (yet another one as a woman!) and in order to get rid of acne while taking care of your health, it is best to choose natural solutions and healthy products for your skin .
