Using spironolactone counteracts androgenic side effects from roids and promote skin health. Androgens increase sebum production --> to acne, and accelerate skin aging.
1. Understanding Spironolactone
2. How to Use Topical Spironolactone
- Source from India (alldaychemist/INDIAMART):Look for a prescription-grade topical spironolactone cream or gel. It’s often available in concentrations ranging from 2% to 5%.
- Cleanse Your Skin:Wash your face with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and sweat. Avoid harsh exfoliants before applying the treatment.
- Apply Sparingly:
- Timing:Apply once daily, preferably at night, as part of your evening skincare routine. I will apply it with my moisturizer and estriol gel all 3 mixed together in my palm.
- Combine with Moisturizer:Use a hydrating, acne-safe moisturizer after the application to prevent dryness and irritation. Look for one with niacinamide or ceramides to support the skin barrier.
