Frequently Asked Questions

Hormonal breakouts can develop when changing hormone levels influence oil production and contribute to clogged pores. They commonly appear around the chin, jawline and lower face, although they can occur elsewhere.

Stress, skincare products and environmental factors may also affect breakouts, so a consistent routine that keeps pores clear without over-drying the skin is important.

Hormonal breakouts are associated with fluctuations in hormone levels and often recur in similar areas, particularly around the chin and jawline. Other blemishes may be more closely linked to pore congestion, product use, sweat or environmental factors.

Because several factors can contribute to breakouts, it is important to choose skincare that addresses congestion while supporting the skin barrier.

Salicylic acid helps exfoliate inside the pores and reduce congestion, while niacinamide can help support a more balanced-looking complexion. Hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients are also beneficial when breakouts occur alongside dryness or sensitivity.

Introduce active products gradually and follow the directions to help minimise unnecessary irritation.

Yes. Skin experiencing hormonal breakouts may still feel dry, tight or sensitive, particularly during perimenopause and menopause or when strong blemish treatments are overused.

Combining targeted treatments with a lightweight moisturiser can help maintain hydration without leaving the skin feeling heavy.

Spot treatments can be useful for individual blemishes, while cleansers, serums and moisturisers help support the wider routine. The right approach depends on the products you use and whether your breakouts are occasional or recurring.

Follow the directions for each product and avoid layering too many active ingredients at once.

During perimenopause and menopause, fluctuating hormone levels can affect oil production and contribute to unexpected blemishes. At the same time, the skin may become drier, thinner or more reactive than it was previously.

Using skincare that targets clogged pores while preserving hydration can help manage breakouts without placing additional stress on the skin barrier.

Use a gentle cleanser, a targeted blemish treatment and a lightweight, barrier-supporting moisturiser. Avoid harsh cleansing and excessive exfoliation, which may worsen dryness and sensitivity.

Apply broad-spectrum SPF each morning and introduce new active products gradually so you can monitor how your skin responds.

Skincare for hormonal breakouts helps manage blemishes linked to changing hormone levels while maintaining the hydration needed for a healthy skin barrier. Murad's collection includes dermatologist-developed cleansers, serums, moisturisers and targeted treatments that help clear pores, reduce visible blemishes and support a calmer, healthier-looking complexion.

Whether you're experiencing recurring blemishes around the chin and jawline, increased oiliness or a combination of breakouts and dryness, Murad's formulas use ingredients such as salicylic acid and niacinamide alongside hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients. This balanced approach helps address congestion and excess oil without unnecessarily drying the skin.

During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal fluctuations can cause unexpected breakouts while the skin may also become drier or more sensitive. A targeted routine can help keep pores clear, manage excess oil and maintain hydration for more balanced, comfortable-looking skin. Always finish your morning skincare routine with broad-spectrum SPF.
