How Hannah Finally Cleared Her Acne: A Client Success Story

Over the years, I've been so fortunate to have helped even in the most “difficult” cases  - the clients who've given up all hope - clear their skin.

Meet Hannah, a story that might sound a lot like yours. After trying everything her dermatologist recommended, from antibiotics to topical treatments to birth control, nothing worked for her acne—until she found our program.

At Hannah's first appointment, she was hopeless. She had spent over a year working with her dermatologist, trying everything from antibiotics to Retin-A and countless topical prescription products to clear her skin. When none of that worked, her doctor suggested an IUD (a birth control implant), hoping it would regulate her hormones and stop her breakouts.

But here's what happened: The IUD didn't help her acne—it made it worse. And I see this happen way too often! 

 Hannah's “before” pictures tell the story. Her breakouts were worse than ever, and the most frustrating part? She had no obvious “acne triggers." Her diet checked out, she wasn't using pore-clogging products, but her acne kept forming - with a vengeance.

So what was the solution?

I took a proven, simplified approach with her. Hannah started a topical skincare routine using a strategic schedule of active products. This means we increased the strength of her “active” products every 2 weeks to prevent her acne from adapting to treatment - this is key!

 In just under 3 months, her skin completely cleared up—without medications and without having to remove her IUD. In other words, she cleared her hormonal acne without changing her hormones. 

Today, Hannah's skin is still acne-free, and she's maintaining it with a minimal skincare routine.
