Winlevi Experiences?
Has anyone tried Winlevi, the topical spironolactone? I have hormonal acne, but no explanation for it. My cycles are extremely regular literally no explanation for hormonal acne other than androgen sensitivity? Curious of everybody’s experience with it and if it’s even worth it to talk to my dermatologist about it. TYIA!

Got off of birth control (Yaz) about two years ago. I knew I would probably break out, but I didn’t expect it to last this long. I have tried what feels like everything. I got facials. The esthetician ruined my barrier with way too many actives about 5-6 months ago, so now I use only very gentle cleanser very gentle moisturizer, azelaic acid (good molecules 10%) every other night, and BP 2.5% as a spot treatment (i don’t tolerate it well as a consistent active). I do all of the things repairing my barrier, keeping it simple and constantly changing my sheets. I feel like I’m at a loss. Birth control is not an option for me because it makes me miserable lol. I do take Clear-stem MindBodySkin and it helped for a while but I think my body has just gotten used to it. I use only non-
comedogenic products and makeup. Any out of the box suggestions? I’d prefer not to go on Accutane but if that’s the only choice, it is what it is. It’s so disheartening going from beautiful skin to feeling like you can’t win, and I’m open to pretty much any help.
*I also do not have PCOS. The hormonal acne is somewhat unexplained 🤷♀️
