Temporary
struggled with acne, large pores, and rough texture since puberty. I tried everything from salicylic acid, tretinoin, diet tweaks, supplements, and dermatologist visits but nothing worked fully.
Then I studied the endocrinology and dermatology literature. Androgens, especially testosterone and DHT, ramp up sebaceous gland activity, increasing oil production and acne risk. Studies show acne sufferers generate higher levels of skin androgens even when blood levels are not elevated, suggesting local conversion via 5α reductase is a key factor (PMCID: PMC3051853).
Estrogen does the reverse. In both human and animal studies, high systemic doses of estrogen reduce sebaceous gland size and sebum output. One review on the biology of skin showed that large amounts of estrogen given systemically reduce both the size and activity of sebaceous glands (J Invest Dermatol, 2002). Clinical observations in trans women confirm that feminizing hormone therapy including higher estrogen leads to decreased oil production and less acne (PMC Article on Feminizing Hormone Therapy).
It is also well established that the combined oral contraceptive pill containing estrogen reduces free testosterone and thus sebum production through increased sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), which correlates with acne improvement (Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2012).
SOLUTION :
I went all in under medical oversight and started a high-dose estrogen regimen enough to fully suppress androgen activity. Within six weeks my skin was totally transformed. Oil production nearly vanished, redness cleared, scars softened, and skin texture became refined. My pores appeared poreless.
This is not bro science. The results mirror what these studies demonstrate. When you address the hormonal root cause at high potency the skin responds like a reset switch. If you want skin as flawless as models in their early 20s you need to consider real hormonal regulation and not just topical fixes.
TL;DR: Stop coping with face washes. Your acne, oil, and crater pores are from androgens frying your skin. High dose estrogen kills androgens, kills oil, and makes your skin glass. Science proves it. If you’re serious about mogging, inject estrogen ASAP or stay subhuman.
