As someone who was diagnosed with PCOS ten years ago, I can tell you for a fact that, as far as skincare goes, my journey has been far from smooth. From dealing with persistent flare-ups to combating non-stop breakouts, I know that navigating PCOS isn't easy (especially when dealing with other side effects like insulin resistance—but I'll save that for another time).
I'm not exaggerating when I say that it took me years to curate a skincare routine that actually works. I spent far too long overwhelming my skin with actives in a desperate bid to cure my acne, instead of focusing on gentle yet practical solutions that wouldn't compromise its essential moisture barrier.
