Your acne isn't a skincare problem.
It's a hormone problem.
Jawline breakouts. Unwanted hair. Periods that wipe you out for days. They all share one root cause — and no cleanser will fix it.
You've tried everything. The breakouts keep coming back.
- Jawline & chin acne — deep, painful cysts that keep reappearing in the same spots, no matter what you put on them
- Unwanted hair growth — chin, upper lip, lower belly. Embarrassing, time-consuming, and a sign your androgens are elevated
- Irregular or absent periods — sometimes 24-day cycles, sometimes 40. Never knowing when your period will show up
- Painful periods — cramps that make you cancel plans, call in sick, or spend two days in bed with a hot-water bottle
- Fatigue & brain fog — exhausted by midday, unable to think clearly, surviving on caffeine just to function
- Mood swings & cravings — sharp irritability before your period, intense sugar cravings at night
One imbalance. Many symptoms.
Androgen hormones — particularly testosterone and its more potent form DHT — regulate sebum production, hair follicle behaviour, and ovarian function. In women, elevated androgens are the common thread linking all of the above symptoms.
Hormonal acne isn't a surface problem. It's inflammation driven from within. Topical products can't switch off a hormone that's stimulating your oil glands from the bloodstream.
Women with elevated androgen levels consistently show more abdominal and visceral fat, irregular cycles, acne, and excess hair growth — even at a healthy overall body weight.
The androgen-acne loop — and how to break it.
"I've tried every skincare product. Why would this be different?"
Because skincare products work on the surface —
hormonal acne is driven from inside the bloodstream.
Balance & Bloom works at the source — reducing androgen production, improving insulin sensitivity, and supporting cycle regulation.
10 clinically studied ingredients. One daily dose.
Balance & Bloom is formulated around the published science — not marketing claims. Every key ingredient below is supported by peer-reviewed human clinical trials.
Myo + D-Chiro-Inositol
Acts as an insulin sensitiser in ovarian cells, directly reducing the signal that drives excess testosterone production. A 12-week study found significant reductions in testosterone, free androgen index and LH, with increases in SHBG and estradiol.⁵
Spearmint Extract
Two randomised controlled trials showed spearmint significantly reduced free and total testosterone in women with elevated androgens.³⁴ Lower free testosterone means less oil-gland stimulation and fewer clogged pores.
Vitex Agnus-Castus
In a cohort of 1,700 women, three months of Vitex substantially reduced irregular cycles (from 9.1% to 0.1%) and breast tenderness.⁶ Vitex acts on the pituitary to restore the LH/FSH balance that governs healthy ovulation.
Zinc Bisglycinate
A 2024 meta-analysis of 6 RCTs (739 women) found zinc significantly reduced period pain severity.⁸ Zinc also has established anti-inflammatory, sebum-reducing properties in acne⁹ and is a proposed inhibitor of 5-alpha reductase — the enzyme that converts testosterone into the more potent DHT.
What to expect — week by week
Energy feels slightly more stable. The afternoon slump is less pronounced. This is early insulin signalling improving from the inositol complex.
Bloating and puffiness begin to ease. Sugar cravings — especially at night — start to calm. Fewer new breakouts forming. Clinical studies on spearmint show measurable free testosterone reduction begins within the first 30 days.³
Skin is less inflamed. Existing breakouts heal more quickly. Mood swings before your period may be reduced.
Your cycle starts becoming more predictable. Period pain reducing — zinc's prostaglandin-inhibiting effects take a full 8 weeks to reach full effect.⁸ Skin texture improving. First signs of reduced facial hair growth rate.
This is where it comes together. Skin is consistently clearer. Unwanted hair growth is slowing. Periods arriving more reliably and with less pain.⁵

Acts as an insulin sensitiser in ovarian cells. By improving how cells respond to insulin, it directly reduces the signal that drives excess testosterone production. A 12-week study found significant reductions in testosterone, free androgen index and LH, alongside increases in SHBG and estradiol, when combined with D-chiro-inositol in the 40:1 ratio.⁵
A second messenger that regulates how the ovaries produce androgens. Supplying DCI directly, in the physiological 40:1 ratio with myo-inositol, restores what insulin resistance takes away. This ratio can restore ovulation in women with PCOS more effectively than other ratios tested.⁵
Two randomised controlled trials showed spearmint significantly reduced free and total testosterone in women with elevated androgens, with both LH and FSH increasing within a single month.³⁴ Lower free testosterone means less oil-gland stimulation and fewer clogged pores.
In a real-world cohort of 1,700 women, three months of Vitex substantially reduced irregular cycles (from 9.1% to 0.1%) and breast tenderness (from 39.9% to 0.8%), with 85.2% reporting improvement in menstrual pain.⁶ Vitex acts on the pituitary to restore the LH/FSH balance that governs healthy ovulation.
A 2024 meta-analysis of 6 RCTs (739 women) found zinc significantly reduced period pain severity vs placebo.⁸ Zinc also has established anti-inflammatory and sebum-reducing properties in acne⁹ and is a proposed inhibitor of 5-alpha reductase — the enzyme that converts testosterone into the more potent DHT. Bisglycinate form is substantially better absorbed than zinc oxide.
Up to 40% of women carry a variant of the MTHFR gene that prevents efficient conversion of standard folic acid. Quatrefolic® is the active, immediately bioavailable form — no conversion required. Essential for liver methylation, the process responsible for clearing metabolised hormones from the body.
The coenzyme form of B6, active without liver conversion. Required for progesterone synthesis and plays a direct role in reducing PMS severity — including cramps, bloating and mood swings. Also supports neurotransmitter production to stabilise mood across the cycle.
Functions more like a hormone than a vitamin — receptors are found throughout the ovaries and reproductive system. Low D3 is strongly and repeatedly associated with elevated testosterone and hormonal imbalance severity. Sourced from lichen, not lanolin, for a genuinely vegan, high-bioavailability D3.
A randomised controlled trial found saffron extract significantly reduced appetite cravings and between-meal snacking driven by hormonal fluctuation.¹⁰ Active components support serotonin activity — helping stabilise mood and ease the anxiety that often accompanies PMS and hormonal skin flares.
Inhibits the digestive enzymes that break down active compounds before absorption. Studies show piperine can increase the bioavailability of co-administered nutrients by up to 20%, making every other ingredient in this formula work more effectively.

They were where you are now.
I had hormonal cysts along my jaw for two years after stopping the pill. I tried three different skincare routines. Nothing worked until I actually addressed the hormonal side. By week 6 the new ones stopped appearing. By month 3 the old scars were fading.
My periods were anywhere between 22 and 45 days apart. I also had chin hair I was waxing every 3 weeks. Two months in: my last two cycles were exactly 30 and 31 days. The chin hair is growing noticeably slower. I'm genuinely shocked.
Periods used to be two full days in bed. Serious — I'd call in sick. After 8 weeks, last month's period was the first I've had in years where I didn't reach for strong painkillers. I actually went to work.
I have PCOS and my skin was always breaking out — deep ones, never on the surface. No cream ever worked because it was coming from inside. Three months of this and my skin is the clearest it's been since I was a teenager. My dermatologist noticed.
I've been threading my upper lip and chin every three weeks for six years. At month two I noticed I could go five weeks. By month three, some of the finer hairs on my chin just… stopped. I wasn't expecting that at all. It was genuinely the thing that made me cry.
The mood swings before my period were destroying my relationship. I was a different person for 10 days every month. Within 6 weeks my partner noticed the change before I did. That was 4 months ago and it's stayed consistent.
Body hair on my stomach and chest made me so self-conscious I stopped going swimming. After two and a half months I noticed it was coming back finer and slower after shaving. Still early days but it's the first time anything has made a difference to that area.
I was sceptical because I'd tried every supplement. The difference here is the ingredients are at proper clinical doses, not token amounts. The 60-day guarantee made me try it. I did not need the guarantee.
I used to need two days of strong painkillers every month and a hot water bottle basically attached to me. Month two, I still had some cramps but they were manageable — I worked a full day. Month three: I took one ibuprofen on day one and that was it. I've never had a period like that.
Your questions answered
Hormonal changes take time to appear on skin and hair — follicles respond slowly. Most women notice energy and bloating improvements within 2 weeks, skin improvements from week 4–6, cycle improvements from week 6–8, and full results at the 3-month mark. The clinical studies our formula is based on ran for 12 weeks for a reason. We recommend starting with a 3-month supply.
No. Many women experience elevated androgens and the symptoms that go with them without ever receiving a formal PCOS diagnosis. If you have hormonal acne (especially jawline or chin), unwanted facial or body hair, irregular periods, or painful cycles, the formula is targeting the same underlying mechanism regardless of your diagnostic status.
Vitex agnus-castus can interact with some forms of hormonal contraception. If you are on hormonal birth control, please consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting. All other ingredients in the formula are generally well-tolerated alongside medication, but if you are taking any prescription drugs for hormonal or metabolic conditions, check with a healthcare professional first.
No. We do not recommend Balance & Bloom during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Spearmint extract and Vitex agnus-castus both influence hormone levels, which is not appropriate during pregnancy. Please wait until after breastfeeding is complete before starting.
If you've taken Balance & Bloom consistently for at least 30 days and don't notice any improvement, contact us within 60 days of your purchase and we'll refund your order in full — no lengthy questionnaires, no drama. We stand behind the science behind this formula.
3 capsules daily, ideally with a meal to maximise absorption. Morning with breakfast works well for most women. Consistency matters more than timing — taking them at the same time each day helps maintain steady ingredient levels.
