We’re all hopeful that once our teen years are behind us, we get to kiss acne goodbye.

Unfortunately, for many folks, that is just not the case. Did you know that 40-50% of adults struggle with hormonal acne? This week on the podcast, Cassie and Genevieve will help you determine if your breakouts are bacterial or hormonal and if you’re struggling with hormonal acne, how to do some digging for the root cause with your practitioner.
