Spironolactone Topical Cream
Spironolactone has been used topically and orally to treat mild to moderate hormonal acne. We offer a compounded formula by prescription only of Spironolactone 5%. This topical cream is a localized treatment option for both men and woman. Spironolactone cream can be a solution that doesn’t cause these same systemic side effects but can help with hormonal causes of acne at the skin level.
Benefits of Spironolactone in cream include its anti-inflammatory properties’ which can reduce redness and swelling of lesions, and it is a targeted treatment used only where acne is of concern. It also reduces sebum production (skin oil) which prevents clogged pores and the formation of acne lesions. The treatment is usually applied to affected area 1 to 2 times per day for 6 - 8 weeks for noticeable effects.
Spironolactone 5% cream is dispensed in an airless pump with metered dosing allowing easy localized treatment.
