Yes, Metformin can be used to manage hormonal acne by improving insulin sensitivity, thus reducing insulin-driven androgen production that exacerbates acne.
1. Metformin may help reduce hormonal acne by improving insulin sensitivity, thus lowering androgen levels that can exacerbate acne.
2. As an insulin sensitizer, Metformin can mitigate hormonal acne by addressing the insulin resistance often linked to elevated androgens causing acne.
