The phenomenon of acne coinciding with the menstrual cycle is mainly caused by the changes in hormones during the menstrual cycle. Starting from puberty, throughout the reproductive age, and during the period before menstruation, the level of androgen or the ratio of androgen to estrogen is relatively high in women, leading to active sebaceous glands, excessive sebum secretion, clogged facial pores, and massive reproduction of Propionibacterium acnes, which in turn causes the expansion of acne.
