Yes, provided the active ingredients are adapted. Hormonal acne is often accompanied by more reactive skin and cyclical flare-ups, so soothing formulas with centella asiatica or heartleaf are more suitable than aggressive exfoliating treatments, which risk further irritating already sensitive skin.

In persistent or severe cases, dermatological advice is still recommended in addition to the Korean routine.

Cleansers and creams are used morning and evening. Exfoliating serums or concentrates are generally reserved for evening use, sometimes every other day at first to acclimate the skin.
