Hello dear. Acne breakouts in PCOS are commonly because of high androgens in your system. Acne treatment has to be tailored accordingly.
Safi will not do anything apart from giving you a psychological relief.
Schedule an online consultation for further assistance.
Next Steps
Wash face with salicylic acid based face wash twice daily. Use a non comedogenic moisturiser.
Health Tips
Avoid any and all sugary and deep fried foods. Try to loose weight. Be in touch with your gynecologist.
