DIM (Diindolylmethane) for hormonal acne at the root - A plant-derived compound from cruciferous vegetables, DIM supports the body's metabolism of estrogen and reduces the relative androgen activity that drives hormonal acne, particularly the deep cystic breakouts along the chin, jawline, and cheeks associated with hormonal fluctuation.
Bioavailable Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate) for skin cell turnover regulation - Vitamin A in its systemic form regulates the rate at which skin cells are produced and shed, reducing the hyperkeratinization inside pores that leads to blackheads and comedonal acne - functioning as a gentle, body-mediated retinoid alternative without topical irritation or sun sensitivity.
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) for sebum reduction - Clinical research has demonstrated that high-dose Vitamin B5 significantly reduces acne lesion counts by supporting Coenzyme A (CoA) synthesis, which in turn regulates sebaceous gland activity and reduces excess oil production at the skin surface.
L-Glutathione for brightening and oxidative defense - The body's primary intracellular antioxidant, Glutathione neutralizes the free radical activity that amplifies inflammatory acne and supports the reduction of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation - visibly improving dark marks and uneven skin tone left behind by previous breakouts.
Milk Thistle and Dandelion Root for liver and lymph detoxification support - Both botanicals are well-established in herbal medicine for their support of hepatic (liver) detoxification pathways - directly relevant to hormonal acne, as the liver's efficiency in processing and clearing excess estrogen and androgen metabolites significantly impacts how much circulates in the body and drives skin inflammation.
5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) for stress and cortisol modulation - A naturally occurring amino acid precursor to serotonin, 5-HTP supports the body's stress response and helps reduce the cortisol spike that directly triggers stress-related and PMS-associated breakouts. Secondary benefit: supports deeper, more restorative sleep when taken in the evening.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) Root Extract for systemic anti-inflammatory action - Curcumin, the active compound in Turmeric, has demonstrated broad anti-inflammatory effects in peer-reviewed research, reducing the inflammatory cytokines that amplify acne severity and supporting faster resolution of active breakouts.
Protease for digestive optimization and nutrient absorption - A digestive enzyme that breaks down protein in the gut, Protease ensures the bioavailability of the supplement's active ingredients and supports gut health - the gut-skin axis being a well-documented relationship in the science of inflammatory acne.
Betaine Hydrochloride for stomach acid support - Supports optimal gastric acid levels, which are required for the proper absorption of fat-soluble Vitamin A and the efficient processing of the supplement's full active ingredient stack.
Clinical study results - 89% preferred over traditional acne treatments - In a 24-week clinical efficacy study with 30 participants presenting moderate to severe acne, 89% reported they would choose MINDBODYSKIN® over traditional acne treatment approaches. 81% saw their skin stay clear over time. 81% saw improved skin texture. 85% agreed the regimen was brightening their skin.
Suitable for women and men - Hormonal acne is not exclusively a female condition. The androgen-driven mechanisms that DIM and Vitamin A address are equally relevant to men experiencing hormonally influenced breakouts.
Drug-free, gluten-free, dairy-free - No antibiotics, no isotretinoin, no synthetic hormones. Clean capsule formulation with HPMC (vegetarian capsule shell).
