TikTok’s ‘Skin Cycling’ Is Improving My Hormonal Acne

Sky Clinic‘s Dr. Salome Dharamshi, an aesthetic doctor and skincare expert, explains that those who are acne-prone or have dull and pigmented skin will see the greatest skin benefits from skin cycling. However, anyone could give it a go to freshen up their complexion (though it may be a good idea to consult your derm if you’re very dry or very sensitive). Dr. Dharamshi says a skin cycling routine is an ideal way to introduce active ingredients to the skin, giving it time to absorb those ingredients and benefit from the healing cycle. “You’re most likely to notice significant improvements in skin texture, including a reduction in pore size,” adds Dr. Patel. “Those with oily or acne-prone skin and even pigmentation may also notice improved skin.”
