Estrogen and progestin (combined oral contraceptives) are prescribed for women with moderate to severe or hormonally driven acne, especially when topical treatments are insufficient or acne flares with menstrual cycles. They carry risks such as blood clots, stroke, and hypertension—particularly in smokers or women over 35—and should be used with caution in those with cardiovascular risk factors.
