Dr. Tori Hudson developed Skin Assist for women experiencing hormonal acne, which is driven by androgen-stimulated sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, and inflammatory responses in sebaceous tissue — a fundamentally different mechanism than environmental or dietary acne that requires a different nutritional intervention strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc is the foundational nutrient in hormonal acne management — it inhibits 5-alpha reductase (the enzyme that converts testosterone to the more potent DHT that directly stimulates sebaceous gland activity), reduces inflammatory cytokine production in sebocytes, and has antibiotic activity against Cutibacterium acnes. Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) provides additional 5-alpha reductase inhibition. The formula includes skin-supportive nutrients for collagen synthesis and antioxidant protection alongside the androgen-modulating botanicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZinc\u003c\/strong\u003e — 5-alpha reductase inhibition and anti-inflammatory sebocyte activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaw palmetto\u003c\/strong\u003e — additional 5-alpha reductase and androgen modulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkin-supportive antioxidants and nutrients\u003c\/strong\u003e for collagen and tissue health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e180 capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e — extended supply for ongoing hormonal skin protocols\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormulated by Dr. Tori Hudson, ND\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake as directed by your healthcare provider.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitanica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51252307689774,"sku":"000000000300083074","price":51.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/3297\/1822\/files\/515x515-0010316-skin-assist-180-capsules.png?v=1779658734","url":"https:\/\/www.drmattgianforte.com\/products\/skin-assist-180-capsules","provider":"Lifeworks Integrative Health","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
