Hormonal acne is something that a girl can't usually control with skin care, etc. How would guys feel about it having a girlfriend with hormonal acne? What do the girls think about it on girls or guys?
Firstly , let's accept the emotional. element of it , because I went though this and I was a little too late to act , I would see a doctor and get a referral to a dermatologist, my doctor helped me a lot , and a big part of it was feeling immediate improvement.
The good news is , ( and I know this does not help now ) long term you will retain younger looking skin , my problem was crystic acne which was not on my face , so eventually when I got the referral , I had just let it become too bad.
But these times were difficult for me , but eventually I got though it.
This is why I really reccomend knowing that you have done all you can do you feel emotionally stable and this makes dating easier , as in don't try and hide it , keep it clean , no cola or coffee , I think looking holistically at the entire issue makes the question you've asked much easier.
So , I have no doubt it will not be an issue , but going at it head on and addressing is best , you will do just fine , and good luck , take it seriously and enjoy your dating.
Take care.

If I like the girl, I like her no matter what. Side story here. I know of several people with different forms of acne who were MISDIAGNOSED by medical doctors. Turned out to be food allergies which were diagnosed by a natural doc/herbalist. It was candida, which wasn't talked about much 20 years ago. One person had it well into adulthood, then changed their diet and voila, it's gone!
So, before you spend all kinds of bucks on cremes and prescribed meds, consider that it might be something you love to eat and eat often, or something that you may eat less often but causes the ongoing issue.
I would not say that it is pleasing to look at (I had it super bad in my early 20s. Healed now though.) It was blow to my self confidence. But, I still had dates, I still felt loved. Personality is more important for sure. When I see someone with it, I feel bad for them & I also wonder if something in her diet is aggravating it to make it worse. And when that girl with acne has self confidence & isn't afraid to show it, that self confidence is attractive. You soon forget all about the acne on her face.
Eh, what's a little acne?

My cousin had a lot of acne when she was a teenager and then she tried proactive and I never saw acne on her face again. I'm not sure if they still sell it cause I have not seen ads for it in years but her face is all cleared up.
I’ve never dated but I still can’t throw stones. I had it bad from 12 or 13 until my mid-20s, mainly in the “T zone” as I heard it called. No treatment other than a special face wash for a little while. I avoided looking in the mirror and hated being seen in places with bright lights. Fast forward to today, my skin is still a grease factory but I’m surprised at how much younger I look than a lot of those who were a year or two behind me in school.
I suffered from it for a very long time. It all started when I hit 16, then got worse in my late 20s. I finally found the best dermatologist in the town when I hit 30. He prescribed be a 3 months of hormonal medication and gave me specific cream to apply. It took like 6 months before my skin cleared. When I got pregnant last year, my skin glowed even more and now it remains that way lol. I couldn’t be anymore happier.
In my teen years, I had a girlfriend who had it and I had mixed feelings. She was cute and pretty but whenever I wanted to make out or more, I didn’t want to touch her face or felt it was different rubbing against her and eventually we ended, though in good terms. Today she is super cute with excellent skin!
She needs to get a bigger dildo and get her hormones under control...
Joking aside, it's actually not a big problem. Usually it's just an imbalance and it's why most are prescribed contraceptives to bring down their levels, and topical cream to deal with the outbreaks.
Its a patience thing.
I know how horrible it is to have acne, especially severe acne (like the girl in the photo). It completely wrecked my self-esteem. I'm so thankful I'm no longer a teenager for that reason alone.
It's not really the kind of thing to think anything about. It's not like she has much control over the situation.
If I think anything at all it would be that I'm sorry she's going through the situation.
Most teenagers have acne.
You're 18. If you have acne, that just makes you part of the crowd.
You probably look fine.
To be honest I find it attractive to a certain extent.
I don't have any reason why.
And to be clear I'm too old to be talking about teenage girls, I'm talking about full grown age appropriate to me women.- u
should consult with a dermatologist... professional healthcare
I look past it and imagine what she would look like without it. It's not something she can really control. I've never let a woman's acne effect how attractive she was.
As long as it isn’t excessive it doesn’t matter very much
It doesn't really bother me any, even though I get pretty insecure about my own acne when I get it.
Most men do not care about stuff like that, only women who push idiotic beauty products on women.
As a guy I think it's a part of growing up and it's just a part of their personality. My crush had acne and she looked beautiful. I'm not sure how others would look at her acne though

its totally normal but better see a dermatologist
Not a big deal, but I guess it means I would be dating someone pretty young! Lol
Its not like I find it attractive but been there myself.
Would it be insensitive to recommend a certain dermatologist for them?
It's just a normal occurrence that can't be helped.
You said it; you can't control something hormonal with skin care.
You have to balance your hormones
