as I understand it, acne is a result of too much testosterone. Spiro directly reduces the amount of testosterone(How I don't know) thus reducing acne.

IR causes the ovaries to over produce testoserone. Met directly helps control IR which results in the ovaries NO LONGER over producing testoserone. Therefore the Met indirectly reduces the amount of available testosetone thereby reducing acne.
