Spironolactone is a potassium sparing diuretic with testosterone blocking effects that is commonly used for the treatment of hormonal acne.  It does not cause wrinkles.The only thing I think you could be experiencing may be some dehydration.  As a diuretic it is important to replace fluids, drink water.  Dehydration is not good for the appearance of your skin.

Morris Westfried, MD · Answer

Spiral tone like any synthetic medication has side effects but wrinkle promotion is not one of them. It used for androgen dependent issues such as resistant acne in adult women and slowing down facial hair growth while undergoing laser treatment.
