Whey Protein / Acne Link?

BLifts38

I googled this... and found out that there might be a link with whey protein and acne. I've recently been breaking out a lot more on my chin, and it is not going away whatsoever.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I've been breaking out in different parts of my body recently, but I am almost certain it's due to my discontinuing use of hormonal birth control.

That could be a possibility. I buy a vegan protein powder that uses plant based proteins. Its callef vega protein + greens. They sell it at like walmart and most places

Eating sausage was what made me break out.
Every single time.

When I started making whey protein shakes, I was breaking out all over my face like it hadn't done since college. I figured out that my acne was caused by the milk I was using as the base of my shakes/drinks. A lot of dairy makes me break out! I switched to almond milk and not only did I cut almost 100 calories and fat from my protein shake, I stopped breaking out!

I am allergic to whey/casein so haven't eaten it in 15+ years. Still get acne.
