Whey protein = acne ??

bigmandevo

Hey friends

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with having breakouts whilst on whey protein? For those of you stopped whey did you find a suitable substitute. And did the acne stop too?

Thanks fam

If you suspect whey is causing your breakouts, why not try a soy powder?

Hi - I have adult acne (it sucks!) and my dermatologist DID tell me to avoid whey protein because it can increase breakouts for some people. I use this vegan protein powder (pricey but soy-free, i'm allergic): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CLD74WQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Since using this protein powder I have not had any change to my skin condition - no more acne than normal. Hope you find a good substitute too - Good luck!

I tend to have a breakout whenever I start going hard on losing weight, but then it clears up as my body adjusts. Any kind of change can cause hormone fluctuations that can cause temporary breakouts.
