Ever since i have started using protein powders my skin (jawline especially) is breaking out like crazy, literally a huge pimple or more every single day. I have always had acne, but it was never this severe. I am using good quality PP, and have changed brands many times just to make sure.
Have anyone had a similar experience?
I am so reluctant to stop using PP, not only because it's so convenient but also because it's so expensive where i live and i have just bought 5 Ib of the stuff... but then i i cannot stand ruining my complexion

(note: i am not lactose intolerant, and i have always consumed dairy on daily basis without dairy causing my face to breakout)

    I use protein powder, and even give it to my 13yo on occasion, and we haven't had a noticeable change in skin appearance. We use plain whey protein however.

    What are the other ingredients in your powder? Have you changed anything else?

    Can I ask what protein you are using?

    Acne on the jawline is normally hormonal.
