Hi guys, I was wondering If some of you get acne from whey protein? I'm using Isolate whey right now and use 2-3 scoops a day with my oatmeal and get more acne on my face or back.


I'm just turned 19 btw, maybe something with my hormones going on but im not sure about it.

Hormones for sure, definitely not from the whey.

Every one is different. I would recomend seeing a dermatologist, especially if the over the counter acne medication isn't working. They will have great options for you

I notice I get some pimples when I eat a lot of sweets, I stop eating them I clear up. Never had acne though.

    Actually I don't even notice when I got them and when did they go away... but all I see are little mark over the place.

    Actually I experienced acne breakouts on my arm when I started taking whey few years ago. Anyone shares the same experience?

    My acne didn't really stop until I was about 23/24. Drinking more water and not as much alcohol helped.

    I took effervescent Creatine once and then got bad acne a few days later but don't know if it can be put down to that.

    If you are having acne problems go to a doctor to solve it, I've had them since I was 11 or 12, barely remember when I started, my worst time was when I was 16-17 but that didn't stop me from having fun or taking my shirt off, it's something normal but if you don't feel like taking your shirt of because of them definitly go to a doctor, sometimes they won't be able to solve the problem completely.

    On topic, whey does not produce acne, it's like the myth of eating chocolate, and of course your genetics, some people do tend to produce acne from different foods and some don't
