yes whey is a milk derivative and dairy products are known to cause acne in some people, myself included. I noticed one time when i went on vacation my skin cleared up a lot. When I came back it got worse. I had been avoiding dairy and eating healthy but i never thought the whey in protein could cause breakouts. I realized that that was part of the problem and my skin has been consistently better since i stopped using it. I went protein-less for close to a year until i found carnivor beef protein (look it up) i think it works wonderfully. Also avoid soy protein cause it fosters higher level of estrogen and you want to avoid playing with your hormones if you have acne. Ive seen other non-whey proteins like egg white, hemp, rice, etc but i think the beef one is the most affordable and effective

∙ 13y agoA very common side effect of some testosterone enhancing supplements is a severe breakout on your back and shoulders. It is NOT Acne, it is just your body trying to remove the excess testosterone. Use a liver cleaner with your Post Cycle therapy and it can help reduce the effects.
