Hi everyone! I’ve been dealing with cystic acne for a while now and wanted to discuss something that’s been on my mind: the relationship between biotin and breakouts. While many swear by biotin for improving hair and nail health, I’ve started to wonder if it might be aggravating my skin issues, especially since I have oily, acne-prone skin.
I began taking biotin a few months ago, hoping it would help with my hair growth. However, I’ve noticed an increase in cystic acne lately, which has been really disheartening. After some research, I discovered that biotin can sometimes boost oil production, which could be problematic for those of us prone to breakouts. It’s definitely a tricky balance between wanting healthy hair and managing my skin!
I’d love to hear from others who have experience with biotin. Have you noticed any changes in your skin after starting it? What alternatives have you found that help with both hair health and acne? Let’s share our stories and support each other in finding the right solutions!
