Some people claim that it does, some people claim it clears them up. There isn't any evidence either way and I think it is all psychological. Best thing to do with acne is drink a lot of water.Originally Posted by KarlRsup·ple·ment (spl-mnt)

no it doesnt, maybe if you have an intolerance to the lactose in it(which is usually next to nothing), that could cause it, but i have never heard of such a thing.

It gives me a little acne, but nothing huge. I also consume a lot of whey protein though, i get 144g just from whey per day, so that might have something to do with it.

No evidence it would.

Without being an expert, I'd say that it is unlikely that protein powders will cause acne, unless the lactose content is high.
