Did any of you ladies experience breakouts after taking Biotin?

I want to try it but I have heard a lot about acne breakout due to use of biotin.. I'd rather have decent hair than a face full of acne. :))

I did break out a little when I first started but it subsided within a month. I take it everyday- my nails are way stronger and my hair grows faster. totally worth a few breakouts.

I use Biotin every day. You?re taking too much if you?re breaking out. I did my research before I purchased it and everyone who said they were breaking out said they were taking 5000mgs. 2 tablets daily and/or weren?t drinking/eating with it. I use 250mgs. one pill twice daily with a big glass of water and I?m perfectly fine. Basically just don?t purchase one with a super high dosage because that?s way too much for your system.

I did, but I think if was the high dose I took , and it made me oilier on my face and hair.

The point you should be focusing on is people either break out terribly when they take a high dosage or they?re lucky and they don?t. If you?re willing to chance getting possible cystic acne on your face for the next while, I?d say like with anything take it in moderation and see how it goes. Angelica R. maybe you?re one of the lucky ones but anything new should always be taken cautiously and in small amounts unless advised by a professional who deems it alright to up the dosage.

Well I've started off with the 1000 mcg. Idk if that helped or not. But I don't STRICTLY EVERY SINGLE DAY take 3 tablets a day! Sometimes I forget to take my pills or to take my last pill. You know what I'm saying? Idk if that the reason why I did not break out!
