Will A Thermogenic Fat Burner Worsen Existing Acne Problems?

Hi, I am 19 yrs old and have been workout out for 3 years now. I am considering to buy a thermogenic fat burner ( muscletech hydroxycut hardcore elite) but i have seen some review which mention that using these capsules cause breakouts and more acne. I have been facing acne problems for 5 years now and want to know whether if the intake of these fat burner will worsen my acne problems or not along with any other side effects of these thermogenics ?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne problems which occur when there is hormonal changes, stress and clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. It is mainly hormonal in your case. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Thermogenic fat burner can worsen existing acne problems. You should A
apply Meladerm cream and it is purely safe to use as this is combination of hydroquinone, Tretinoin and steroid and apply it at night time. Also wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. You should apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. Avoid taking oily and greasy food. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course and can also go for chemical peel containing Glycolic acid.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
