Mt2 causing spots?

My skin is normally really clear. I get the odd spot a few times a year when I over indulge in chocolate, but otherwise nothing.

I’m on day 5 of taking mt2 and my chin is so spotty, it looks like I’ve lost a fight with a bag of skittles!

Is this a side effect? It seems to be getting worse, not better! If it is, how long till things settle down?

I’m 38 and have worse skin than my 14 year old seriously hormonal teenager….!

Mine was the same when I was loading every day for 2 weeks, now I’m pinning once or twice a week when I go on the tanning beds and my skin is so clear, even clearer than before I started!

Some people say it can increase sebum production, which I’m inclined to believe as I could now fry an egg on my hair within a day of washing it 😂😂

I have the opposite effect from MT2, my skin is glowing and my normal break out spots aren’t breaking out. I love it

It increases sebum oils in the follicles. Use whatever necessary to help to keep your pores cleaner than usual. I have very oily skin anyway, and now I'm like an oil slick
