Skin gotten worse?

[Lucky_Charms]

Hello everyone,

I have been on Reta now for 8 weeks and I have noticed my skin getting somewhat worse. I always have had acne prone skin, but try my very hardest to keep it under control.
Since starting reta I have noticed an increase in breakouts, despite keeping up with my skincare routine and hydration.

I know that reta can cause rashes etc, but has anyone noticed acne?

I would guess that this is symptomatic of weight loss/calorie deficit vs reta itself. No data to back that up. Just a guess.

Could be some hormone fluctuations from rapid weight loss

Your fat cells store more than just calories. When you lose weight all the hormones and toxins that is stored with those calories is released as well. This will result in mood swings and unfortunately acne.

That makes sense, thank you!
