    Default Tonalin CLA and Breakouts?

    Hi everyone! Yes, another Tonalin question...lol

    Anyway, I have been taking Tonalin CLA for about a week now, 3 pills a day, and notice that my face is breaking out pretty badly in ways it never did before. I am getting large, cyst-like pimples along my jawline, and little annoying bumps on my forehead. My skin isn't perfect, but I just don't usually break out like this, not even when I am getting my period.

    My diet hasn't changed, neither has any of the other meds I am on, so I wondered if it could be the Tonalin. Has anyone had any bad skin reactions like this to Tonalin CLA? If so, did it clear up, or was that just a side effect of the Tonalin?

    Don't know if this matters, but I am taking Natrol brand Tonalin CLA 1200 mg. I am following the recommended dosage on the bottle - 1 capsule 3x a day.

    I am bummed because I was really hoping to get some good results from the Tonalin, but now that my face looks like shit, I don't know if I should continue on it.

    You know since it is pure safflower oil it may be causing breakouts on you due
    to it is a large amount of oil that you are putting in your body.
    I did not notice any breakouts during period of time I was taking it (I ran out).
    Don't take it for a while and see if it clears up.Sorry that probably doesnt help much

    My skin cleared up, but I cut down the Tonalin to 1 a day, so I don't know if that was it...I also did a TCA peel in the last month, so that may have helped also. I was so bummed if it was the Tonalin that was causing it, because I think I was starting to see results from it.

    I might try to up my Tonalin back to 3 a day and see if the breakouts return. Hopefully not!
