I began taking maca about 6 months ago on a daily basis and it has definately reduced and helped prevent breakouts around my period. Being as it does affect the balance of your hormones, it is best to begin slowly with perhaps 1tsp for a few days, working up to a tbsp then 2tbsp. Observe how your body reacts to the maca (mood changes & differences in breakouts etc) and decide for yourself whether or not it will benefit you. No single product will work for everyone, but maca has a long-standing history in treating hormonal imbalances, and being a natural product is perhaps worth a try over potentially harmful man-made hormonal pills. Reducing your intake of dairy and red meats could also help re-balance hormones which are upset by the presence of hormones in these products.

All the best :)

No I didnt use it for acne,I used it for balancing hormones.For Acne try a cheap product called dr mist.It is used for Body Odor , but its excellent for acne.I used to get some Acne on my back,now I just spray this on.It took a couple weeks.I pay about 6 dollars for a bottle that lasts more than a month.I get mine a london drugs.For 6 dollars it doesnt hurt to try.
