Hi, I’m Dr. Lawrence Samuels.
I am a board-certified dermatologist with a large practice devoted to acne skincare
and how to treat acne with the best acne products available.
From time to time, when I am talking to a patient about how to treat acne, they will
ask,
“Does eating chocolate make my acne worse? Are there certain foods I should avoid for
my acne problem?”
Regarding chocolate, numerous studies have shown that eating chocolate does NOT cause
acne. However, that being said, the acne gland requires sugar and fat to make oil. Sugar
and fat contained in certain foods, including chocolate, do seem to worsen acne in some
people, which makes curing acne in these cases more challenging.
For this reason, if you feel your acne is aggravated by the consumption of these foods,
it is probably best to limit foods that contain sugar and fat when determining the best acne
skincare diet.
