Does drinking protein shake really gives you pimples?

Hi, I've been working out for about a year now and I've been thinking about drinking protein shakes because it seems more convenient, effective and a delicious way to get your protein after a workout. However I've been hearing that protein shakes gives you a lot of pimples because of Amino Acids, this kinda turns me off into buying one because I have a pretty clean face... and I don't want to have it ruined because of this. What do you guys think? Is this true or is it just a myth? Btw I've tried Designer Whey Chocolate protein for 3 days... 1 scoop each that's why I know it's delicious haha... but as of now I know it doesn't really affect me in any way because the serving is too small, just actually want to have a taste of it and bought 3 scoops from my trainer.

hi their bro! i pump some irons too and take large dose of protein shake and other natural food with higher biological protein value, with regards to your question, well, it depends, if your have lactose(tolerance) allergy try using whey isolate rather than whey concentrate cause we have different types of whey (isolate, concentrate, and hydro)..the best whey brand today is 100% GOLD STANDARD WHEY by OPTIMUM NUTRITION (ON)...pump it up bro!
