im a vegeterian of 8 years and the only dairy i eat are cheese & ice cream. i drink soy milk. i never get acne and have beautiful radiant skin =] [yeah i so stole the word radiant from the skin commercials because it makes me sound smart lol =p]

I am not 100% certain, but I heard a while back that eating soy products increases estrogen production and I wish I could tell you if this is related to acne. It’s worth investigating, however.

Well, I had acne for many years, after I became vegan (and that included soy milk), my acne vanished and never came back. Well, it will start to come back if I eat lots of either sweet foods (especially white sugar) or greasy deep fried foods. I stop eating those, gone again.

I think your skin must have broken out for some other reason than soymilk. Maybe you are drinking the sweetened soy milk that also has oil added to give it a smooth texture. I usually just have plain Chinese soy milk, nothing added. Just soybeans and water.
