Will I Get an Acne Flare-Up with OMI Hair Growth Peptides if I'm Sensitive to Biotin?

Updated over a week ago

If you’re prone to breakouts from high doses of biotin, you’re not alone—and we understand your concern.

How is OMI different?

OMI Hair Growth Peptides are formulated with IFP Hair Factor, a patented form of Intermediate Filament Peptide, which is a highly bioavailable keratin peptide. Unlike many hair supplements that rely on high-dose biotin, OMI takes a more balanced, skin-conscious approach:

  • Moderate biotin levels to avoid overwhelming your system

  • ✅ Includes vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) to support skin barrier and oil regulation

  • ✅ Includes vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), which helps balance androgens that can trigger breakouts

Why does biotin sometimes cause acne?

Excessive biotin may interfere with your body’s ability to absorb vitamin B5, a key nutrient for healthy skin. Low levels of B6 have also been linked to hormone-related breakouts. By supporting this delicate balance, OMI helps you nourish your hair without compromising your complexion.

Still concerned?

If you have a known sensitivity to biotin, we recommend:

  • Consulting your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement

  • Considering a B5 supplement to help maintain balance
