Is there a specific brand of myo-inositol you use? I've had a terrible acne problem for the last two years.

Are you on anything specifically for your PCOS? Try myo-inositol. From what I read it lowers testosterone in your blood. One of the main causes. I recently was of it for a couple weeks due to finances. Before I stoped taking it my skin was pretty clear. About two weeks after my aches cane bsck. I'm back on the myo-inositol and it seems to be clearing my face back up
