No. In fact, L-Carnitine may actually support the reduction of acne. L-Carnitine helps to enhance the metabolism of fats and oils, which helps to reduce the excess sebum produces by the skin. Less sebum means acne-causing bacteria have less food, potentially assisting with the reduction of acne (Widrin, C. 2015).
