I'm struggling with being really thin, almost underweight, and it's been tough because I really want to gain some weight. I've tried things like eating small meals and adding fruit juices, but nothing seems to work. I thought about using a mass gainer like Endura Mass, but every time I use stuff like that or even multivitamins, I get bad acne. I feel like using a mass gainer is my last option, but I'm worried about the acne coming back. Any advice on what I can do?

While mass gainers are an option, it's important to select the right type and ingredients that suit your body. Focus on whole food sources, consider low-acne-risk alternatives for supplements, and maintain good skincare to balance both weight gain and skin health. Consulting professionals for personalized plans is always a good idea.
