If you have acne-prone-skin, hands off the peanut butter!
Peanut butter is an androgenic food, which is known to influence testosterone in certain individuals. Higher testosterone levels are associated with the enzyme, 5-alpha reductase, which causes sebum to be thick and sticky - kinda like peanut butter. Thick and sticky sebum tends to get trapped in the follicles leading to breakouts.
Almond butter is a great alternative, and it will not affect testosterone levels. For the healthiest, skin-friendly almond butter, the ingredient should read: Almonds. That's it!
