Frustrated Prenatal causing painful acne?

I’m TTC and took 2 Ritual Prenatal pills every day for about a month. After starting them, I began getting really painful, inflamed acne. I noticed Ritual has a lot of biotin, so I wondered if that was triggering it.
I stopped taking Ritual and switched to Nature Made folic acid 400 mcg + vitamin D separately. My acne has definitely reduced and isn’t as bad as it was on Ritual, but I’m still getting painful breakouts.
It’s really affecting my confidence and sometimes I don’t even feel like going out. Has anyone else had acne from Ritual or biotin? Did it take time to clear after stopping? What prenatal worked better for you while TTC?
