I heard that glutamine actually helps "gut related" acne because it strengthens the tissues of the intestines and heals leaky gut (which causes acne)

I take free-form glutamine for sugar cravings and healing my leaky gut. I did extensive research on it before starting to make sure it wouldn't negatively affect my skin.

 

As far as I can find, most of the negative posts on the internet seem to be on bodybuilding forums since it's so often taken for muscle recovery. The one common pattern I noticed though among all the people who were breaking out from glutamine was that they were taking theirs in the form of a protein shake of some sort that contained whey--which yes, will absolutely break most people out. It's just a very common precursor to inflammation.

 

So I would recommend that if you do take it, be sure to take it in its free-form state and not in conjunction with whey protein.
