more AAS, less acne...?

**eL FriJolerO** · 04-06-2006, 10:39 PM

Hey guys, has anyone had the experience of going on a cycle and all of the sudden the little or much acne that you have goes away, and once cycle is done, the acne returns??? Weird, i know, but this is my case and just wanted to know if there's someone out there who shares my exp. It's almost as if the AAS acted as accutane or something...!? Anyone???

I think my acne is going away also. I ever went the dermatologist but havent used the prescription yet, because it seems to be drying up and going away.

I seem to get the worst acne during pct, during cycle my skin seems healthier overall

Fluxuation of hormones... I had acne real bad when hitting around 700mg of tren with a gram of test. Stopped the tren... acne went away.

My friend went on a test e cycle a while bak and says that during the cycle his back and facial acne dissapeared!.............but returned after cycle

maybe because your hormones are more stable when they are being regulated from an exogenous source...then when that source disappears your body is struggling and blood levels are all over the place

Hey guys,
Just curious, you guys whose acne is clearing up on gear, are you running arimidex ?
This is my third cycle, but the first where I'm using 1mg/day arimidex and it is the first time my back and shoulders are clear (I've always had acne even before i started cycling). There has been some talk lately that estrogen is the cause of acne and I believe it now. I think after I'm done with my cycle I will continue with the arimidex but at .5mg E2D.

I have a little theory on acne for PCT...It was an idea form another memeber. Cant remember their name.

If elevated estrogen is if often the cause of acne. There are other factors, such as reaction to various compounds, like Meso outlined about the Tren issue. But, if your acne prone it would be wise to eliminate estrogen as best you can. If you get acne during PCT, then this is for you. I'm planning on trying this for my upcoming PCT. During PCT, if acne prone, ALWAYS run an AI. A powerful one at that. Letro/Arimidex /Aromasin . Letrom even at a low dose would be a wise idea as its so effective at lowering estrogen levels (98%). Or a higher dose than usual of Arimidex/Aromasin. Obviously we dont want to totally elimiinate all estrogen, but lower as best you can.

My PCT consists of HCG /Nolva/Proviron . Proviron will bind to the aromotase enzyme lowering estrogen. But, not nearly as well as Letro. I'm considring running a low dose of Letro 0.25-0.5mg/ED for the length of my PCT to see if acne, this time, doesnt show its ugly head. You could also do this with other AI's at a higher dose than usual.

If using Letro, be sure to run it for 3-5 weeks before your PCT so you can attain stable blood plasma concentrations, ready for PCT.

Like always, running an AI at high doses means an estrogen rebound can occur. So be sure to taper the AI off or run a low dose of Nolva for 2-3 weeks after ending the AI. I've laid out an example of how I'll include Letro into my PCT:

wk 1-3 HCG 1000ius/ED (Mon/Wed/Fri)
wk 1-5 Nolva 20mg/ED
wk 1-7 Proviron 50mg/ED
wk 1-5 Letro 0.5-1.0mg/ED (Taper down and include Nolva for 2 weeks after)
wk 5-7 Nolva 10mg/ED

Letro is started 3-5 weeks prior to PCT.

Runing Letro with Nolva isnt optimal, I know, but if it eliminates the acne for PCT, I'm not bothered. This may work for some and not others.

sounds interesting Swifto, i'll keep it in mind, thx

It's called the rebound effect. Very strange phenomenon I must say.

**LatinoPR** · 04-10-2006, 08:26 PM

Anadrol srcrew my back with acne...i hate it but i like the gains with Anadrol !

**Testostack** · 04-12-2006, 04:43 PM

Can't have just the positive side....and some are prone to it, other less, and few ain't, that ain't faire for us

**ace ventura** · 04-12-2006, 06:46 PM

The reason acne clear up during cycle is because the hormones are more stable. Even though the androgen levels are higher the levels dont go up and down. Im very prone to acne myself and I think much of the reason is because mye hormones are not stable. I also find clean diet and regular sleep rutines important to keep acne problem under controll.

Another tip is to drink a glas of water before you eat in the morning and also eat a carrot. Eat 2-3 carrots everyday. I really believe this do something good to the skin.
