    Ive never had a problem with acne but alot of my friends have, and they have tried everything possible to cure the problem and i can honestly say nothing has been successfull, alot of the compounds they have used have eased the symptoms but nothing as totally cleared them up, is there anyone who as totally cleared the acne up with a certain compound?

    Nice theory Swift but it only covers one half of the problem. DHT and strong androgens in genaral cause acne as well.

    I am using Pro-activ now. First my skin got a little worse, and then it cleard up ekstremely well. My face-skin is like a girls now.

    Using an AI in PCT is a good idea, not only to reduce estrogen-related acne. But it also seems that, when you lower your estrogen levels, the "Pituitary" will automatically start to produce more Testosterone. Probaly because the Testosterone-estrogen ratio is supposed to be on a certain level, so when estrogen gets to low, the "hypotalamus" will think that it has to produce more testosterone, so estrogen levels can get back in normal range.

    So would a DHT blocker then be the most appropiate for durring cycle to reduce the acne caused by the "DHT and strong androgens"??


    Then aromasin durring pct...

    Makes sence?

    Yes, any AI can be used. I just choose Letro as its the strongest at reducing estrogen and is easier to access than others.

    there has been alot of talk on AR lately about acne sides,and it seems that alot of bros are suffereing from it. So if there is anything that can reduce these sides, before they start, i think it can be beneficial to everyone

    Its doubtful, but, I would predict that 'some' can still get sides, like acne, from the less harsh androgens, Var/Primo.

    A DHT blocker could only work best with AAS that can be A5 reduced. Testosterone, boldenone, nandrolone.

    Trenbolone, methenolone, trestolone, oxandrolone and the other DHT derived and highly androgenic steroids are not affected by DHT blockers.

    Edit: Testosterone and an anti-E/DHT IMO is best for the have acne prone.

    Its doubtful you'll get sides like acne from the less harsh androgens, but a reality. They may occur, but very uncommon.

    so putting a DHT blocker is senseless in a test cycle?

    Swifto; Interesting thread. I've been thinking the same thing about AI and acne... It should work, dont you think..

    Do you believe in b5 vitamine? Ive used alot...cant relly tell if it worked or not. Very expensive vs effectiveness too. Im on accutane now.

    What did you say about boldenone and DHT .... bolden isnt much androgenic anyways, is it...

    Doing 500mg of test, and 500+mg of eq right now. Started this week.

    Swifto: Glad I could help bro. As for the PCT you have outlined...it looks great. I hope for everyone’s sake that it works as well in practice as it does in theory. Please keep us all posted on your sides during pct.

    Ace: B5 works pretty well at around 10g/day split up 5X a day. Results take a while to show and you must be consistent with dosing. I've found that it's less effective the second time around...but worth a shot none the less. And there are places online that sells B5 in powder form very cheap. Just do a search.

    Ok, so if you stated first that testosterone is not affected by dht blockers,
    then you said that a anti-e and dht blocker is good is you are acne prone....

    Could you clear this up bro? Because this is of high interest to me, and I was trying to figure it out. Thanx alot man we all apprecitate it

    What about antibiotics to cure / prevent the acne?
    It is bacteria that courses the acne, and the bacteria can grow due to the change of your skin (more fat e.g.).

    Sure, keep it clean, we have in the Netherlands "cleracil" a face tonic that works OK. Also some nizorol does wonders

    Proviron is an AI...but isnt it used for androgen replacement in men? or something to that effect?
    could it cause acne itself..i just started it for a halodrol pct..but sex drive is up but im starting to break out a little on my face which hasnt happened in a very long time

    could it be the proviron>??
