    What AS's are not linked to acne? if any

    I know substances like Test are linked to acne. I was wondering if there is anything that is known for not causing acne?

    Less androgenic steroids=less acne, in most cases. But its mostly when you come off and your hormone system is un-steady that acne shows up.

    AS that dont aromotase at all to estrogen have been known to yield less acne than ones that do aromotase. Testosterone seems the be the main culprit, aswell as the more toxic AS, Tren comes to mind.

    A reaction to certain compounds, fluctutauing compounds (this is why many breakout during PCT), increased levels of estrogen and DHT all contribute to acne.

    I have acne on my back and my chest has got worse during PCT. Perosnally, I blame high levels of estrogen and fluctuating hormoes with mine. This is why I may try Test Prop next time, all the way through and a powerful AI, to keep estrogen levels low.

    Look into Nizoral shampoo, I;ve found this helps me greatly. Wash with it 2x per day for 3-5 days leaving it on for 35mins where the acne is. Then dont use it for another 3-5 days. It really can irritate ones skin and dry it out with over use.

    Other weapons against acne are Tetracycline, Lymecycline (which I'm on now) and the retnoid, vitiman A derivative, Isotretinion. I'll be using Isotretinion when I've finished PCT. Its a toxic compound that shouldnt be combined with ANY AS or PCT compounds IMO.
