yeah try accutane if you can find it, its made by roche (prescription only). Your best bet of obtaining it would be from a UGL or powder source. It also goes by the name isoretinoin.

yeah..way expensive to get a Rx for, but fairly cheap when coming from powder source or research site...but it's worth every penny

Oral antibiotics, topical anti-bacterial cream/gel work best for me. I really like proactive too.

**big_tone** · 08-07-2006, 03:36 PM

nizoral shampoo and vitamin b-5.

that shit sucks compared to accutane..i have known 3 other people that took it, along w myself, and ALL of us are STILL pretty much acne free (i took it 7 yrs ago)

DO NOT USE ISOTRETINOIN + AS!

Its far to toxic. Bloodwork should be done every 4-5 weeks too.

I'm using Lymecyline which is beginning to dry up my acne now. I also use Nizoral shampoo and drink plenty of water and shower 3x per day. Use the Nizoral shampoo E2D and leave it on for 3-4 mins, then rinse off. It can irritate your skin with overuse.

High doses of Vit-C and Vit-B5 can also aid in combating acne.

You took Isotretinoin 7 years ago? Have you had acne since? Do you still run cycles and havent had it occur again at all?

**pdog80** · 08-07-2006, 03:46 PM

Proactive is crap. It won't do jack for acne. You can get some prescription creams like benza-clin and retin-a. That's the shit I use and the acne just goes on vacation and doesn't come back.

**italianplayboy09** · 08-07-2006, 03:48 PM

yea i used benza-clin before it worked well but i wasnt on a cycle when i used it, i got it from a prescription from a doctor. thats the only way to get it right?

yeah, i took it when i was 16..i'll be 23 next week..

i think its important to note that i never really had acne that bad, it was just annoying..and it was not cystic..im just vain and could not live w it..

occasionally i get acne (probobly 1-2 pimples every month) and they are not that bad..when i'm ON even the harshest of cycles w/tren , i'll get MAYBE 1 zit every 2 wks..and most of the time they are on my face..on or off i RARELY get any ance on my back/shoulders

i dont even wash my face anymore..it does more harm than good because it really dries my skin out..i put a mild face lotion on every day and that's all i need

the other people i know that took it dont do any aas, and they are still as acne free as i am (we all took it about the same time)

Thanks for the quck reply.

I've got aroung 300 20mg Tabs sitting here but I'm giving this antiboitics a shot first. Seems to be working a little but not enough. Going to give it another 4 weeks and if its still here is Isotretinoin Time!

**pdog80** · 08-07-2006, 03:52 PM

Yeah, benza-clin is prescription only but it works!!! Also, it won't f--- up your liver like accutane because it's topical cream.

**pumpd4lif** · 08-07-2006, 03:53 PM

bro if u dont use the acutane the next best thing is a solid tan my pimples leave insantly after tanning woot

beware that when you start the accutane, it's going to get worse before it gets better..but fear not, you will LOVE the results...and be prepared to put blistex on your lips about 10000000x a day as it really dries them out and makes them crack..accutane is harsh stuff, but perhaps that is why it works so well

**graeme87** · 08-07-2006, 03:53 PM

You GP can give you antibiotics for it, maybe post in the spa you might get some useful info in there

**fanatic** · 08-11-2006, 04:58 PM

Everyone is different but proactive worked for me. I use the first 2 steps they recommend and then use prescription anti-bac gel last. This with the antibiotic improved my acne by leaps and bounds.

**Anabolios** · 08-11-2006, 05:35 PM

Accutane was WELL worth it.

**elitetky** · 08-11-2006, 06:31 PM

accutane its exp drug but as mention worth every cent get it from doctor , its liver toxic too and i try all kinda antibotic family all 11 differents kinds of it doesnt work end up i have to use accutane which works!

**pdog80** · 08-11-2006, 06:39 PM

Hmm....would you rather take accutane which is known to be liver toxic, or would you rather put a prescription topical cream like benza-clin that's not liver toxic and works as well as accutane? Yeah, it's not rocket science.

**Coop77** · 08-11-2006, 08:37 PM

In my experience accutane takes about 3 months to start working. Also accutane is more serious medicine than a lot of people here seem to think. You really shouldn't take it unless your acne is severe. My dermatologist had me getting blood work done each month while on it.
