    I found arimidex helped mine well I was on.
    You could always run accutane after your cycle.
    It may be okay well on since you are not doing any orals.

    Accutane at low dosage (20-40mgs) for a little while, there are tons of acne medication out there. I am on Dorryx right now its a 3 month therapy no side effects just one pill a day.

    I can tell a difference in my back acne greatly (its been 1 month), but I still got a while to go.

    I take minomycin, even when not cycling. I've always been prone to acne, it seems to work.

    This is one of th best tricks in the book, but don't tell ANYONE!! OKAY!?? Go grab some industrial dish soap, and wash yourself with that using an exfoliating cloth everyday, and you will never have to worry about acne. Tanning is also a great trick.

    A-dex, accutane, are great.Accutane especially.Not cheap, but either is gear.Antibiotics can screw up your G.I. trac after awhile.( in some people).Everyone is different.I would run accutane 20 mgs ed with tamo at 10 mgs ed.

    Not that I am promoting giving out such confidential information, but I also find that using a wet fine grit sandpaper (start with 600 grit and work your way to 1500 grit -- you can find these at automotive supply stores) while showering yourself with the industrial dish soap will help to exfoliate all your dead skin cells, along with a few living ones. Just make sure that you go back and forth, and not in a circular motion.

    Lol grit paper is pretty extreme and wont be good for people who have sensitive skin, an exfoliating cloth works just as well without the irritation.

    1. Take 2 or 3 showers , wash cloth and dial . Loffa back scrubber good .
    2. Tanning
    3. A few specialty shops for woman have mudpack type facial applications .
    Use these type things on chest and back before shower to exfoliate .

    That is exactly what I did. I started on 20 mg Accutane for just a week or so, then down to 10 mg, and my acne disappeared. And my acne had gotten REALLY bad on the cycle...I was scared it would leave pretty bad scars. Plus, my face had gotten as oily as a pepperoni pizza. The low dose accutane has solved the problem 100%.

    I'm not on any orals, only taking test 400-500 mg/wk. So I think it's safe right?

    Dish soap helps. As well as I use alcohol to keep the skin dried out. i'm Italian so I have oily skin... keep it nice and dry.

    I call bullshit... why the hell would you use sand paper.... and not like a loofa? 1500 grit is like paper..... and 600 grit.. isn't that bad... but why would u have to work your way up to 1500? So you get no fine scratches? Do you crack the buffer out too when your done?

    Iv had problems with acne since hitting puberty nearly 10years ago.

    Had all the meds (except accutane-thats some nasty shit and 2 of my mates became suicidal taking it)

    The thing about acne is, to stop it you have to go to the source which is under the skin at the sweat glands. Using these creams etc are a solution to the problem - or try to be anyway- but you'l always be chasing the problem.

    The only thing bar accutane that has been successful for me is a product called SKINOREN CREAM which is azelic acid. But, again its just chasing the problem.

    Accutane scared the shit clean out of me seeing the effect it had on my friends. Im glad so many ppl can run it without these effects.

    In future, you do not need 2 threads.



    Acne can be caused by a wide range of factors.

    Estrogen - So use an AI. I think thats paramount when using compounds that aromotase.

    Androgenic compounds - So stay away from them, or use them at small doses. Tren , Dbol , Anadrol

    DHT - DHT can also be a contributing factor for acne. So use small doses or stay away from DHT-derivatives. You may also have luck with Finastride.

    Accutane - Accutane (Isotretinoin) is the best weapon against acne. But its fairly hepatoxic. Get BW done when combining it with 17aa's and stay out of the sun when you can. But it will help prevent a breakout when cycling. I've read many reports on it.

    So...Use an AI, stay away form certain compounds and use small doses when you can. Use Accutane if you NEED to. Not if you THINK you'll need it. The majority of AAS users are fine, but some are genetically predisposed (like myself).

    Swifto, can you tell me why you need to stay out of sun with accutane? Hyperpigmentation?

    Thanks.
