    apple cider vinegar (acne)

    i just noticed today both of my wrists heavily covered in acne and a bit on my shoulders. Shit, I finally look good, but can't show it off and have to wear long sleeves.
    How quickly will the apple cider vinegar take affect and also since its absorbed by your skin does it produce any sort of body odor.

    i would hesitate to rely solely on the apple cider vinegar. much of the history of ACV comes from The Bible and is not based on much scientific evidence. I did quite a bit of reading up on ACV after hearing Sly Stallone recommend it, but I found the "proof" to be lacking. Actually, my sister was trying ACV just recently to alleviate her acne and it didn't have any affect on it whatsoever. She ended up using Proactiv which seems to help if you use it for long enough. You can try ACV, but I would recommed some over the counter acne medicine instead.

    umm ACV works, and this is speaking from experience. Often what i like to do in the morning when i wash my face, i wash my face with clearsil mixed with baking soda powder and yo let it sit on your face for 2 minutes. The baking soda is a base, so after you wash your face off you then take ACV and put it on a cottonball and then wipe your face with it. Let it sit on for 10 minutes (it will dry) then wash your face once more with water to neutralize ur skin. good luck shit is bomb for evening up acne marks.

    Dude, see a dermatologist. One prescriptions of Minicycline will know that shit out - from your whole body. I hear all these other remedys but quite frankly, meds for acne have come a long way. My doc told me that no one should suffer with acne with today's medicines. Minicycline cleared my pimply son's face up in a week and he had super craters! Good luck.

    fuk yea... ive been on mino for a year now 2 caps every day... shit works miracles...

    i used to cycle then when i went into pct without mino i broke out soo bad i wanted to kill myself.. literally. now with the mino i get like one maybe two pimples at a time that are small and VERY easy to deal with.

    go get a script. remember that acne is coming from the hormone problems inside so you should be fighting it from the inside. not the outside.

    apple cider vinegar is the shiznit for acne ! When I was on pct my face, chest and bacne was building up and in a week it slowed down especially chest and bacne is pretty much gone ! Face you know the ones that keep coming back on the same spot and wont go away after you pop it well those slowed down and dont have that bothering swelling feeling ! I take 3 table spoon in the morning and 2 before bedtime tastes nasty but swig it up ! its golden trust me and alot of other benefits lowers cholesterol ,lose bf etc !

    get some accutane (isotretinoin)...that stuff is THE SHIT..took it when i was in high school..i had mild acne, nothing really bad, and the accutane pretty much killed it...FOR GOOD..now, when i am off cycle, i get a pimple maybe once a month or so, and its usually small..on cycle/pct, i get maybe 1 every 2 wks, and it is also small..my face used to always be oily, but that stopped after Tx w accutane..now, my face is so dry, washing it and using cleansers only hurts my skin..so now, i dont have to wash my face, EVER..i just use a very mild dove face lotion and my skin is perfect

    forgot to mention that some research chem sites sell it..getting a Rx is pretty expensive for that stuff...i also heard they were trying to take it off the market, but dont know what happened..it's very harsh, and there are a lot of sides..you should see the insert that comes w the Rx, it's like a novel

    made an appointment to see dermatologist, i need something strong to get all that nasty shit off my skin quick and start flashing them guns. I will update this thread as soon as i get a prescription because primarily my wrists are so nasty to look at, even for me not only i hide it from others, but i don't want to see that shit myself.
    I'll also get a bottle of ACV at the grocery store tomorrow.

    I don't think I have heard of wrist acne - that has to be a bitch.

    here was my routine. my first cycle was 1500mg testE for 17 weeks no PCT... IMAGINE the acne i had from that

    wash your face 2 times a day with a gentle face wash like neutrogena. then after apply a facial moisturizer ( ones with salicylic acid in them work best) then after that apply a benzoyl Peroxide product. i use a tinted one so my face isnt all white during the day. look for tinted. do this when you wake up and when you go to bed for about 4 days then start doing it 3 times a day when your face has gotten used to the benzoyl peroxide. wake up, middle of the day (i usuualy do it after the gym), then again right before bed.

    The Benzoyl Peroxide will dry this shit out of yoru face if you dont use a facial moisturizer. make sure its made for the face though becasue the other ones will clog your pours. on top of this you can throw in like 5g of vitamin b5. spluit the dose throughout the day. works wonders... youll see this works pretty well...

    then theres always a script

    hope this helps guys

    Made an appointment to see the Doc. and they are all booked so the earlieast i got was August 3rd. Looks like two more weeks of me wearing long sleeves in 100+ degree temperature. WTF, i feel like my cycle is going to waste with me not able to showoff my body which is the whole purpose of this transformation.

    To clarify,
    I DO NOT have any acne on my FACE, back, chest, well at least not yet, Its all on my wrists and a bit on delts, but primarily wrists.

    I am going to give ACV a try starting tomorrow since it can't hurt, and also i am starting my tabs 40mgs a day (mid cycle) which will likely produce more acne. I have never been prone to it even as a kid and look at that shit now.
