    I use St.Ives Apricot Scrub. Works pretty well.

    Im in PCT also, and noticed increase in ance.


    But if you have above mild acne in general, see a dermotologist and get accutane.

    I wouild rather not go on accutane. my older sister did it and her face is flawless now but she gad rediculously dry skin for a while. and its harsh on the liver and i wanna run another cycle in another 8 weeks or so.... ill push through it and see what the deal is after my pct... I'll just wear hats

    I always get it in PCT. I guess its the estrogen and your natural test starting up.

    I'm afraid to say I have yet to find anything that works. Nizoral gets rid of excess oil, but doesn't do much else.

    The clomid is causing a rebound effect of your natural testosterone production, obviously this is good, the problem is acne. You may also want to take pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) up to 10 grams a day and you should start to see it clear up in a week.

    After being a vet of accutane and B-5, i'd personally would have never touched accutane and used B-5. Accutane had way to many sides.

    It's a b vitamin which is water soluable so you need to split the doses, any excess your body can't utilize you pee out.

    Yeah man on Clomid your gonna have to just suck it up.
    I'd advise using Nizoral, Pan Oxy, tanning, and clearasil ultra. that will be your best combatant

    Is there any other pct that wont make you break out as bad?

  16. #16
    i dont think so pct is pct. I always break out bad in pct, pantothenic acid helps alot though, i ran up to 15g split 3x/ day, also pan oxyl bar is good, or a cetaphil bar(for back/shoulders) tanning indeed dries them out just watch out for certain tanning lotions, they will make you break out worse, i had to find one that didn't make me break out. (get the .50 cent samples until u find one that works) drink more water than usual also helps clean everything out, stay away from junk food and sugar.. all this stuff worked for me... oh ya and if none of this works get out a torch and burn them off lol. jk
