Hormones, Androgens and Acne

[RED26]

I recommend a 5% benzoyl Peroxide wash for the shower (made by clean and clear) and a 10% benzoyl peroxide cream for before bed and upon wakening (Made by ZapZyt)

the combination of the wash and cream REALLY dried out my back and arms. I never have the problem of oil production from dry skin so the dryer I get my skin..... the better it is for me.

Benzoyl Peroxide is quite mild for someone who has serious issues with acne.
I've used it as much as 4 times per day in combination with other skin cleansers, exfoliations, creams and antibiotics and NOTHING.
I've also used steroids sice the age of 17... Hence the big problem. There was one time after tren use that I had to use I.V. antibiotics every 6hrs to stop the evolution.

Altough It can be a good fix to everyone who has not so serious deal with this... (As with most people)

I wasn't recommending it inplace of accutane or any other treatment. Just as another option as it works pretty well for me and I was diagnosed with severe acne by the dermatologist.

What I find is some treatments work better for some than others.....

Salacilic acid
Benzoyl Peroxide
there's even a sulfur cream.....

Accutane works for everyone but the dose depends on each person. Also.... accutane works quicker for some than others. It seems to clear me up in about 2-3 weeks..... others..... 2 months......

Agreed. Everyone reacts differently to all medications, and nevertheless of the seriousness of the situation, one should start with something less dangerous, such as benzoil peoxide and see how that works for them.

It takes me all of ~7 days to start noticing the effects of accutane. And that's WITH a low-dose (10mg/ed). By the end of the first week my skin is visibly drier, oil glands in lips stop producing too by this time for me.

you are pretty lucky to see results like that.

i was on 40mg ed for almost 2 months before i was getting good results..
(i had it pretty severe acne though)

the dermatologist then put me up to 60mg ed for 2 months because i still wasn't completely clear

and i only have 1 month left on it.. she decided i would be fine for 80mg ed (my liver tests, triglycerides, blood pressure, and cholesterol are perfect too)

i think the side effects are honestly overrated.. the dryness is the only bad one

Thanks for posting this..... I've had quite a bit of resistance actually on how long it takes for accutane to work. Maybe me and you are the lucky ones.....
