follow the exact protocol. Don't sub.

[austinite]

Should help with any acne.

Keep in mind doses of over 25mg of zinc could lead to copper deficiency

this is not true at all.

[JinAustin]

Is it ok to stay on the higher dose of zinc? Acne is not improving

[austinite]

If this protocol did not work for you I would try something else. Not everyone will improve, but also, this doesn't work overnight. It takes time and because you're being cleansed from the inside out, it will get worse before it gets better.

[JinAustin]

Will stick with it for sure!
Haha those b5 caps go fast I've used two already.

[Kozmo]

It's either because I'm Italian or because I bathe in olive oil and garlic but I don't have. to worry about acne

Still a good read.
Austin you do good work

[biggamestop]

Thanks for the info.

What can I do about hyper-pigmentation? I have no more zits or bumps, but I have dark spots all over my face.

What can I do about hyper-pigmentation? I have no more zits or bumps, but I have dark spots all over my face.

If the hyperpigmentation is from the acne spots, there is a good chance it will go away in time as your skin cells turnover. In order to speed it up, you can use things like alpha and beta hydroxy acids, which will speed the removal of the dead skin cells on the surface of your skin.

I used to get blemishes before I realised I was hypothyroid, and I would spot treat the darker patches with those acids and it definitely lightened the spots quicker.

Whatever you do, don't disturb or pick at the skin in any way, or use a strong mechanical abrasive, because some skin responds to damage by increasing pigment, and some doesn't. If you get dark spots where you had blemishes, then you are likely a pigmenter and so you should be careful to not do any further damage.

Some people use things like hydroquinone or azelaic acid, but I have never been impressed enough with either to use instead of alpha/beta hydroxy acids.

[austinite]

Nothing can be done about hyper-pigmentation. Nothing that's OTC that I'm aware, or prescription.

Will tanning make it worse, or will it help to make is less noticeable? I've heard both sides.

[austinite]

Dark spots will get darker with tanning. So you're not really changing anything.

Well damn. Sounds like I am ****ed.

[austinite]

Well damn. Sounds like I am ****ed.

lol. I've had pigmentation for almost 20 years. Never managed to rid myself of it. There's always surgery/laser/etc...

[SOL!D5NAK3]

i'm in my pct now and there some are acne on my forehead and some on shoulders, not that much but it's annoying,anyways i have zinc sulfate and i could not get my hands on B5 yet.
can zinc sulfate alone help since my acne is not bad?

[austinite]

It might. Protocol is what's tested.

[dingobite]

First started this a few months ago had spots that i never knew would sprout in flares like the face or a crazy hair bump in a few spots that turned zit youd have to dig out of the body.

Over all im rid of my back acne for a few months now, i do still get shoulder spots which arent much a problem.


Ive tried the mineral as a kid as a kid it just make things much more painfull when you dont really have a acne problem trying to dry out the smallest spots had no clue ive tried this before on my own since that time.

Thanks.

The acne protocol works wonders. I wish I would have known of this when I was going through puberty with my embarrassing bacne. I showed this to my dermatologist and she seemed almost insulted by me questioning her concept of just over prescribing antibiotics every time I came in or doing cortisol shots on the large systic acne. I have gotten slight peeling skin on my nose. Is it because I am also using a face wash with this protocol twice a day?

Thanks for this information though. It actually did work!! and fast! I don't even see that slight glossy look on my face in the morning when I wake up.

[gengenetics]

Hi Austinite, im really looking forward to this protocol, im just finishing up with acutane and will use this protocol to keep it at bay.

i just have 1 question.

you say to use 50-100mg of zinc picolinate.

the products ive been looking at have say a 100mg tablet, but in that 100mg only 25mg is zinc picolinate....should i be focusing on the amount of pure zinc? meaning take 4 tablets?

Though its not following the protocol to a T. I still got amazing results using zinc I purchased in the vitamin section at wal-mart. I believe they sell zinc gluconate. I got it for around 6 bucks.

[ronoznofing]

Aight! I probably cocked this all up but my pine sap whatever just came from Powder City (I hope you get a kickback from them Aust). I was surprised to see that in the stack. All of the other research I'd seen previously on it was as a natty test boost.

Great thing about this is I did the unthinkable. Went on vacation and missed a weeks dose... BAM. What had been perfectly clear skin (covering a pretty badass roadmap I might add) now lives under cover of a shirt 24/7. WTF.

I had zinc/copper lozenges on hand so I started that a week ago. Tomorrow I'll get going on the whole stack. I'll try to post some extra nasty progress shots too.

Thanks Austinite! Wish a padawan luck.

[FFrhino]

Going to try this,, thanks for the great info brother.

Would this B5 supp work ok? (Only looking at it since the pills contain 1000mg but they have other ingredients as well) EDIT can't post links since I'm new. Its called "new roots B5 synergistic"
Also do you use any specific face washes or moisturizers on your face to keep a healthy oil balance at all or do you suggest not washing your face besides showering?

Thanks!

[CJWhy]

Hey austinite, for the pycnogenol did you use the ones in capsules (NOW brand for example), or some sort of topical cream?

[austinite]

Caps.

[austinite]

^ I would switch to something else. This may not work for everyone.

[Lifted1]

Gotcha. Thanks for the input brotha...I'm not even running that large of a blast compared to my trt dosage and backne has gotten outta control!

[usorillaz]

Hey Austinite, new to the site, was wondering if you still recommend this protocol or if you've found a much more optimal protocol for acne treatment since it has been years since you've posted this. Thanks brotha, really liking all the info and content you've posted.

[abhisingh0823]

hi,
my elder sister is going through this acne problem past many years. Can i suggest this treatment to her or it applies only to person on cycles??

[uhit]

Vitamin B5 powder tastes absolutely horrid...

Anyway to mask that taste? Feel like throwing up every time. Either mixing in water or just throwing it in my mouth. Maybe time to buy protein powder

[LeeSin1]

I was definitely deficient in zinc... I purchased the liquid zinc assay shiz, and if you were zinc deficient it would taste awful. it tasted pretty bad lol so I've been taking zinc ever since... Now liquid zinc assay tastes like water, I even gave it to some of my friends and they couldn't taste it so it was just me ha.

[PTROIDE]

this protocol works the same way to womans ?

[BRUTAL]

on week #3, dont know if it helps as much, maybe some but I must give 7+ more weeks to give it personal judge, so far I believe all as expected, thus BUMP to the top pages

Hi austinite,

After starting my first cycle of AAS at around week 5-6 when it started kicking in I got some pretty bad acne on my face and lats. The face is common for me as I have always been prone to adult acne (from naturally oily skin) and I have got it on my traps before but never like this on my lats.

I have all the stuff for this and have been doing my best to stick to the protocol, but am having issues with the B5.

Now didn't have B5 available on Amazon so I got bulk supplements brand.
Aside from the taste being horrible (and I can tolerate some nasty tasting shit) I have a bigger issue.
When I measure out the 5g of B5 powder and put in the water it sticks together and turns into a big ball of glop, for lack of a better word.

Have you or anyone else run into this, and have any solutions? No pun intended.

Thanks

I have used the Bulk Suppliments you speak of, they offer a variety of supps, they are now putting vitamin C in their B5 powder. I’ve been using Austinites brew for...wow... nearly 4 years. I basically run a low maintenance dose of the panothenic acid then if things gets bumpy (no pun intended) I double my dose for 3-4 days.
I must say, it’s easier for me to get some water in my mouth then throw back a scoop of powder then flush it down with more water. I try to do this without letting the powder smoosh and my mouth. Just down the hatch!!!
It’s been a while, hope all is well!

[austinite]

Try getting caps. You can cap them and swallow a pill instead. That will fix the taste issue as well.

[Ready2Rumble]

I will order some caps and try downing it with a gulp of water it as well while I wait for them to arrive.

Thank you both.
