I'm sure this may have been asked but is this stack okay to use with your OTC weight loss protocol?

Thanks austinite!

I'm going to start this Acne Treatment Protocol Monday,Waiting on Panthothenic acid. I wish I would of read Your Educational Article Database a long time ago lol I read Your Fat Loss Protocol and will try it as soon as I'm done with this program. Thank You Austinite !!!

[Baxter35]

I just want to say thank you so much to Austinite for this advice. I was acne prone as a teenager, and since starting trt in Jan it all came back with a vengeance. Not my face thankfully, but backne like a mofo.. I'm about 4 weeks into this acne protocol now and holy shit it actually is working! It flared up worse for the first 2 weeks, but I stuck it out and can now see a dramatic difference in my existing acne drying up and fading and no new acne forming. If you suffer with acne this protocol is definitely worth trying!

[MRSTEEL]

AUSTIN- I followed the Acne program precisely just as You wrote out, My acne has cleared up on my face as well as my backne, I've always had acne even if I wasn't on a cycle stemming from childhood. I've been prescribed Solodyn for my acne from my Dermatoligist and that has helped clear me up 60% but not on my back and especially on my upper arms when doing a cycle. I want to point out that hair gel contacting the facial area will cause acne as well as dirty pillow cases so everyone make sure You change those pillow cases weekly if not more. Thanks Austin ! I will keep You posted on my up and coming weeks !

follow the exact protocol. Don't sub.

[Nij]

Is this protocol effective against pubertal acne?

[austinite]

Should help with any acne.

It's week 3 and my acne is flaring up. First 2 weeks I was seeing great results. Should I worry at all, or just keep at it?

its working.

I think im going to give this a try, ive been on trt now for almost 8 months its as if my skin is just getting to think for the pimples to push through. It takes me over a week some times to get rid of just 5-6 bumps between the shoulder and the middle of the back.

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

[austinite]

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.

[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.

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

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.

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.

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.

[Lifted1]

I've been using this for about 3 weeks and it hasn't seemed to help, at all. Taking the exact same recommended ingredients and it doesn't seem like it's doing anything. Any ideas?
