Acne

There's a pile options for sure (orals, topicals, vitamins, prescription drugs, non-prescription, etc):

• Benzoyl peroxide, such as Brevoxyl or Triaz.
• Salicylic acid, such as Propa pH or Stridex.
• Topical and oral antibiotics, such as clindamycin, doxycycline, erythromycin, and tetracycline.
• Topical retinoid medicines, such as tretinoin (Retin-A), adapalene (Differin), and tazarotene (Tazorac).
• Azelaic acid, such as Azelex, a topical cream.
• Isotretinoin, an oral retinoid.
• Low-dose birth control pills that contain estrogen (such as Estrostep, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, or Yaz), which work well on moderate acne in women and for premenstrual flare-ups.
• Androgen blockers, such as spironolactone. Androgen blockers can be useful in treating acne. These medicines decrease the amount of sebum (oil) made in your pores.

The list goes on and on man. I'm trying some head and shoulders shampoo right now on my back because some people give it great reviews for fighting bacne.
Just pick something that you might want to try and give it a whirl.
Like I said earlier though, once you start messing with your hormones there are no guarantees for clear skin.

Thanks man for all the suggestions. I will be looking into it.

I have actually taken clindamycin before. It worked pretty good I would say. Cleared me up. Need prescription for it though

I was taking a Pro Hormone at the time, so I'm sure that it was contributing to my back acne. I was just wondering if there is anything I can take along with a cycle to prevent acne. The Pro Hormone was made by Pharma War. It was called War hammer Anabolic stack 2

Honestly most of the creams like benzoyl peroxide or over the counter treatments do little to nothing for cystic acne if its hormonal. Sure, there are some people which it will help but the only real way to "prevent" it would be roaccutane/accutane.
20mg e/d and if you start breaking out use 40mg e/d. At this dosage you'll have almost no sides besides maybe dry lips at 40mg but everyone's different so keep that in mind. Also it may damage your liver so I'd advise not running an oral with it unless you're getting check ups at least once a month and want to risk it.

I started accutane about 2 weeks ago and haven't had a single pimple since. I'm only on week 2 of my cycle but I had moderate acne before even starting this cycle. After my last sustanon run I broke out pretty bad on my chest and neck area. The only sides ive been getting is dry lips. Burt's bees is the best for that. Accutane is the shit just make sure your liver is good and dont drink or take any orals while on it.

 

[BigNick002]

how did you get accutane when doing aas? I tried getting it a couple years ago and they said my liver enzymes were too high? I wasnt even doing any aas, just drinking and taking creatine....

 

[cdusgk91]

@BigNick002 I bought it from an online source no script needed. I made sure to get bloods before starting it to make sure my liver was fine. I will get bloods again in a couple weeks to make sure its not doing any damage. Drinking was probably the cause of your liver values I'm sure alcohol is the same or even worse than accutane on your liver but I'm not a Dr .. The accutane is working wonders on me though I was nervous I might get the "initial breakout" people talk about. But not one pimple since starting its great

I just got it from my dealer, it was actually roaccutane but it's the same thing. It's widely available online from black market sources just make sure it's legit.
Yeh before you start using it with a prescription I've heard doctors make patients go in for blood work to determine if it's safe for the individual or not. At 20mg a day I daresay you won't have any problems if you don't run any orals with it but I'm no doctor. Most of the teens running it for severe acne do 80mg I belive. Anyway, just stop drinking alcohol for a couple weeks and check if that's the problem

Thanks for the advice bro

[OA] Guidelines Of Care For The Management Of Acne Vulgaris

Acne is one of the most common disorders treated by dermatologists and other health care providers. While it most often affects adolescents, it is not uncommon in adults and can also be seen in children.

This evidence-based guideline addresses important clinical questions that arise in its management. Issues from grading of acne to the topical and systemic management of the disease are reviewed. Suggestions on use are provided based on available evidence.

Tea tree oil has proven more effective for me than anything else, even after seeing a dermatologist. Wash with a tea tree oil soap, then use 100% tea tree essential oil as spot treatment after you dry off.

That's one of those things that works for some but the majority get no benefit. Have you run accutane before and if so did it not clear you up?

 

[Kobrah]

Can you explain what was harsh about it? I do know it messes with lipids and possibly slows down the HPTA, but I've never heard of anyone explain why it's so harsh besides the fact that it dries skin out (but that's how it works).

You can go bald if you use it too much man

What dosage are you on? I am planning to get on accutane at low dose, thinking around 20mg EOD. Reason being I know I will breakout when I transition from blast to cruise. Also I have a few blackheads lingering around on my shoulders and chest from AI rebound which I hope the accutane gets rid of.

 

[cdusgk91]

I'm taking 40mg a day but I'm going to try 20 because 40 is pretty rough. If I were you id try your 20EOD and if it doesn't work then move up from there. Or 10mg/ day I dint think id want to skip days and not take it. Just my opinion though I'm no Dr

Yeah I was thinking of just splitting up the dosage to 10mg a day instead of 20mg EOD. But I have read from a lot of places 20mg EOD did wonders and basically no sides.

 

[cdusgk91]

Are you going to a Dr to get it or buying elsewhere? @Nat2Syn

UGL, should be here in a few days and I will take it right away. I am actually excited lol.

If this works out well maybe I will actually add another compound in my next blast instead of just sticking to Test-E. Like Tren

 

[johntt44]

I'm taking Superdrol at 30mg a day with trt test dosage. I'm about 2 wks in and just started breaking out on my face basically where my facial hair grows. Ive taken tren,mast, and test and didn't get a single pimple but Superdrol makes me breakout?

At 20mg e/d I had no sides, at 40mg my lips were dry and skin needed the occasional moisturiser.
At 10mg e/d you shouldn't experience any sides, most sources only sell 20mg caps though so it's easier to just run 20 eod and see if that helps and if not just up it to e/d. Try get your hands on the brand Roche as it's the one derms prescribe to patients
Good luck
