Isotretinoinum/ acutane.

[Jaesteel]

Im 2 weeks in on my cycle and wanted to start Acutane just to limit or prevent any breakouts. Any feedback? When to start taking it? and how much? The pills I have are 20mg.

10mg twice a day, I’d also recommend not taking any orals while using accutane.. Due you tend to breakout? Make sure you keep your estrogen in range definitely helps prevent breakouts

 

[Jaesteel]

I have broke out in the past. Im taking an estrogen blocker as well thats oral.

 

[Battousai]

Just take the 20mg you have once a day. If you start breaking out, 2x a day

Do you get bloodwork to see what your estrogen is on cycle?

Good call thinking ahead about breakouts! I'm interested to see what others suggest from their experience.

Accutane is like poison bro, I’d avoid it unless absolutely necessary. Wouldn’t just run it incase of breakouts. Either use it correctly and never need it again or not at all. Most of the acne can be controlled by keeping estrogen in range.

I hate accutane. One of the worst drugs on Earth but it is effective.

I went on it early 2000s before anyone knew all the sides and that is what made me go bald, not steroids. 30 days is all it took

Stay mega low dose. Keep your diet clean as this can make triglyceride levels dangerously high. Steer clear of all fats, eat very clean. Also stay out of the sun. Use a light moisturizer on your body at night before bed, because it can dry skin out badly. Also hydrate mega well.


I use sun and salt options for my clients, that is the protocol i designed that works mega well You either go into the ocean daily and then at night exfoliate lightly, and put on moisturizer and tan 2-3x a week for 5-10mins. If you can't access the ocean, buy a huge bag of dead sea salt off ebay and add 1 full cup to hot water in a bath and soak for 20-30mins each night while lightly exfoliating

Any time you sweat, immediately shower and change clothes. Your pores can clog with oils and that is part of the reason on cycle acne worsens.

Trust me on this, use it short term. Its totally toxic and can cause depression, anxiety and paranoia.

It works, but it is probably the most brutal compound I can think of besides Chemotherapy. It was ranked in the top 3 drugs people committ suicide on.

When I was on it, I would take a dose and within 1 hour I was totally depressed and miserable.

I'd never ever use it again myself under any circumstances. I also won't use tren , insulin or dnp. Put it that way.

My acne is usually bacteria and I need antibiotics for it.

Clears it up immediately.

Have
to cycle it however which is a little annoying but clear skin worth, and luckily it's concentrated on my chest.

Idk how some people do it it's very painful acne.

I’ve gone the antibiotic route didn’t work for me. I did end up using Accutane, hated that at I had to but glad I did.

Took me forever to figure out if it was hormone or bacteria based.

But my e2 was in range so tried antibiotic and worked.
