Hi guys, i wanna ask you about ance while cycling. How do you manage that? Generally I really take care of my hygiene, diet and blood tests, but there are still some issues with my skin. I take only test, no dht derivatives. In my country (Austria) some people recommend taking acetyl-L-carnitine 250mg and wit. b5 750mg 3 times a day. Have you ever heard about these supplements in terms of getting rid of acne? What are your tips for such problem? Best regards.

Unfortunately if you are prone to acne, it will continue to happen. Same with male pattern baldness. Not trying to be negative. All the OTC stuff might lessen things 10% at best. Go to a doctor, preferably a dermatologist and tell the truth about the Test usage. That's how I learned about Propecia back in the day which I knew nothing about. That probably saved my hairline for 10 years and probably would've kept saving it if I wasn't stupid enough to use Masteron multiple times a few years ago which did destroy my hairline.

I am the last guy to tell someone to go to a doctor for answers. A doctor was responsible for my wife's death 7 months ago. Unfortunately, we encountered the worst doctor we could but many are actually decent. Good luck

This is a really good write up about acne. If you’re really prone to bad acne and you can’t get it under control then you can bite the bullet and use accutane. I believe a member here recently ran a log using PSL accutane and had good results.

As someone who’s had acne even before running gear, I recommend accutane. If that’s a no go, I use Zinc and Niacinimide with Benzoyl Peroxide.

Just keep your skin clean. Don’t go to the gym and go home and do chores, shower as soon as you get in.

Some acne sides can be minimized with stable blood levels of the hormone, no fluctuations.

I agree, if your prone to acne its going to happen. Somethings that helped me were cold showers and vitamin D.

Sorry about your wife. Doctors killed my Dad a few years back. Stay strong bro.

I was getting bad acne on every single cycle and everything I tried would eventually stop working and it would come back. PSL was generous enough to let me test their Acutane and it’s been a life saver. I have been taking 20mg a day for about 70 days and I have zero acne and I am still in cycle. At the low dose I had low side effects ( only dry lips and skin). I would recommend it to anyone if you are gonna be in this game for an extended period of time. One treatment and it’s gone for life, not a constant fight with different methods that eventually stop working. Hit up PSL. They have a great product with a great price.

is it safe to take accutane while taking blasting gear?

I had bad acne as a teen and my skin has actually cleared up. Now is that due to eating cleaner, exercising, and taking supps once I got on steroids? Probably. I also shower with natural soap cause my skin dries out easily.

It’s not something you take orally. It’s like a cream you put on your face. It’s usually a clear liquid. I do it AM and PM. You find it on Amazon or any store that carries skincare products.

Having an ex gf that was a nurse/assistant in a dermatologist office, you need to be very careful with your skin. basically a good clean soap (dove) a body wash with salic acid, and a spot treatment is all you should use. don't mess up your ph

oh what dose of DHEA? didn't realize that improved libido
25mgs in the morning. It improves libido for me since it keeps estrogen higher. Using actual injectable estrogen would be even better (I'll do this at some point, I'm just lazy rn)

Gotcha, so you're a fan of no test cycles? Does no test also prevent estrogenic symptoms like gyno as it did with ur acne?

I don't aromatize much so I've never had gyno or anything. I'm pretty low BF as well.

I don't have anything against test, my body just personally doesn't agree with it. I can't get a good nights sleep for the life of me if I use any amount of test (longer esters = worse).

100 test a week for example completely ruins my sleep where 100 tren doesn't do anything but give me vivid nightmares for a week lol. 0 clue about the mechanism on that it's just my body i guess. Tried SSRI's, blocking adrenaline etc. Nothing. Only dropping test entirely works (also clears up my skin wonderfully lol)
