Acne side affect.. Never again!

[bunkka]

I'm wondering if there is a good alternative to Test (Enanthate, in particular) in regards to keeping your libido while on.

I've only run Test Enan, but understand that Prop may have a lower frequency of this nasty side affect.

I'm wanting to add something into my next cycle of:

EQ - 200mg Twice/Week 1-10
Fina - 75mg EOD 3-11
Winny - 75mg EOD 4-12

Help me with my libido and my skin!!!!

i've not done a cycle yet that didn't include some acne, it's not been alot but it's been there..usually on my back or shoulders.

For the most part, acne is a result of fluctuating hormone levels. The more steady you keep your test levels, the less your acne should be.

With this in mind, more frequent injections will produce steadier levels of test in the blood, resulting in less pronounced sides. I can tell a difference between ed and eod with sides when using prop, as well as tren, so I stick w/ ed. If I were going to run the drugs you listed, and was going to add test for libido, I would pick prop, and combine it with the tren and winny for one shot ed.

50mgprop/37.5tren/37.5winny. On EQ day, add it to the mix. You would be inj. 1.5-2.5cc in one shot, assuming your EQ is 200mg/ml

If you are highly prone to acne, then this might not make a difference. Everyone reacts differently.

Proviron is supposed to be good for libido, though I have yet to use it, so cannnot comment on its effectiveness.

Good luck.

acne is also genetic.....some ppl dont get it while a gram of test a week and swollowing d bols like candy. and some ppl get from no juice and some ppl may get it from an amp ever ten days......just a genetic thing

Exactly....i wish more people would understand that, and not blame it on "dirty gear"

I have never seen acne blamed on dirty gear; that's just silly.

Test prop gave me bad acne both times I used it. My first cycle used test prop at 50 mg ed and my second used it at 75 mg ed; bad acne both times. I too am done with test. Actually, I am done with all of it but I had decided to never run test again even before I made the decision to swear off all gear. I can't stand the acne.

 

[hardrock]

I've had a few pimples from juice in the past, but nothing like I have now. All my past cycles with short acting AAS (prop, winy, tren) were shot ED, and my longer acting choices (sust, enan, deca, eq) were shot EOD. This last cycle I ran fina/prop/winny EOD and broke out like crazy. I'm talking big hard nasty acne. At first I chalked it up to dirty gear, but upon futher thought, the inconsistant blood levels makes alot of sense. I am on some acne meds from the doc now, and will try to aviod making the same mistake next time. Lesson learned!

I agree... The most acne free cycle I did was tren/EQ/Winny.... one of the worst was tren/prop. Basically anything with high levels of test and I am screwed.

"Changes in the skin- The skin is the largest organ on the body and the most sensitive area for side effects, especially for women. The most apparent effects are the pores becoming larger which makes the skin very rough. This process is named virilization and once this has occurred the result is irreversible. Another huge problem is acne. Steroids can cause acne even if the person has had no prior problems. Once again females are more prone to acne because of various factors. The back and face are the worst areas that the acne will become evident. Other prominent effects are stretch marks. These develop from the rapid growth of muscles rather than the steroids themselves."

Blah, blah, blah.

Let me get my camera and I'll show ya'll what acne's all about baby

personally, I have to stay away from dianabol, but fine with everything else.

If testosterone gives you acne you'll get it regardless of which ester you use. Enanthate, Cypionate, Propinate - they'll all the same thing once released from the ester.

If you're looking for an alternative for libido purposes try Proviron at 25 or 50mgs/ED. It works great, although there is a possibility that Proviron may give you acne also.

if it is that bad.....go on the accutane???

 

[swampmoose]

Tiger, thanks for your concern bro,

basically, its almost cleared up, but I definetly underestimated my androgen usage plus the humidity here in North Carolina isnt helping either. I have always had a problem with it so i just need to be careful what I do. If i ever have it like this again, trust me its accutane all the way. later bro.

[swampmoose]

do you think mild dosages will get good results?
I seen my bro on it and it put a hurtin' on him, skin was peeling and dry and cracky, I just dont want to go through that

5000mgs of B-5 started 1 week before, throughout and for a couple weeks after a cycle pretty much eliminated acne for me.

JOKER, thats what i've been taking. I take 1000mgs all throughout the day and its been about 3 weeks and starting to get decent results.

Cool.

I didn't notice a difference until I upped it to 5000mgs. But I also have naturally oily skin which doesn't help. Nice that you've got it workin' at 1000mgs.

well before i even juiced i had zits and tried it all.....for b5 to work u need to TAKE A FUCKING LOT......i tired 500 mg x 10 pills a day
ya 5 GRAMS a day.....i read a study on b5 and acne and u need tk tyake alot more then u think so i took a shitload.....as for accutane.....well the dose is determined by your wiegght......i took 120 mg a day for about 4 months and i clear not to long into the 2nd -3rd month....as for peeling goes.....well u need to use lotion alot and chapstick.......i didnt really get any sides but chap lips,......a little chap stick will fix that

Absolutely.

If I am on a highly androgenous cycle during the summer I like to run 60mg/day. Results in perfect skin for me. I don't see any reason to go higher than that for prevention. For someone who already has bad acne, this may not apply, and higher dosages may be warrented. The most "dry" sides I get are the back of the arm above the elbow, and lips. Lotion and moisturizing chap stick take care of it completely.

I run 40mg for three weeks per cycle. 60mg during cycle, then drop back to 40mg for 6 weeks post cycle.

Knowing the effects of accutane on the liver and lipid profiles, I try not to make a habbit of this.

1) in another context, I read that accutane permanently shrinks sebaceous glands and apparant pore size (ie you get smoother skin). didi you find this to be the case?

2) in general, does test usually cause PERMANENT pore size enlargment?

did the B5 stop the pore enlargement as well?
