real deal accutane gel (ISOTREX) works well for me. dries my skin, but not in a really bad way. and i can apply it to my arms and face only.
Let me say this about Accutane, Chinaman's Accutane, and me.
I have always have had persistant acne. Meaning the fuckers always come back. I will typically do a 3-4 month course of real Accutane @ 40mg ED, come off, be fine for a months or 2 then start breaking out again. When Im on gear, I break out about 2 weeks after coming off the real accutane.
Now Ive recently decided to switch over the the CHinaman's Accutane for economic reasons. Im in week 4 of a heavy androgen cycle featuring Test/Eq/Fina. THis would normally make me break out bad. Ive been on the Chinamans accutane (for what s supposed ot be 40mg or 2 pills) for about 25 days now, and while I have gotten a few zits here and there, I am definitely not breakin gout the way I should If i wasnt on accutane at all.
Id say its definitely accutane (as nothing and I do mean NOTHING else works on my face, except accutane), and its definitely strong. May not quite be 20mg/pill, maybe 15mg/pill, but if it can do the trick on me, it will work fo ryou. Im definitely impressed with his accutane. Its a fine product.

Heys guys give Cleocin T a run you will be impressed.
I have absolutly 0 acne on my face, its baby smooth; yet my upper arms outside bicep part has annoying little bumps that look sort of like goosebumps, not traditional acne that preteens get, it's weird. tanning has helped about 50% though. i'm nowhere near as dark as most professional body builders are though, just been going to a tanning bed every week and a half with no oils or anything.
Anyone ever consider getting a really dark tan to get rid of acne? it REALLY does work, the darker you get the less acne you have. Forget the pharm's

Tanning is a a good way to get skin cancer.
A bro over at MassMonsterz is only 26 and has just been disgnosed with skin cancer, due his use of tanning beds.
Tanning will help acne initially, but then it could really aggrevate it. I am dark, I break out, I used ot do cable work, and would work under the sun all day. When summer came around, you better believe my skin felt looked and felt like shit from all the sun.
Tanning is bad news in my opinion. Most dermatologist will agree with me.

man, i have been on the accutane gel i mentioned almost two weeks now....and today my skin was SO dry! a whole layer of white dry skin. it was great. lol. then i put some aloe therapy shit on there i found at work. and it made the skin tone better. is it a bad thing to put aloe on your dried out skin? i mean after all it is the idea to dry it out, but it looks like shit all dry and like that. but if putting aloe on there makes it oily or counterprodutive or anything...i'd avoid it.
Acne is NOT caused by dirt or excess oil.
If you get a zit, and you have a dirty face, you will get your zit infected, and as result, make it even worse. But dirt and oil are not the direct cause of your acne. Its caused by dead skin cells clumping up together, and getting stuck in your pores. So when your body produces oil, and seceretes it through the skin, and is blocked by a glod of dead cells, it will get inflammed, if you pick at it, and infect it, i will get worse.
Noe Retin-A works by making skin cell unable to clump together, so they get washed out ouf your pores easily when your body produces oil.
Accutane stop oil production all together, so even though you have dead skin cells stuck in your pores, it wont be a problem because there is no oil coming from beneath the skin to push out the dead skin cells.
Anti-Biotics work by controlling the infection of yor acne. SO that the bumps dont get so red or inflammed.
Now Ive never heard of a real accutane gel. However, i know foreign pharmacies try to pass off Retin-A as accutane gel. Is this what you have? Accutane is Isotretinoin, and Retin-A is Tretinoin. Mind shooting me a PM telling me where I can find some this gel, bro?

Man tanning once a week at a low time period will not give you cancer, I guarentee it. Tanning is good for your skin as working out is good for your muscles, to an extent however. If you work your mucles too much you WILL get an injury, same with tanning. Working out in the sun for 10 hours a day in a hot climate will definatly make you a prime candidate for skin cancer. Once a week at 10-15 minutes will not. Well depends on your skin type, redheads will burn easily and should limit it to 5 minutes or so. If you don't get to the point of sunburn then it is a healthy tanning session, when you BURN that's what makes you cancer prone

brand name ISOTREX accutane gel bro.
from masters. "isotretinoin USP .05% w/w." its the real deal stuff. works good too. nizoral plus isotrex plus anti bact soap and my arms are cleared up.To Rancid:
A tan is by definition a sun burn. Ask a dermatologist. Your right, tanning every once in a while probably wont give you cancer, but there are some bros out there who really over do it.
To WARBIRD:
THis is interesting, Im gonna have to look into, the only drawback to accutane is it strain on the liver, so a topical gel might just be the shit!

If you don't mind me asking-how much did you pay for the ISOTREX. I just plugged ISOTREX into google and found it (overseas of course) that sells a 30 gram 0.05% gel and/or lotion for $44.95, 3 tubes for $109.95 and 6 tubes for $199.95.WARBIRDWS6 said:
Is this a good deal, average, or an arse rape?
Nah man tanning is the skins natural defence AGAINST becomming sun burned, dark skin is your defence against being burned, you turn pale because there is no need to tan due to a lack of sun. tanning is as natural as being pale. A dark person is dark because his body detects the sun and releases melanine. The sun doesent actually turn the skin brown/tan thats a very common myth.
Infact sunless tanning pills consist of melanine to give you a tan without exposure to the sun. I've already researched this a long time ago and im sure if you do a search you will find tons of evidence in my favor. Look at hispanics... They evolved into dark skinned people because of their climate, they have naturally high melanine levels, does a hispanic person need the sun to be tan? nope

Your right and wrong. Yes getting darker, and thus tanning will protect you from getting even more burned later. But thats not to say that the "orginal" tan wasnt a burn. Wanna get REAL dark? GO bake out in the sun for a good 3 hours. WHen you come back, you'll be bright red, but a few days after the redness/inflamation goes away you'll be DARK. What you call Tan, I call a light burn. What you call a burn is wha I call a serious sun burn. So we're using different terminology, but there is no differance physiologically between a tan and a burn, its the same process, just of different severity.
Let me give you an anology. Lets look back in time, to the period where people were being innoculated for small pox. Basically people were given a weakened form of the small pox virus, the would get the illness, though it would be a much milder version. When they recovered, they were now immune to small pox. Thats kinda what your talking about. A light tan (weakend virus) is applied to prevent (innoculation) more serious burning (full-blown disease). BUt the tan (virus) is still a burn (infection).

Tanning to the point of being burned does not increase your long term tan. It is true that when you get really burned you will be very dark for a week or 2 after but that is short term. And I think his point is just that-- alot of bodybuilders like that very dark short term tan that comes after a bad sun burn and thus making tanning a bad idea in his eyes because that is what most do. a long term medium tan can be achieved by low exposure the same schedule you do a very long tan. Don't get "red" at all and you will still become tan while minimizing side effects like skin cancer by 99.9% Tan Smart!
