Liquidex And Vit A For Acne?

[matto18]

okay, don't flame my ass for asking a dumbass question like this (because i haven't spent one minute looking into this hardcore) but would liquidex and a high dosage of vitamin a help with acne, even if i'm not on a cycle? i'm having trouble controlling my acne and i've tried everyting but accutane (and i need accutane like i need a hole in my head). i've heard people vaguely mention things about liquidex and vitamin a helping with acne during a cycle (and yes, i know that accutane is directly related to vit a, but the horror stories about it causing depression make it a no-no for me). anyone have any ideas about this? help a brotha out!!!

Yeah, high dose VIT A does help.. if you do a search on google you come up with dosing scheme some derms use.. I tried it after awhile i got su weird chest pain.. stopped taking it went away within a day.

Yeah, L-dex *might* help a bit. On gear it helps alot cuz it keeps estrogen down instead of going crazy specially on short acting gear.

But I've also read that low estrogen levels can cause dry skin.

I believe vitamin A in large doses is unhealthy because of it's liver toxic.

"I believe vitamin A in large doses is unhealthy because of it's liver toxic."

i was thinking the same thing too bro.. hence 'accutane' being related to vit a in the first place...
maybe it could be done with some liver antioxidants. any other thoughts?

Have you tried pantothenic acid? Works for me at about 1-2 grams. That and clearasil are the best things i have used besides just showering alot.

yeah, i have used a small amount of pantothenic acid (which i think did help some) but ran out. i have a ton i just ordered online coming soon though. i was thinking about hitting this problem from all angles and getting a baby-faced complexion back... i'll look into the vitamin A some more though i guess.. thanks ya'll.

Studies have shown that vitamin A in high doses works to clear acne. This makes sense given that accutane is a vitamin A DERIVATIVE!

HOWEVER, with that being said, they are not exactly the same thing. Be careful cause vitamin A is very toxic as it is fat soluble. Definitely consult your physician about it!!

Have you tried 10 GRAMS of pantothenic acid (B5)?

i'l be tryin it soon, HM. its in the mail. i'll letcha know if it helps.
