Not true in this case because its a girl and she takes like 3 showers a day and is allergic to everything so the Ivory soap would make her skin worst.She is so clean that she developed rashes on her hands from washing them too many times.Not every one gets acne because they dont shower or are dirty,some people get skin conditions.Anyhow I ordered that acniliahtor.com product to see what happens.Its only 13.99 so its worth a try.Thanx to the guy that gave me the heads up and karma going your way.I know its not much but soon it will be more.AAP said:

Why even ask for advice if you dont want to hear what everyone has to say. Everyone is going to have different things to say about the subject. I like SeaBreeze.

Ivory Soap is pure and undiluted with no chemicals or fragrances. If this girl is allergic to Ivory Soap then she would certainly be breaking out from just plain laundry detergent she washes her clothes in.
Also, it helps a wee bit more if you add some details to your original postings about who/what is suffering it than just a loaded open end question. Where you then have to discredit anything you are told by anyone.
Bro, you want Accutane. It works, period. If you are predisposed to depression it may be hard on you mentally, there have been cases of people getting suicidal thoughts when using it and other forms of depression developing but if you try it and those things dont bother you one other thing that is sure to happen is your skin to be clearer then before you try it. You have to take it for a long time and results are usually permanant. I had a minor case of acne but I cant stand my skin being anything less then perfect and I tried it and havent gotten a single zit since.
I've been using pro-activ for years and trust me man, there's a reason why that product is #1.
I usually get it shipped to me every 2 months, but I've changed that to every 5 weeks due to being ON cycle, thus using the product more frequently than usual.
I use it about twice a day.
That stuff works wonders man. Not sure if it works for everybody but from my experience, I've been absolutely satisfied with it.
Only thing is that it takes me about 5-10 minutes to apply all three applications.
Kind of time-consuming but I have no choice. I hate walking around with zits and shyt.

I have delt with acne since 15yrs old. The best wash i found is Hibiclens. If you got to the local pharm just ask for it. If they dont have it then they will order it. Its a pre-surgical scrub and really took away my acne. If your acne is cystic then I found that the wash in combo with Accutane is what works. Im currently using the 2 right now. If you have any other questions then just ask.

Brevoxyl-8 Creamy Acne Face Wash (prescription)
gymratforlife said:
SeaBreeze is a facial cleaner that you can get a walmart or cvs some place like that. Its liquid like a bottle of rubbing alcahol. The active ingredient in it is ascilic acid (sp) 1% it works pretty good. I told my friend about it who has had problems with it since he did his first cycle and he said his acne is going away. Or i use the 6% bezol peroxide soap in the shower.

I agree, I take only 20mg/day and this is enough for me to get rid of my cystic acne on my back. What I don't agree with is the dose that most people take like 60-100mg. I think it should be taken like most ancillaries, in smaller doses so thst it's not toxic to your system while on AAS!

Over priced. Go to CVS, Walgreens, Walmart or wherever you like and buy the store brand version of Astringent. Look on the bottle for anything that says 2% Salicylic Acid. Cost $3.50 for 8 oz and will last for a long time.
Trendsetter21 said:
That works as does anything 10% benzoly peroxide I use PanOxyl and alternate with Neutrogena acne scrub 2% Sallicylic acid.
Accutane is a last resort. My liver has been throught 3 wars, and 8 tours of duty already.

That is also a great combination. I've heard PanOxyl is very good also. Basically you can make your own "Pro-Active" combo for less money.
You need a scrub or a scrub with Benzoyl peroxide, and an astringent. That combo works very well.
busamuscle said:
I believe I was on 80mg for like 6 months. I was referred to a very good dermatologist fomr my family physcian and i did not even have drastic cystic acne just minor on my shoulders and back and I am positive if it was not for the Accutane it would have continued to get worse and worse. I have used all types of gear since I used the Accutane and let me tell you I have enver ever had to use it again. One 6 month cycle at 60mg ed led to permanant clear skin for me. I did suffer from weird thoughts and dreams...but never thoughts of suicide...probably because I'm a Pimp though, and Pimps don't kill themselves.

very interesting.so can you never take aas again after it clears?i just heard about it from a friend and he's eat up with it.it all happened in 2 days.please anyone tell more!!i pass the info to him.also does anyone see alot more acne now than 5-10 yrs ago?I do.n1tro said:
theblondebomber said:
Well kind of my whole point was you need to take a decent amount for a significant time. Even continue to use it when your skin is clear and get atleast 6 months under your belt, I would go for 8 months if your skin is just awful or longer if needed but one longe solid stretch of being on it if you can handle the sides....should not ever get cystic acne ever again. I use everyting from test suspension to anadrol...I did accutane over three years ago...and like I said my skin is a smooth as a babies ass.

he will be glad to hear that and have to go elsewhere besides the docn1tro said:
cystic acne is a whole other animal... I have red marks, or scars I guess,
that are still visable from 3 years ago on my shoulders, arms, stomach. They have some scar removel cream at Walgreens I'm going to try... Those little bastards last for ever.

i feel your pain. im in the same situation. i got the acne cleared up 3 months ago and im scarred bad. after my accutane im going to start looking into laser treatment. you guys need to try HIBICLENS to wash with. it cut my acne in half before i started accutane.
halfcenturian said:
These aren't really scars, they are just skin level redish-purple spot. It's like a zit that healed up but left a zit tattoo. Smooth to the touch. That's why I
though about getting some scar cream.... it starts with an M. Walgrren's $25.
Probably worth a trip to my Dermatologist, and get some back up ammo.

I had very severe cystic acne prolly 5 to 6 yrs ago, 3 courses of Accutane later and i have been acne free for the past 3yrs. I never got any really bad sides from Accutane, just the dryness of the lips. Have got scarring like others have mentioned, but are fading with time, but keen to try other creams suggested here and see how it goes.
Starting a Deca/Sus250/Stan cycle in next few weeks, interesting to see if i get any flare ups. Got a few Accutane repeats handy just incase

I have a whole bunch of thoughts / suggestions (from personal experience):
Washing TOO often is just as bad as not staying clean as far as acne goes. That will make acne and rashes worse. Showering once or twice (at most) per day while using a good astringent in between is a good idea, even on your body. Any store-brand astringent will do. Try something like Neutrogena body wash.
I use an acne system (for the face) called Exposed. My brother & sister swear by proactive. Both work.
Eating clean is a must! Drinking tons of water is a must! Start from the inside-out.
Don't use any scented or dyed detergents / fabric softeners for clothes.... try some of the natural products.
Accutaine should only be used in extreme cases (like cystic acne) - it's harsh on the liver and must be doctor-regulated.
Topical clindamycin (sp?) lotion also works (it's not immediate, but it helps).

Yes good advice. I believe 60-80mg/day is perfect when not on AAS but if you have to use during just drop the dose down around 20mg until finished.

Good stuff I agree.
Also a tanning bed is a good alternative. Two birds with one stone also.
