Face acne?
ad
Hey everyone. I tried looking specifically for face acne help in the forum and didn’t find much. Saw plenty for back, shoulders, and chest. I’m not sure if they all have the same root cause. If so, anybody have any recommendations? My shoulders and back break out decently bad but my face has started getting more out of control than I’d like. Right now I’m on Test 250/week and NPP 150/week. E2 was in decent range last week, at about 43pg/dL. Could be a bit lower, but I used to sit in the 80s. Interestingly enough at that level, acne wasn’t an issue. Any advice? I’d like to avoid accutane if at all possible lol. Appreciate any help, and happy new year friends!

Accutane is the only thing that’s ever helped my acne. All the scrubs and stuff approach it from a topical perspective, which is not what’s causing acne on gear.
100,000 iu of vitamin A from fish liver oil up to 4x a day. It’s more effective and safer than accutane, but they couldn’t patent it and make billions.
Use peroxide
Sun helps. Maybe indoor tanning? Some folks are just prone. And yes. Accutane is a nasty one.
Stand up tanning with the red light therapy worked well for me. And it gave me a nice tan. I also use an acne body wash and face wash and Japanese/Korean exfoliating cloth worked wonders! I swear by it. Those little clothes are amazing. They feel like steel wool.
