What is your protocol for acne
ad
Hey fellow brothers, what is your anti acne protocol?
I am right now suffering from mild acne, and would like to know what is your way of fighting it. I am trying to avoid accutane, I am also trying to use benzoyl-peroxide and shampoo with solycilic acid.. but as u could tell I wouldnt start this thread if I was winning this fight haha.
I am taking only Test and HCG.
Regarding blood, my estrogen is slightly above reference, but everything else is in norm.
Sorry for my grammar, english is not my native language

Knock your estrogen down some. Estrogen causes acne and it may even be higher than your blood test now especially with Testosterone and HCG
I have few months old bloodtest, so Ill go take new one to see where I stand with estrogen. Thanks for tip
I've found BHA helps a lot, it's a chemical exfoliant that doesn't irritate your skin as much as a scrub. Ultimately accutane is the only thing that's going to stop true hormonal acne though. Low dose (like 30mg EOD) minimises sides and doesn't touch my blood work.
Your grammars pretty damn good bro and unfortunately when it comes to acne created due to hormones it's difficult to control without drugs like Accutane. Hormonal acne is different than dirty butt acne. Washes and creams don't seem to have much of an effect on it due to the excess oil production from peds. Just shower often, use exfoliating soaps without added oils and personally I find Neutrogena T-Gel helps me.
Thank you :), and I guess u are right with source of acne.. I suppose Ill try accutane
I found switching to test C and pinning 2x a week helped with acne. Hormone fluctuation can definitely cause it to flair up. Also used adapalene gel once a day, it dries out the skin.
Thanks for tip for adapalene gel, ordered it. And about frequention of pinning, I pin 3x a week.
