+ 1 Masteron and Acne
For the guys with experience I ask,
How are the acne sides on Masteron? The hair loss I'm less worried about, and will take saw palmetto for my prostate was well as doc visits to check the health prior and post.
I plan on running it 50mg/ed along with tren a 50mg/ed and low dose test prop 25mg/ed. The bump in sex drive is a def plus as well as the recomp effects.
I ran a tren a/low does test and had zero issues with acne. Next cycle, I ran Var at 80mg ed last cycle w/ NPP and Test P and my back broke out like a fucking teenager who hasn't washed in 2 weeks. I've never had an issue with test or deca, dbol, tren. So I'm assuming it was the DHT as the cause.
Currently on low does Accutane...20mg/ed to get everything cleared up and probably plan on running this low maintenance dose with my upcoming mast/tren/test cycle here in a month or so to keep shit in check.
Any experience/feedback would be appreciated...I don't plan on running any orals with this cycle obviously, and inject winny is out too for joints.

using a dht blocker to prevent sides while on masteron will also negate the benefits of masteron? or will it mitigate acne and hair loss while not affecting its anabolic properties?
I think it would dampen the benefits, what do you think?
probably a better question made seperate in another post. but....there's no conversion to stop; since masteron in itself is a DHT derivative. so imo, there's no point in running fina, duta, etc.
All I will add to this thread is this. If you have old acne from a previous cycle MAKE SURE to clear that up 90% before starting another cycle...aas acne is a different beast...not like regular acne...takes months 4-5 to see progress from bad acne...from experience I know...the more you battle it clean skin, accutane, alcohol, poping them all the way, loofa with anti bacterial soap. It will all help BUT will take time...
yea, i'd say its about 95% there, just a few hanging out on my shoulders thats more visible...periodically i'll get 1 that likes to sneak up but overall im almost there. but yea, this aas breakout was worse than i've ever had, honestly took me back to my teens...like a bad retro trip.
never had any problems with it specifically i find it really depends on what lab you are using some are better than others for that
yes, i have really come to find that out since my last source. was a first time try, but deals are not always such a good thing lol. i have since switchd sources and am confident i will have no issues.
That name isn't going to work bro. You need to pick another.
haha, 4 years later...no worries. FR sent in regards to PM.
I've also run accutane in the past for fairly severe cystic acne on my back, with great results. Afterwards my skin was incredibly clear with rarely ever any kind of blemish. I did notice when I ran some mast that as the dose was escalating but before it normalized that I would get a zit here and there on my upper back. Once everything stabilized this wasn't a problem and everything went away. We are talking like 2-3 zits, no big deal. From my experience if you are going to have any kind of acne on mast it'll be when you first start. I would advise finishing your course of accutane first though. That stuff is harsh on your system, and you really won't be back to normal for a month or two off of it.
yea i think i can live with a few bumps here or there and have read on keeping dosages stabilized. nice to hear mast doesn't cause too many acne/skin issues for the majority, but I know we are all different and I'll just find out firsthand how I react to the compound. I plan on only going 50mg ED with mast prop, nothing too crazy or overboard.
i think if your prone to acne then chances are those tendencies will be aggravated by AAS no matter which compound you use. if youre not prone, like me - never had acne in my life even as a teen, then chances are you wont. although i will say when using proviron which is essentially oral mast, a couple pimples might pop up here and there from the freed up test but nothing serious enough for me to be diving for the accutane. but i highly doubt one compound will make you break out unless youre already predisposed. just wash your face, back, shoulders, arms ect with an acne wash each night in the shower and you should be fine
If he does use cleansers that often, they should always be followed with moisturizer. It's the stripping of oils from the skin and the body overcompensating in trying to replenish those oils which causes acne for the majority of people. Took me a long time to learn this but when I did I ditched all my cleansers and never looked back
yes i agree with the predisposition of already having acne and then being prone to it again...i had just never had any type of breakout like this using any other AAS. I will give Mast a go, but honestly, good hygiene and showers,washes, etc have been a thing for me since I was a teenager...I'll just keep the estro in check and buckle up for the ride. thanks for the reply
Rosser01I am currently running mast at 600mg a week along with test prop at the same and I am having no acne whatsoever..!!! Everything is working just fine
nice nice...you using mast prop i take it?
No acne for me with mast, but then again I don't get acne from any AAS. I think it all comes don't to estro control. Keep that from fluctuating wildly and under control and you should be able to minimize the acne.
yea, im going to run aromasin with the mast. i dont believe in all the "mast is an AI" hype. hopefully this keeps it all in check. too bad we all cant have those gifted skin genetics! lol
AnonIts not hype, there is plenty of research and articles about it. It may not be as strong as adex or aromasin but for low dose test cycles it works wonderfully. At 25mg of test prop per day it would probably work well. Bloodwork will be key here.
I always advise having a dedicated ai on hand just in case by why add in more compounds if its not necessary?
well maybe i should rephrase that, i know it works, but not to the degree as the other main AI's to rely on it as a sole AI as some others have in the past. the key of course, is always blood work.
I agree with you that it's def not hype I have been running letro on a npp 150 EOD and test e 185 eod cycle for a bad gyno flare up because I tried using adex for my ai granted my doses of letro were high at 2.5 a day I added proviron with in 48 hours I crashed my estrogen hard my lips were dry cracked headach my crazy libido that I had on just the letro was gone I was exausted . This was after running the letro for close to a month at that dose. I usually run letro on cycle at 1.25 EOD if test is over five hundred and that keeps me between 30-60 so I'm used to letro. I know that provi is different than masteron, but I think they are similar enough that one one can make a comperison I have limited experience with it. but my estrogen was stable and I felt great energy sex drive , u know when u just feel dialed in. 4 doses of 25 mg of proviron spaced 12 hours apart approx. And I felt like a total estrogen crash. Joints got even crunchier. This was my first time using provi and I was really looking forward to the free test benefits, but I may have to try it another time. I have never gotten bloods while I was on nandrolone(DECA/npp), and I heard they can alter skew bloods can someone elaborate, or tell me a blood testing lab that does not have this issue. I would like to dial in estro with the provi if possible.
AnonDamn I wish proviron worked like that for me lol. I don't really get any estrogen control when running proviron, most I run it at is 50mg/day though. Never really experimented any higher.
It was really odd I was not expecting to crash like that. I dont think it's possible that all the sudden the letro just bit me in the ass like that because with me it always seems to be a more gradual progression of symptoms. This felt more like when you take to much aromison if you have ever experienced that. My goal is to figure out the dose of letro I can take with the proviron, If I can't get em to work together then I will have to scrap the provide for this run and chock it up to a learning experience
Let me know how the Low dose accutane works for you. My last cycle pct hade breaking out. Finally getting it under control though. Taking 2-3 showers a day lol
Once you finish accutane you'll probably never have to use any kind of cleanser again. I just go with hot water and exfoliation and still to this day get many compliments on my skin. I did a round of accutane back in '09 for about 4 months. Quit early due to side effects, but it was still very effective and a total life saver.
the 'tane has worked just fine. most of it is now gone...id say 85% of it except the big fuckers that like to leave discoloration underneath the skin. plus it being winter, im super dry most of the time...aveeno lotion and aquaphor are my best friends along with chap stick.
i've used it on/off since i was as late teenage and have had no bad sides from the drug, but def do your research as not everyone is so lucky.
