I started a cycle, I'm only getting 2cc of oil in me every 5 days.
I've had acne on my back and some on the face but now my back is really bad and my shoulders and arms are getting it too.
Washing my face quite often seems to helps but I'll need to wash my back and arms too.
Do those "stridex" pads work? They seems quite convinient. What works besides Accutane?

I hear ya bro, accutane is some good shit, i have taken it in the past and it cleared me up but since I have been doing juice i always have them, I think i am going to go to the doc and get on some again after this cycle is over. nothing else works for me tried it all.

I just take some benzac w10 everyday on my back and face, even if i don't have any acne.
I only use it on a cycle and shortly after.
You need a rx for it but it is mild.
I also wash with an anti-bac. soap and use a scrub brush for my back.

Yeah a trainner at my gym uses Accutane. It's been 3weeks that he's started and I can really tell the difference. But won't keeping your skin clean and dry (from washing) help?

its not all about your skin , its whats going on hormonally beneath it. try a soap , you need a script for it , its called panoxil 10 and theres a stick called
dilacin T , its a topical clindamicin. they are all good shit.
when done with youre cycle , grab the accutane.

keeping my skin clear and dry does'nt do a thing for me, the accutane is awsome but it causes you to have very dry skin and your lips are always pilling

Keeping your skin as clean as possible isn't a cure all but it defintiely helps. Even if you have to take 3 showers a day, do it. Getting some sun or tanning will help
you a little also.

Ask the doc about the accutane.

Before you try Accutane, try over the counter products. Accutane is some harsh shit. I was terrified about breaking out when I hit my cycle. Well, I am on right now and I am keeping acne at bay. I definately have more acne but, it's not as bad as I thought. I shower twice a day(antibaterial soap) and use Nuetrogena Body clear wash. I wash my hair and body with it. At night i apply some Persa gel and all is well. I have Benamyacin but rarely use it. It drys out my skin. Also tanning is great. I have really oily skin so I tried to get Accutane before my cycle and the doc said NO WAY!!! He said it could cause permanent damage.

Just a little warning for my bros...be careful with accutane and only use it if you have REALLY bad acne b/c it is hard on the liver and while on a cycle it can mutilate your liver...

I've been using Neutrogena Clear Body Wash as well, with pretty good results. Give it a shot.

Try lighter cycles and go easy on test. products, it may take a little longer to make your gains but you won't have nearly as many side affects and you won't loose as much when you come clean either.

Yeah, I'm curious as to what Bow is taking? My face is really sensitive and will break out easily. I've never done AS yet, but I just finished a 6 week cycle with liquid oral pro-hormone sup. and it destroyed my face. I'm taking tetracycline, brevoxyl face wash and clindamycin face wipes. Month later my face is still breaking out pretty bad. I'm looking to start my first cycle and nervous about how bad my face will break out. Pain in the ass. Also done Accutane twice and if you really dont need it, dont use it!

Oh, yeah, anybody had any experiences with AS that have caused the least amount of acne trouble? I'm definetly staying away from tests, I'm considering deca/d-bol or a primo/d-bol stack. any suggestions? How is the dbol on the acne?

use the same retin a micro as for stretch marks. it will make your face red for a couple of weeks, but then your skin will get used to it and it works wonders especially when combined with benzac 5.

Hey clem watch out for the d bol it's pretty nasty on the system.I'm with blackhaus,be careful with the acutane it just makes it a double whammy on your liver unfortunately i's the only thing that really works.It doesnt matter how many times you wash your skin its a hormonal problem . if your that concerned abot it go strictly anabolic as opposed to androgenic.

in reference to the accutane, you guys might want to reconsider it, especially if your doing a cycle right now or plan on doing one.I was on the shit for 1 year, its so harsh that I had to have 2 blood test a month to see if it was affecting my liver! pregnant women cant take this shit because it causes birth defects! It cleared me up and haven't had acne in 7 years but it is some serious shit (especially if taken w/orals) I recommend trying anything else first. Oh yeah, you do get dry lips, dry face and the worst, ingrown finger nails on all ten fingers, I'm not lying, if youd had one you know what it feels like, try having 10.........be careful
