Positive acne treatments?

[pblade]

I am nearing 4 weeks into my cycle however I am noticing increased acne despite my diet and hygene. It is not bad at all but I would like to prevent it from getting worse. I considered trying to tan but after researching on the subject regarding tanning temporarily getting rid of acne I constanly see comments where it will damage your skin further and if discontinued the acne will come back. What have you guys used successfully to prevent acne on cycle?

Acutane might be an option if it was very sever however that isn't the case currently. I read about over the counter acne treatment containing 2% sacilyic acid. What are your views guys?

Proper dosing protocol will help a lot. I find that even long esters will cause acne in prone individuals even when shooting twice per week better at three times per week but best--ED injections. Also 5% benzoil peroxyde wash twice per day works wonders.

proper dosing could be key. what details can you provide about your cycle. often i have seen this result from too much of a good thing, acne has been linked to liver stress.
do not confuse the odd little zit as acne, acne is when you see a guy in a tight white t-shirt, with what appears to be marbles all over his back.

good luck, zits suck.

1. shower frequently
2. change sheets and pillow cases weekly
3. use benzyl peroxide gel
4. vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) reduces oil production (8-10g daily in divied doses)
5. tanning beds do help,real sun is better
6. swim in public pools...the chlorine kills bacteria on the skin
7. Augmentin-antibiotic 875mg twice daily to clear it up
8. use 100% pure soap...Ivory no additives
9. keep hands off your face and wash hands frequently
10. Accutane last resort

Number 8 did wonders for me. Showered with Ivory 2x a day and the acne reduced by like 70-80%. Skin was ITCHY as **** and still got the odd big ****er on my back, but chest/neck/shulders cleared right up.

I should have used a back scrubber now that I think of it.

Im going to print that list out for next go round:)

Good advice from everyone above. The only thing I'll add is that, for me anyway, some compounds produce acne no matter the dosing schedule. Go to your Doc and get a script for Panoxyl Cleansing Bar at 10%. Use it twice a day but be sure to leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it off. :)

The benzoyl peroxide is pretty good at killing the bacteria within existing acne.

I am finding that regular exfoliation keeps the breakouts to a minimum. Clean & Clear with the salicylic acid does a pretty good job of sloughing off dead skin and letting the sebum keep moving rather than getting gummed up in the pores and turning into an infection.

Still not perfect but helpful.

dont shower too frequently (1-2times a day) as when the body sence its "too dry" and when is overly stripped of its natty oils it can make it worse as it will try to pump MORE out so its a rollercoaster ride made worse .

also apple coder vinigar has made the biggiets diff in my life with acne treatment.
drink 3-4 oz EVERY DAY 1-2oz 2-3 times a day, down with a cup of water.

the apple cider vinigar did more for me then A SHIT LOAD of products iv tryed.

Coconut n peppermint soap.....lol, even my pre-teen sister would say that's gay:p

Hey to each "her" own eh juiced:ne

I'll second the apple cider vinegar.

Only I'd suggest taking the capsules. The liquid version can damage the enamel on your teeth. I have heqard of the liquid version being used topically as well.

If you are going with the caps, I'd suggest 3 caps twice a day, then as it starts to dry up, lower your dosage to 2 caps twice day. Expect a week to 10 days to see benefit.

agree with this.

benzoyl peroxide (twice a day) helped me a lot, but don't overdo it. It can make your skin too dry and it will begin to crack.

Vitamin B5 helpped me alot. It worked so great that my acne did not flare up even when I was gunning 5-6 grams of J per week.

Dosing for Vitamin B5 was about 1000mg per day spread out during the day. Did this for a month.

That's only a gram. I'm pretty sure you need 5 - 10 grams ED for positive effect.
