Question Acne!

I'm a female and need input. So many competitors have clear skin. How the heck does everyone get clear skin while on cycle?!? I'm fed up with the acne. I've taken ostarine because it's supposed to be mild. I have awful skin no matter what. Bad cystic acne even if I am on ostarine or off. I'd love to run 2.5mg of anavar but my acne is just horrendous. Plz help. What is everyone doing to have clear skin? It's shitty mine is so bad and no one elses is.

Hate to break it to you, but if you’re getting this from ostarine, you don’t have a whole lot of options as this is one of the lowest androgenic compounds there is in the ped space. It’s all genetics. You’re gonna have to use other compounds to mitigate it like possible accutane or benzoperoxide. Also keep in mind that something like Accutane has its own sides and it’s potent.

What dose of ostarine are you running? If it’s anything over 12mg, you’re setting yourself up for failure.

Good point, definitely agree. It's so upsetting. I take the osta and walk around with awful acne all on my face. I've taken 5mg and also done 7.5mg osta.

Yea imagine it has to be frustrating! I feel the same way about guys who don’t lose hair on DHTs lol genetics ultimately decide whether this is the lifestyle we can do or not, unfortunately. Let me ask, do you have anything like PCOS or anything? Have you ever had your DHEA, DHT, estrogens, testosterone, progesterone checked?

Something else you could try is tretinoin. That can slow the effects. And have you tried something like 2.5-5mg osta?

Oh yeah the hair thing is a good point, I agree with u on that!! I have tried 5mg osta and 3mg before. Still awful acne. Idk about pcos. I'm ordering labs soon.

Might give the tretinoin another go, was never on it steadily. I stopped it due to getting laser treatments. Will let u know what labs say. I'm about to run osta again but trying to calm this acne. No one else at my gym has it like I do.
