oily skin?
« on: November 25, 2008, 01:21:01 PM »
Other than accutane, are there any good treatments?

I know there are 5 alpha reductase inhibitors in sebaceous glands,,, do any of you notice less oil when on finasteride?

Is it causing acne?  I use Dawn dishwashing soap on my shoulders and tan regularly which cuts it down tremendously.  I haven't tried accutane simply due to the side effects I've heard about.  I also use Cetaphil on my face 2-3 times a day and have another wash I use (can't remember off the top of my head what it is) to keep things clean.

Accutane is the only drug that stops the pores, but it has some serious side effects.

My advice is to try Benedryl for acne or don't use AAS at all.

I've used fina and couldn't tell a difference.

I take a newer scrip. med called Solodyn. Its an anti-bacterial. It seems to be working great, and it has alot of positive feedback. Check out www.acne.org       Peace brother.

Look, Overload's been over this shit time and time again.

This has been explained ad nauseum on this forum.

Read the forum and start with the "search" function.    ::)

excellent post.

My question is more along the lines of:  does finasteride decrease oily skin?  Theoretically, it should since sebaceous glands are activated by DHT, and 5 aplha reductase is located in sebaceous glands....

I honestly know nothing about acne or oily skin, but I have friend who's prone to adult acne (apparently a little different than adolescent acne  ??? ) and her derm prescribed her a relatively new product called DIFFERIN (adapalene).  I guess it works pretty well.  :-\

differen is ok, takes away inflammation of the acne, but you have to put it on like lotion, would be a pain to do that all over back or something, it is kinda oily texture if i remember.

do what pretty much everyone does on here and google search everything and then come back and act like you know what your talking about.

If your so worried about oily skin wash everyday and "Accutane is the only drug that stops the pores" thats Faulse Retin A, Retin A Micro Gel, Differin, Tazorac and Avita also do the same thing.

and if its such a big deal go to a dermatologist

Sorry, but most do not do this. Most of the vets on this board know what they speak of from experience! Thanks for your confidence in the board bro!

There's only one person who does that and his name is "tbombz" aka "dizzle".

Most vets on here have years of cycling under their belt and know what they're talking about from experience, not from google searches or second hand information.

You're going to learn everything you know by doing, not reading......

It's like sex, you either know how to fuck or you don't......reading about it isn't going to help you.   :-X

Yes, my first time using anadrol.

It feels similiar to Halotestin in that I feel "under the influence of something heavy", but it's more of a subdued feeling than aggression.

Mentally, I feel out of it, the thought process is shutdown which is also similar to Halo.

I am sampling Axio Anadrol.
