Acne in 40-50 year olds

[Eaglehome]

Hey guys! So i haven’t juiced in almost 13 years. I’m 40 years old now. When I was doing it my acne got so bad. I literally have none now and haven’t for about 11 years. Just wondering what the older guys are seeing when jumping back on at an older age. Should I expect the breakouts to be just as bad as when I was younger? Thanks!

If you decide to jump back on PED’s get you some Accutane for preventative measures. You can take it in low doses like 10-30mg daily without any issues.

You will experience skin dryness and chapped lips so be prepared for that. I did Accutane years ago at 120mg daily for 3 months. I do not get cystic acne anymore. That’s been probably ~15 years now.

I still carry my chapstick daily though to this day. Do it and don’t look back.

I was really worried my acne had come back when I restarted gear, but luckily it was just genital warts.

Maybe “juicing” isn’t for you…

 

[pistonpump]

I wouldn't think it would but it would depend on your dosages and your compounds. I personally would get problems with pimples and breakouts when I came off the gear, part of why I stay on I suppose. My hormones are regulated mostly by my own thru gear and anti e etc. Coming off just is a rollercoaster for hormones

I had it bad towards the end of HS and a few years after that on my cheeks and chin. Then it stopped on its own. I am in my mid 30s now. I get a pimple here and there on my forehead. That’s about it. All depends on you. So try it and go from there.

I don’t think it would come back I mean you might get a few here and there on your back but no way near as when you were young. My younger son had really bad acne on his face and his back was horrible like horrible does even compare to what is was. But I took him to the Dr she put him on accutane and I’m 3 month they completely disappeared. But that Avery strong drug he would have to get blood work every month he was 17 years old then now his 18. If I was you I would hold of on the accutane and see if you don’t break out of you do then you can get on accutane or like slesh said don’t take aas

What really messed up people skin is not androgens - it is estrogen. Start doing microdosing- no matter what ester or compound - daily instead of once or few times a week.

In my last experience of acne, I believe it was high estrogen from rebound of being on vacation 3 weeks without pinning. Once I got home and started to pin and take anti e my skin got better. I did not have bloods to confirm though.

Are you saying it's a lack of estrogen? I've read higher estrogen in males will cause acne in some

What messes me up for sure. It’s the main way I can tell my E2 is too high for me.

1 is relatively normal. 2 at the same time = too high.

Now, given, I was on Accutane heavy years ago but who knows when those pores start coming back.

My heritage gave me oily skin. It persists in my 60s now. I will break out even on trt but I don't because I shower twice a day. Kep your skin clean and the natural oil at a low. Wash your face often and any areas that tend to sweat. Acne thrives on that natural oil, sebum, but it keeps the skin supple and young and helps protect against the sun.

Not lack - balance - too low estro - dry skin sore joints

 

[Alzadosghost]

I believe the Acne is caused by too much estrogen. I got acne the first time I used steroids. Never got it again. That was over 20 years ago.

Using long esters and injecting daily helps minimize any acne. It is the hormone fluctuations that caused acne for me, not the dose.

Back zits? Grab one of these things for your shower and stick to the wall.

47 years old, have always been prone to back acne, no matter the compound. If I take 10 milligrams of any oral, guaranteed a couple of new zits the next day.

On 900mg Test right now, of course I broke out but I am done dealing with this shit, bought a bunch of cipla accutane on a certain indian website, been taking 20mg daily. Cant wait to never deal with acne again or at least a lot less of it.

 

[MrWhisper]

I get them here and there on my forehead and I’m 42. It looks ridiculous to be this age. I started accutane at 10mg daily a few years ago and it works really well. I only use it when on cycle tho. I don’t use it on TRT.

 

[dieselbuilder]

I use hcg a few times per week and it leads to pimples on my forehead. Otherwise I barely get anything

actutane fucked my skin up permaneently, i was capping like 40mg caps back in 2009 and it dehydrated my skin barrier and cause some eczcema that was irreversible, now I just take hrt barely started to work out (had to take 6 mo off this summer) besides plyo and cardio . eager to get back In gym, collagen peptides + vit c + healthy skin am pm routine helped tremendously . i didn't get one zit after the acutane in 2010 until about a few years ago , now I will get one or two sporadically , sauna works wonders

High dose Vitamin B5 and evening primrose oil pretty much solved 98% for me, together of course with good hygiene and nutrition.

Accutane for me was the devil in my 20s, I think I lasted less then a month. It was standard dose with a derm tho, but fcuk...
