Here is the thing with acne. if you're prone to getting it while you cycle then your going to continue to get it. You said you took accutane when you were a teenager and that cleared up your acne on your face. Well if you have used test Enanthate before and you didnt get any on your face then chances are you wont get any on your face this time either BUT you may still get it on your face. There is no clear cut answer to this. The only thing I can recommend you do is to take precautions such as:

1) Taking a shower 3 times a day to keep your pores clean and make sure there is no oily build up.

2) Dont use scented soaps. Use a mild soap like cetaphil (Sp) that you can get a walgreens.

3) Dont use super hot water that draws all of the natural oil out of skin. Wash you face or take a shower in mild to luke warm water.

4) Use a good skin mosturizer to replenish the oil you take out of your skin by washing 3x a day. Your body works overtime to produce more natural oil that you just washed away and that can lead to over oilization of you skin and clogged pores which lead to breakouts.

5) Tan. Tanning helps to dry the skin. Doesnt aways help but with most people it usually does.

6) So swimming in a pool or sit in a spa. I dont know whats in the cholerine or chemicals that keep the pools PH balance proper but I tell ya everytime I broke out if I went swimming, the pool or spa cleared up my acne the next day.

7) Take pantheolic acid (b5). Take 5g or more per day. This helps to clear up acne.

8) Use an antibiotic like bacctrim or tetacyclene to help. I know people say dont use antibiotics while on gear but this is an option you may want to explore.

One or a combination of these may help to clear it up. Good luck.

Good post Mav.
If you were successful so far in your acne treatment with accutane,
you should not have problems anymore. I havent.

The ONLY thing that works for me, and it worked like a charm, was antibiotics.

Not so much diring a cycle, but after a cycle I would always break out like a 15 year old! So, what I would do was simply start the Minocycline (100 mg/day) or Periostat (50 mg/day) a few weeks before I was planning to end the cycle, and no problems!
