I’ve used Driada’s Test before and had zero issues with acne. After finishing that cycle, I took a break of about 8 to 9 weeks. During that time, I ran a PCT using Nolvadex for about five weeks. And, as they say it’s never just one cycle so I decided to hop back on.


This time, I ran 300 mg of Test and 300 mg of EQ. After around eight weeks, I started experiencing severe acne, so I decided to drop the EQ. It’s now been about six weeks since I stopped using EQ, but unfortunately, I still have a lot of acne.


Does anyone have any tips on how to reduce or get rid of it? I know Accutane is an option, but I’d really prefer to stay away from that stuff if possible.

This is a wrong place for this thread, but keep in mind EQ has a half life of 2 weeks and it takes 4-5 half lives for a drug to leave your system. EQ is a strong aromatase inhibitor, it's usually ran at ratio of 2:1 test:EQ. Get your bloodwork done and check e2. Also are you eating dairy? What about other foods? How is your hygiene? How much test did you run last time? It's possible you are just prone to acne when a certain treshold of androgens is broken. Also, acne just takes quite some time to clear up, from my experience a few months.
 
Moved to the proper section.

As previously advised, give it a bit more time, acne also takes a while to heal.
In general keep in mind that all androgens will increase oil production and therefore have the potential to cause acne.
E2 is also a factor, wouldn’t hurt to check that too
