Avoiding the typical steroid skin look

[goonr]

Don't want to piss off anyone here, but how can I avoid that typical red leathery steroid skin look? I think i've read something about supplementing collagen peptides or lowdose HGH. Any experiences?

Have good skin genetics, stay healthy, and use drugs that agree with you at reasonable doses...

About it. GH and other skin friendly drugs and supplements can help, but this is largely genetic and forcing square pegs into round holes.

90% genetics, just eat right and keep your hormones stable. I barely break out on blast, hell I only blast twice a year.

Got that American Psycho skin routine, never hurts..

Find a good lotion with hyaluronic acid and use it everyday. Maybe some retinol on your forehead and around your eyes.

I don't think OP is talking about acne.

If I understand correctly, and I too don't like that look at all, don't use tren and don't go too low body fat.

I’m not sure if op is referring to acne or too much sun exposure. I know plenty of women 40+ that have never used PED’s with skin OP is describing lol

I think OP is referring to the dry, flushed, greasy dick-skin look. Some dudes just look sunburned and gross at all times.

If that's the case, don't go into severe cuts trying to hit super low bodyfat. Keep your BP and estrogen in check. Stay hydrated and well rested. Take some collagen if you need to.

And if you start getting the look, lower your doses. You can just use test and get good results without almost any of the bad sides like this

Collagen and deca. Get bit of stuff under your skin

The redness might be from too high hematocrit or it might be something else, like increased blood flow, idk ... But the greasy dick - skin look describes it quite adequately, yes lol.

Have you seen somebody with that look who is not on tren? I'm just guessing/speculating, that it has something to do with tren specifically.

exfoliate 2xs a week and use a good moisturizer when you get up and go to bed everyday.
Some derms recommend sunscreen every day.
Everything else is a waste.

Donate blood, like Jin said high hematocrit and hemoglobin don’t help the issue any…

Don’t overuse DHT drugs. That aged skin look is from using too many DHT drugs and having your estrogen in the dirt all the time. It fucks with your face

Thanks for your suggestions. I've added an example image to show you what i meant with red steroid skin. There are probably better examples though. Also it's true that many Tren users have this look and i'm wondering why anyone would want that. No offense, just this "super dry look" looks very unaesthetic to me.

Collagen and deca. Get bit of stuff under your skin

I think the post i was talking about mentioned deca. Something like "if you don't want to look like the typical steroid user, always use deca with testosterone for skin and joint gains". Problem is now i've read Deca and the excessive collagen synthesis is probably not the healthiest choice when it comes to AAS. I wonder if the same can be applied to lowdose HGH.

Do you think it could happen with Primo too? Even if I go 2:1 Test Primo?

Those photos look like they were taken with a potato in 1997.

LOL, Indeed but now I sort of get what OP is talking about.

You sound familiar like Test.....Something Maybe I have seen you somewhere before

Damn bro. You have to click on them to see them in ful res. I hope you stop seeing potatoes sooner then later

 

[VenomYo]

nah

what OP is talking about is red skin with low estrogen and low bodyfat resulting in a red wrinkly skin look

Now add ontop of that acne and bloat from growth hormone and you get this weird concoction of a bloated red buffalo that is somehow still low bodyfat

 

[VenomYo]

Lmao yes this. describes exactly what I mean. I bet you this guy has a visible six pack but you'd never be able to tell from judging by his face
