Increased acne during PCT. Sign of recovery?

[vincenzo]

Hey guys,


I'm about 3 weeks into my Nolva post cycle therapy (pct), 40/40/20/20, and I've noticed a surge in chest and shoulder acne the last few days. Does this mean my natural Test levels are slowly getting back up to speed? I mean, my "tank" should be empty, so to speak.. So what's driving the acne?

Nothing has changed training or diet-wise. I have been using the same anti-bacterial soap for the last year. The cycle was my first, and was 12 weeks of Test E.

Anyone with similar experiences?

Happens to a lot of ppl in their post cycle therapy (pct). Should start clearing up after bout the 4th week of post cycle therapy (pct). Takes a bit for everything to get leveled back out. You just have to wait it out bro

hormonal changes, or the post cycle therapy (pct) meds can cause acne

same here... while on cycle i very rarely have acne. yet nolva causes me acne BAD on my back some chest too. was wondering if Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) would help next time. won't be such a huge change in hormone levels //

I've never really had acne in my whole life. So I'm not sure if I'll ever get it too bad, even on testosterone. I hope not anyway.

Its the changes in hormones that are causing the acne. I can remain acne free all cycle, but I usually get bad acne breakouts on post cycle therapy (pct) from weeks 1 to 3.

Ah I see, thanks guys..

I'm getting outbreaks like I'm on cycle. Just gotta wait it out then!

I'm in the same boat. 3 weeks into nolva and I'm breaking out like a teenager again. I've seen a few posts about PCT acne now so am feeling better about it and will wait it out.
