I was on finasteride for around three months and noticed my acne completely cleared. Not having side effects and being greedy I switched to dutasteride for the extra dht suppression and to further decrease my oil production. I’ve noticed though that my acne is coming back. It’s not as bad as pre-finasteride, but my skin was noticeably clearer on finasteride than dutasteride.

Is there a reason for this? I want to stay on dutasteride so Type 1 doesn’t rape my collagen but I miss my finasteride skin.

Acne can actually be clearer on finasterid than dutasteride, even though dutasterde suppresses more DHT. Broader DHT suppression can make skin changes or shifts in androgen activity that bring some acne back, it's somewhat ur...

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏 In this case is it better to stay on finasteride even though you have more systemic dht?
 
Its just the fact that your hormones are shifting more

I got acne hopping off roids, but never hopping on
