Creatine face bloat

[lightskinmaxxer]

I’ve been taking Creatine for like 2 years now. Low body fat %, relatively lean face but feel like it could be leaner. I’m stopping taking Creatine today as I’ve heard it can cause facial bloat and is a looksmin. Will I see noticeable improvements in how lean my face is?

Better than creatine and doesn’t make u look like a bloated pig g

Creatine does not cause bloat bro. You are bloated because of high BF% or no bones.

I’ve heard it can cause facial bloat

Complete myth. I have been on creatine for about a year and I am not bloated at all

"No, eggs don't contain significant amounts of creatine. On average, a large egg contains around 4 milligrams of creatine, which is minimal compared to red meat and fish."

im a month into training, lifts and strength consistently going up should I use creatine?

I’ve gained significant muscle whilst being on it. But I can’t say I wouldn’t have gained that without the use of Creatine. I’m just testing to see if I notice any differences in water retention in face without it.

I would say try it, if you don’t see changes in face, great and you can carry on using. The hair loss stuff is bs.

i used it for a few weeks last year but I quit the gym within 3 weeks so idk if it works

yeah ur right, I noticed no change in hair on it and I have long hair I can track, I need to fix my diet rn mostly I'm eating too much protein and too less carbs and fibre... literally living off protein and fats primarily

Yes. Creatine has made my physique better and I am stronger with it. Someone I know went from 80kg bench to 100kg after using creatine

Bloat is caused by subcutaneous water retention. Creatine causes intramuscular water retention.

May sound retarded but could it store more water in Buccinator muscles in cheeks?

It wont magically make your veins pop if they’re not already popping now. I’ve stopped taking it and see no no difference in physique, maybe even look a bit better. Even more of a shredder now.

It works differently for different people. When I start taking it, it's instant +3 kg of water stored in muscles 2 weeks after I start. If that's the case for you, you will see some debloat (if you do have facial muscles to store that water). If not then I don't think it'll change much. My friend doesn't really see much effect taking it, so discontinuing doesn't do anything to him either.
