There are three holy looksmaxxing substances, all three of which should ideally be taken together, as the majority of the negative side effects are negated by the other substances. These three substances are accutane, melanotan II and finasteride.
Accutane:
Pros:
Cons:
Dosage:
For people with oily skin and mild-moderate acne: 20 mg per day for 9 months
For people with normal, dry or combination skin and no or mild acne: 10 mg per day for 5 months, then reduce to 5 mg per day for 4 months, then 20 mg per week for another 4 months
These dosages are perfectly tuned for the respective skin types and conditions and provide good results with almost no side effects. The "traditional" way of dosing of up to 100mg per day is absolutely outdated and resposible for the bad reputation of accutane.
Melanotan II:
Pros:
Cons:
Dosage:
When injecting, 250 mcg per day and when using a nasal spray 500mcg per day. Optimally use it 20 minutes before sun exposure or just in the morning, when you know you will be outside quite a lot.
Finasteride:
Pros:
Cons:
Dosage:
1 mg once a day (if the medication is stopped, hairloss will return)
All three substances do not have to be taken by every person, of course; you can simply leave out the substance that you do not need. But as you can see, these three substances together are a good combination, because for example the worse erections caused by finasteride can be compensated by Melanotan II, or the darkening of hyperpigmentation caused by Melanotan II can be compensated by Accutane. Last but not least, it must be said that these three substances are unnecessarily still extremely feared in this forum because of their alleged side effects. However, if you really look at the scientific facts, you will quickly realise that from a biological/medical point of view alone, many of the alleged side effects do not make sense or cannot occur in most people.
Accutane:
Pros:
- Anti-aging
- Clear skin
- Better skin texture and complexion
- Less oily and shiny skin
- Reduction of Rosacea type 2
Cons:
- Dry skin
- Sensitive to sunlight
- Hard to get a tan due to improved cell turnover
- There are rare cases of hairloss and other "severe" side effects but with the dosage provided below these are practically impossible to get
Dosage:

Melanotan II:
Pros:
- Tan all year long
- Darker hair
- Improved sex drive and better erections
- Reduced appetite (may be a bad thing if you are very skinny)
- Reduced appearance of red skin
Cons:
- Forming of moles
- Worseing of preexisting hyperpigmentation
- Nausea (high doses)
- Kidney damage (high doses)
Dosage:
When injecting, 250 mcg per day and when using a nasal spray 500mcg per day. Optimally use it 20 minutes before sun exposure or just in the morning, when you know you will be outside quite a lot.
Finasteride:
Pros:
- Stop of androgenetic alopecia (MPH)
- Clear skin (only when the acne was hormonal)
Cons:
- Worse erections
- Decreased sex drive
- Just as with accutane, there are a lot of other side effects that could theoretically happen but are extremely rare in reality. Things like post-finasteride-syndrom for example is scientifically not verified whatsoever and is probably caused by the nocebo-effect and other circumstances or substances.
Dosage:
1 mg once a day (if the medication is stopped, hairloss will return)
