Why do guys sleep on suppressing DHT for clear skin/acne?

[Bipolar2Cel]

Lots of guys clear up their acne just from suppressing the trash hormone DHT, especially with dutasteride. Dutasteride can also shrink sebaceous glands over time. Is this forum too obsessed with exogenous androgens to admit fin/dut are secret skinmaxxing agents? I suppress both DHT + take oral retinol and got perfect clear skin most of the times unless I am adjusting my bipolar meds for 1-2 weeks or so(can get a few tiny zits when doing this before it clears up again).

I mean I can't be the only aware/thinking of this? Suppressing trash hormone DHT + retinoids is like double whammy for clearing up your skin. Less DHT suppression of elastin production also and higher estrogen in skin area from more available T for aromatization which is good for skin quality and anti-aging long-term. (Estrogen is generally a good looksmaxxing/looksmaintaining hormone for men when not in excess or you respond poorly to it in the wrong areas genetically)

DHT isnt trash hormone, the acne is a side effect of any androgenic compound caused by e2 imbalance. so if you dont want acne just take armidex or sum shi

Androgens directly affect sebum production + sebaceous gland size. That is why androgen receptor antagonists are effective for acne also(in women, obviously you don't want this shit as a man). Hmm, wonder how RU would work for acne on the face. Also even androgens that don't aromatize can often cause acne, no?

yea u right but androgens have so many positive effects that are worth it even for little acne thats just temporary

Haven't seen it be temporary in guys that get acne on roids unless they were able to fix it with isotretinoin. Even then not all are successful, every now and then some guy here at the forum complains about it.

Also I think people sleep on clear skin a lot, it is very OP. Could also be that I overestimate mild acne effects or just am obsessed with having clear skin now. So I can be wrong too.

i think that the truth will be somewhere in the middle
