will creatine give me a bloat

[penguinza]

hey guys. I've been lifting for 2 years and ive never taken creatine although recently i have had an interest in taking it. i am terrified itll bloat my face cuz of the water retention. im probs 10-11ish% bodyfat rn, will taking creatine bloat my face at all? cuz that is the absolute last thing i want. i dont really have any knowledge if it will, any advice/knowledge would be appreciated.

My friend tried it and now he looks like a blob fish with a little boost in muscle plumpness

Yes, it creates water retention.

my weight fluctuates 2-3lb higher when I take creatine but it doesn't affect my face. I also take dandelion root and lots of potassium so that might play a role in counteracting facial bloat from creatine

What does dandelion root even do
