basically my entire friend group has adult acne - mogs_me - 25-09-2025
we are all men in mid 20s
none of us have severe acne or anything cystic at this point
but we all still get a pimple from time to time
are we all subhuman or is this normal?
i feel like when i was younger it was rare to see people this age with any blemishes on their skin whatsoever
are we just high t beasts?

Avoid or reduce your intake of diary. This includes:
- Butter (grass fed butter might be okay because of it’s high vitamin A content)
- Cheese (cottage, parmesan, mozzarella, cheddar etc.)
- Frozen Deserts (e.g. ice cream cake)
- Ice Cream
- Milk (especially skim milk)
- Milk Powder
- Sour Cream
- Yogurt (probiotic yogurt might be okay)
- Whey Protein
Avoid or reduce your intake of foods with high glycemic loads. These include:
- Bagels
- Cereals
- Instant Oatmeal
- Pasta
- Pineapple
- Pumpkin
- Popcorn
- Potatoes (White and Russet)
- Rice
- Rice Cakes
- Sodas (Coke, Fanta, Dr. Pepper etc.)
- Wheat (this is in many foods! Check the ingredient list for this sneaky one)
- White Flour (e.g. pita bread, white bread, pizza dough, muffins, waffles, pancakes etc.)
- Watermelon

mechanistically fin should have little effect on acne
i think DHT is only slightly correlated to acne
T is more strongly correlated to acne
fin should reduce DHT levels and not change T levels much
there may be a slight increase in T levels when starting fin (most doctors argue that the lack of conversion from T->DHT shouldn't increase T levels by any significant amount, as only a relatively small amount of T is used to convert to DHT, but anecdotally I noticed a perceived increase to T for one month after starting), but again this shouldn't be much to do anything and T should return to baseline pretty quickly
