[QUOTE="Fortunate, post: 212193, member: 42264"] I have a few data points related to both hCG and acne. I have been on hCG 100IU daily for a long time. Occasionally, I decide I don't want to inject every day, I go off it and eventually decide I am better off on it. It's an overall sense I get and not always a specific reason. I typically use Pregnyl. For a while, I used Empower's compounded and noticed with certainty, it was not as effective. I usually use the same vial for around six weeks. I suspect the potency starts to wane around then. On my last vial, I let it run to eight weeks for no particular reason. Today, I mixed a new vial and after injecting experienced a noticeable bump in energy with a subsequent crash like feeling later in the day. The other thing I noticed was a significant increase in oily skin. My logical conclusion is that the "old" hCG was no longer potent and the brand new vial is fully efficacious, and therefore what I am noticing is directly related to hCG. I am prone to acne. Always a struggle. But for days leading up to the new vial, my skin felt normal. Not oily. Today, I feel a substantial difference. I am fairly confident this is hCG related. What I don't know is whether or not the acne is a result in T levels, E2 levels, DHT levels or some direct mechanism. Of all these, if I had to guess, I'd say E2. I can't imagine T levels would jump enough from one injection to make a difference this quickly. On the other hand, I always assumed elevated E2 from hCG results form aromatization of T. If so, wouldn't T itself from T enanthate/cypionate before more likely to flare acne than hCG? I will have to do a little research, as I could be wrong about aromitization pathway. Just thought I'd share what I noticed. [/QUOTE]
