Acne when using CJC/ipa
RS has been using 200mcg of CJC and ipamorelin on a 5/2 nightly schedule for the past two weeks, starting from 100mcg each and gradually titrating up. RS has been experiencing increased acne (mostly on face, but some on back), which may be due to heightened IGF-1 levels. RS also gets increased acne from milk/dairy products due to the same hormonal pathway, so it's likely that IGF-1 is the culprit with CJC/ipa. Any tips to reduce acne (i.e. different schedule)? RS already uses topical retinoids and benzoyl peroxide.
