I have zero experience with 8 of the things you are using, but I do with Propecia.

How long have you been taking Propecia? I had a considerable breakout 6 weeks into it which is due to excess testosterone floating around cos it can't bind and convert to DHT. Excess tesosterone shows itself in puberty like symptoms. Acne if you're prone to it.

It's odd how you haven't had skin problems before though.

Some report said Propecia doesn't cause acne because it didn't increase sebum (oil) production in the trails participants. The fact is it would be quite easy for them to choose people who's sebacous glands don't react to seesawing hormones. Aka the lucky people who went through puberty without a blemish.

Ive been on Propecia 18 months now, I have been lucky regarding acne untill now that is. I think i'll have to try some different face washes or something.

My results have been disappointing, although I left it very late to act and im now paying the price, im 25 and at a late stage of male pattern baldness.
