When I wrote to Ray like 10 years ago he said if you get acne before your menstrual cycle it’s a sign that your thyroid is low, at least at that time. I found taking T3 or T3/T4 combo really helped. I’ve experimented with all different doses of thyroid over the years... the most effective was the Mexican stuff but it’s hard for me to get any thyroid meds at all now, being in Canada. I take Thai NDT now and had to lower my dose, but I find even still my skin stays pretty clear. I think it’s the T3 that is key.@ilovethesea this is crazy outdated but…. Looking for an update from people who have experienced similar things to me. My acne had cleared for a couple years when I was pregnant and early postpartum. It started returning recently so I started trying to dial in my thyroid but also started progest e again, and my acne is definitely worse since doing that.
Did you ever take the progest e? Or do you still think only increasing your thyroid cured the acne that was in the second half of your cycle (that’s what I’m experiencing now)?
Thank you for updating, I’ll keep working on my thyroid!When I wrote to Ray like 10 years ago he said if you get acne before your menstrual cycle it’s a sign that your thyroid is low, at least at that time.

Regarding Progest E, yes I’ve been taking it for probably a decade now. 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. Not sure of the dose but I just squirt some directly from the bottle under the tongue. I find the progesterone and pregnenolone do something to make your skin kind of glow, and almost make your face look more relaxed. It was very noticeable when Idea Labs had the DMSO solvent that made it absorb quickly... people would comment.
But I don’t think the progesterone is as effective as thyroid for acne. I believe there is an old quote floating around somewhere on here where Ray did say that thyroid is more important.
Hi have you tried ordering from meds.com.mx? Are they not a reliable source? they say they ship internationally.When I wrote to Ray like 10 years ago he said if you get acne before your menstrual cycle it’s a sign that your thyroid is low, at least at that time.
