If you’re genuinely worried about your face, here’s your playbook: don’t do a loading phase. Just take 3-5 grams daily with a glass of water. Stay consistent with your water intake (aim for 3-4 litres). Watch your sodium. And for the love of gains, stop staring at your face in every reflective surface. You’re fine.
I still take creatine daily. My face hasn’t turned into a balloon. My girlfriend hasn’t left me. And Mark? He stopped panicking, stopped the loading dose, and his jawline returned. Now he’s back to obsessing about his triceps. Some things never change. So no, creatine won’t make your face fatter. It’ll just make your muscles hold a little more water, and your ego hold a little more power. Now go lift something heavy.
