Is creatine bad for looksmaxxing?

Is it a bad idea to use creatine for looksmaxxing for extra muscle gains or is it gonna tank your face aesthetically due to bloating? Sean O'Mog says he loads up on creatine and his face doesn't seem to be impacted.

genetics infleuences creatines effects on your face as well as other factors, I stopped using creatine because it caused water retention in my face.

Creatine shouldn't cause water retention or bloating in the face as long as you are drinking enough water throughout the day and if you do experience bloating just lower the dose or stop taking it altogether.

But is it worth the investment or is it mostly marginal gains that you'll get anyway?

yea I agree with you but what I'm saying is if you want to get enough creatine to see results in your performance its almost impossible to generate enough from diet alone

Herring has the most creatine of all meats, with 3–4.5 grams per pound literally like 2 meals a day depending on ur caloric maintenance
