| Pros: | Works for the cystic acne on me. Mostly on the face and scalp. No major breakouts following initiation of the drug. Continued with Retin-A Micro and Aczone daily and Clinique Moisturizer Gel as well as Enzymatic Sulphur Soap. Use Clinique Make up. |
| Cons: | Massive sunburn for me even with SPF 70 quite frequently as well as shade....one day at the beach for 4 hours. Ouch. |
| Bottom Line: | Not for blackheads. Just pimples. |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Pros: | It works well and i havent seemed to get a zit since ive been using it and for a little i was going through a stage where i was getting a zit a day. Here's my combo for treating my acne. 1. take a doxycycline. 2.moisturize. 3. benzoyl peroxide.5.slee |
| Cons: | uhhm people say you ge stomach ache's, but i havent really had any. |
| Bottom Line: | i would get it persribed to you by your doctor or derm. it seems to be working for me so far, not right a away this is my second day so obviously not right away especially since i use benzoyl peroxide, it dries up my skin, but the pharmacist says it takes 7-10 days to work and i have a 3 month supply, so imma be taking it until my forehead acne goes away its the worst in my opinion because i hate those little bumps on my forhead and is noticeable. so for all my forhead acne getters hang in there im 16 and just experiencing and its changing my life, i really dont want to do anything out dorrs anymore. have hope, drink a lot of water and take doxycycline i guess is my advice. |

| Pros: | Dries face very quickly, you will see results fast! |

| Bottom Line: | Aside from the side effects it gets the job done. |

| Pros: | I am 14 and have problem with pimple on my forehead, after three months consuming, it improved. So I stop, prolonged usage of antibiotic is not recommended. |
| Cons: | But after awhile, it came back full force. Pimples grow all over my face and back. It's scary.... |
| Recommended: | No |

| Bottom Line: | I've used this medicine for a couple of months. my skin cleared up a bit, but not as good as i would like. i think im going to try to switch to birth control or something else. its not worth the stomach problems anymore. |

| Pros: | Cleared up skin, reduced redness |
| Cons: | If you miss a day your acne comes back. Makes your skin sensitive to sunlight but basically all acne medications do that. |
| Bottom Line: | You have to wait a few weeks to see results (remember its working from the inside layers of your skin out). At first it might make your acne worse...but that doesn't mean it wont eventually work . If your stomach hurts after taking it then try eating a few crackers after swallowing it...it helps a lot. |

| Pros: | Works well - I had no side effects - no dry skin nothing!
I find it great |
| Cons: | Unfortunately for me it keeps persisting on coming back after a month or two of finishing my prescription. But while im using it its clear as |
| Bottom Line: | Patience needed! the first time I ever used it, it took a while for iy to wrk. The next time I used it, the result was almost instant. I have previously had one full course of roaccutane which was briliant but after about 12months I noticed small breakouts (no where near what it used to be ) so I usen this to keep minor problems under control.
I strongly reccommend Roaccutane for those with severe acne, I truly believe that this is the best and quickest way and will reduce chances of getting scarring.
Doxycycline is great - but only for those with mild acne!
If in doubt - go see a dermatologist - its worth it! |

| Pros: | cleared acne |
| Cons: | upset stomach for the first few weeks |
| Bottom Line: | I have always had moderate to severe acne. I went on accutane back in 2006 and completed one full course. However my acne came back shortly after and I was not able to do another course due to health issues. So i have had to struggle with acne ever since. Then I found out i had lyme disease and was put on doxycycline and within a week my skin was clear. two birds with one stone! |
