| Pros | Fairly cheap. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Not good for long term! Have to take it often to make it effective. |
| Bottom line | I have been on this for almost 2 years off and on as needed. It has been great for when I was on the medicine. However, it did not produce long lasting results. In fact, I believe towards the end I become immune to it. I should have listened to other reviews. Not worth it in the end. |

| Pros | -prevents new acne -skin is not as red and inflamed -small pill |
|---|---|
| Cons | none. |
| Bottom line | i've been taking this for almost a month and it has improved my skin a lot. i don't get as much acne anymore, i just get a couple pimples every once in a while. probably in a couple months, my skin will be clear. i've been using it with tretinoin cream, which makes an even bigger difference. people say that doxycycline makes them sick, but my dermatologist told me to take it with food, so i haven't had any side effects at all. i recommend it to anyone that suffers from moderate to severe acne. the only problem is that after a while your body becomes used to it so it won't work anymore so you have to get something stronger. |

| Pros | Small pill very easy to swallow |
|---|---|
| Cons | Are not very strong |
| Bottom line | I have been taking these for at least 4-5 months now and they have barely made a difference to my spots so therefore when I have finished this lot I am definitely going to go back to the doctor and get some stronger pills. |

| Pros | Cleared up acne Cleared up some scars |
|---|---|
| Cons | Stomach aches |
| Bottom line | I have been taking Doxycycline for about a month now and after a few days I could already tell a difference in my skin. I took it once on an empty stomach and I learned quickly to never do that again. I always take it after dinner with a complete glass of water and ever since I have not had any problems. Although, I have only been taking it for a month I furthered my research on the pill and learned the maximum amount of time to take this pill is only 4 months. After 4 months it wears off and acne (for the most part) will come back. Hope this helps! |

| Pros | -Cleared up most of my acne -Gave me a nice glow |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Makes skin very dry. |
| Bottom line | I've been on Doxycycline for a few months now I used to have a small pimples on my cheeks and huge zits on my chin. I've been using Doxycycline for the oral and Differin for topical use, Doxycycline has a lot of complaints for making your stomach hurt, but it didn't with me unless I took with with milk or water. At first It sorta broke me out, but now in my third month it's cleared up my skin almost all I only have one zit on my chin and no pimples on my cheeks. |

| Pros | Easy small pill to swallow |
|---|---|
| Cons | Sometimes can make you nauseas |
| Bottom line | I have been using doxy for over a month now and i still have a couple active pimples. I read reviews of how this pill can make you feel sick and when i started taking it only certain sporatic occasion my stomach would hurt but the other day after taking one within a short time of eating it made me throw up. In all honesty though i know once i'm off doxy my acne will come back. |

| Pros | Fights inflammatory acne Reduces acne significantly over a period of time |
|---|---|
| Cons | Dries skin Fear of yeast infection (Going to take probiotics to prevent overgrowth of yeast). |
| Bottom line | This is my 2nd review of Doxycycline. I wanted to wait a full month before I commented again. I broke out with hundreds of small acne all over my face back in November. I was first put on Minocycline which caused too much dizziness so I was taken off of that and prescribed Doxycycline 100 mg to be taken 2 times a day in conjunction with Yaz birth control, Duac, and Differin. I was put on Yaz because my hormone levels were exceedingly high and was told that Yaz will help regulate me. My right cheek unfortunately became severely inflamed and has finally calmed down after a good month. I still have a number of inflamed acne on my left check but I'm noticing improvement. Bottom line is that doxycycline did seem to work because I no longer have severe inflammation. Although I am left with severe scarring... lots and lots of hyperpigmentation... mainly red marks. I think I'll have to wear makeup more often then usual since It'll take a while for the scars to fade :( Now I'm not sure if it's Doxycycline that did it or if it was Yaz or if it was the combination of everything. It's worth a shot. Acne is never any fun to have and I hope those of you who are battling severe acne like myself and want to stay away from Accutane find some satisfaction with Doxycycline. |

| Pros | -cleared up some of my acne (mostly on my chest and back) |
|---|---|
| Cons | -made my stomach hurt, sometimes I couldn't handle it and would actually vomit |
| Bottom line | I was so gratefull to have my chest and back acne cleared up. However, this perscription made my stomach very upset. One time I accedently put one of these pills in the washer and it came out about 4 times the size it was originaly. This made me relize that this is what it was doing in my stomach. (No wonder it made me sick) It didnt clear up the acne on my face at all, but I guess it was nice to be able to wear low cut tops. |
