| Pros | Clears up acne Easy to use Amazingly cheap (Like $25) |
|---|---|
| Cons | Does cause Nausea if taken on empty stomach Makes you sensitive to sunlight |
| Bottom line | Great product to try since it's so inexpensive to see what it does to your skin. I have pretty bad acne with an oily complexion, but after using this for a couple of weeks my skin has been clearing up! I combine this with some benzoyle peroxide cream on the morning and some adapelene gel at night that my dermagolist recommeded. Still get some new pimples every now and then but its most likely since my hair touches my face and thats the only spot i get new blemishes. Super cheap product that worked for me, be a damn shame not to try it since its so cheap |

| Pros | Clears skin pretty quick. Very Cheap |
|---|---|
| Cons | Yeast Infection Neausea |
| Bottom line | READ THE DIRECTIONS ON THE PACKET GIVEN TO YOU BY THE PHARMIST BEFORE YOU TAKE THIS MEDICAN!! It says do NOT take it with anything dairy. If it makes you sick when you take it on an empty stomach, eat with it [remember, nothing with any dairy]. Make sure to drink A LOT of water. And also DON'T lie down for 30 minutes after you take it. Wait 2 hours after taking doxy before you take any antacids, vitamins, or calcium products. This is a good drug for acne but no one is taking it correctly and it's getting bad reviews. Take the full prescription until your doctor says so, because if you stop, the infection can come back and you can become immune to the antibiotic. Basically, Doxy worked for me, and I had very sever foliculicus. |

| Pros | Inexpensive with insurance |
|---|---|
| Cons | Doesn't really clear up acne Sun sensitivity |
| Bottom line | I was prescribed this medication by my doctor. It was originally prescribed for my acne, but then I was given another prescription for another problem (that has nothing to do with acne). I've been using that last prescription for at least three or four months now, and I've seen no improvement in my acne. It has, however, helped me with my other problem. So I'll give it an extra star for that. |

| Pros | Cheap (but you get what you pay for) |
|---|---|
| Cons | Severe Nausea |
| Bottom line | I took this for three months and had to quit. My nausea was so bad I was living off triscuit crackers. Dead serious. Also, my acne went from pretty bad only on my chin to blown up all over my face. I have cysts and nodules now that are the size of quarts and nickles and they're painful! My chin was the original problem and it FINALLY cleared up by the second month and then two weeks later started breaking out again. This is why I finally decided I'd quit taking them after my prescription ran out. After I finally get my skin cleared up one day when I find something that works, it'll take a lot of money and time to get rid of all the scarring and red spots. Thanks doxy. |

| Pros | Clears up skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | Severe nausea |
| Bottom line | I started taking 100 MG twice a day for 2 weeks, every time I took it in the morning without food in my stomach I would throw up. So I now take it once a day before I go to sleep. It has been a month and my face is almost 100 percent clear. I don't get any new breakouts but the old ones are still clearing. |

| Pros | Slightly Cleared |
|---|---|
| Cons | On and off Breakouts/clearing Nausea (depends on factors) Skin rash/spots/burns (read more) |
| Bottom line | I'm currently on 100MG taking it twice daily. I'm not 100% sure if it's working, but I would rather take this over accutane. You can puke if you don't eat a decent meal with the pill. I like to tan, to try and help my skin out.. But I can hardly do 4 minutes in the bed. I will rash and get white spots on my chest. It's starting to get better the more I do it. |

| Pros | Clears up acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | If you stop using it, you will get breakouts |
| Bottom line | SO basically i am 15...I used it for 2 months (twice a day) and then i ran out and it has been 2 weeks now... During the 2 months I used it I got no breakouts...All of a sudden in the past 2 weeks, every single day i have had a breakout and my acne has gotten redder and probably worst I am probably going to get prescribed again, so I suggest you keep doing this until your acne is little to none. |

| Pros | for me: non |
|---|---|
| Cons | nausea, break-outs, itchiness, skin irritation |
| Bottom line | This is the first oral solution I've tried. The nausea was there, but bearable, and it only happened the first couple times. I've been taking 100mg a day for almost 3 weeks. At first there was no affect, but in the past week my skin has been irritated, itchy, and breaking out like crazy. I've broken out with with pimples and red splotches ALL OVER my neck and chest. I've never broken out there in my entire life. My skin is rough and puffy and so uncomfortable. Wish this had worked for me like it did for other people. |
