Joe, Seattle Sep 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Simple and effective. I have been prescribed two 100mg pills a day and overall it has worked consistently, clearing and calming skin. Cons: Doesn't completely clear skin.I fear that it may be slowing and stop working. Can cause a really serious upset stomach (you aren't supposed to take it within an hour of eating if you can). Legitimate sensitivity to sunlight. Bottom Line: It has worked for me. I have had a really serious combination between stress and diet and naturally bad skin, but doxy has worked well for me. I had a really horrible outbreak that just got worse and worse with all the meds that I was being prescribed, but after I stopped using those (tetronin cream in particular; it was disgusting looking) and stayed on the pills I saw my skin get much much better. Though my face isn't totally clear and I question how it will continue to work, I would definitely reccommend it. Doxy may cause upset stomachs, but if you take it long enough you get used to it. Initially taking it on an empty stomach could make you really sick feeling, but I eventually got used to it. It makes me nervous though taking it anytime too near to when I eat because I think it may work less effectively. Recommended: Yes Usage: Joe has used this item for a few months.

Chris, Los Angeles, CA Sep 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I have noticed that the size of cyst have lowered alot. Have been having less and less breakouts a week. Cons: Face is very sensitive to the sun. Upset stomach when not taken with food. Bottom Line: I have used this product for about 3 months before. I was clear of acne for an entire summer with very few breakouts here and there but no new cyst. About a few weeks ago when summer was ending and school was starting up, I started notcing cyst forming around my left cheek. I immediately went to my physician to renew my presriciption to doxycycline. Since I have been using doxy again about 2 weeks ago I noticed that those cyst have lowered since then. I still experience breakouts here and there but nothing but nothing as bad. I still suffer from new acne but cysts have decreseased since renewing my prescription. I also suffer from scars left from the cyst but have noticed a slight imporvement. Overall i suggest using this antibiotic if you are experiencing cystic acne. If it doesnt work immediately, just wait it out and you will start seeing improvements the more consistint u are with the medication Recommended: Yes Usage: Chris has used this item for a few weeks.

Pros: Made my acne on my chin go away Cons: I get nauseous if I took it and waited too long to eat something. Also, my hands and arms have been very tingly. My skin was also sensitive to the sun Bottom Line: I would use this to get rid of acne. I have used other antibiotics that havent worked as well as this one. I'm very stressed with school right now, and it is keeping my acne away Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few months.

Mark, Holland Sep 11th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: After 11 years (now 21 years old) i'm finally acne free, i had medium/severe acne on my back and neck, now it's gone. And I can say I tried so many things (diets, clothing, sporting, washing) but nothing helped! Only doxycyclyne does. Cons: I do not know if I am acne free now, because I still use it. But what if I stop my cure? Will it come back? I dont know, so i keep using it. Bottom Line: Its the only thing for me that helped, and I tried many things. KEEP USING IT for 5 months! I started my cure in november, I was acne free end of March. In Jan/Feb I felt sad that it didnt help, but I kept using it and finally in March I was free. So BE PATIENT. And by the way I had no side effects from the sun or what so ever. Its THE cure, further you need nothing. I tried other cleansers, gels, scrubs etc etc.... nothing helps, only doxy. Good luck.

EllaAnne, USA Sep 9th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It seemed like it was starting to clear my skin, I didn't get any new spots while on it. Cons: It gave me horrible stomach aches even when I took it with food and water so I had to stop. Bottom Line: Made me sick so I couldn't use it. Recommended: Yes Usage: EllaAnne has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?

Lindsey, Dallas TX Sep 9th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clears up all acne Cons: I didn't have any serious side effects. The worst was a tingly feeling in my hands and sensitivity to hot and cold things on my hands. Bottom Line: If you're interested in, and determined to have clear skin. This will work despite the side effects, everyone has a different reaction, but the bottom line is that it will clear your skin Recommended: Yes Usage: Lindsey has used this item for a few months.

John, Canada Sep 7th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Didn't do a whole lot at first but reduced the amount of acne by a little. I was hoping for a more drastic change, but it did help a little. Cons: Don't ever take it on an empty stomach. Bottom Line: It works for some people, but it doesn't completely clear away acne. Recommended: No Usage: John has used this item for a few months. Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Ben, New Zealand Sep 6th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: almost to none Cons: many, huge breakouts Bottom Line: I've been writing a review to this drug a few months ago saying it wouldn't do much back then, now that I've been using it for about 6 months I had to stop using it because it kept causing breakouts DAILY. It made everything worse. My skin is covered with spots, scars (mostly from a bad beautician though), and skin irritations. I went to a derm and he put me on Accutane right away, telling me he would have never prescribed Doxycycline. Even though I'm off Doxy for about 2 months now, my skin still looks horrible. Recommended: No Usage: Ben has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 5.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
