I don't want to give this medication a 5 just yet because I haven't been taking it that long, and this isn't the only thing that I use. I was on Tetracycline for a month, and my face just didn't seem to change for the better. So, once my perscription from Tetracycline had only 3 days left for me to take, I called the doctor and told him about my experience on Tetracycline. So, he put me on Doxycyline. I am amazed with the results so far!!!!!! I am 23 years old and have been battling persistant mild/moderate acne since the end of my 9th grade year. I began to develop cystic and nodular acne at 23. I would get one or two of them at the same time along my jaw line, or on my cheeks. I have tried just about everything imaginable that was otc, spa related, &/or home remedies. I am currently taking Doxy twice a day, and am applying Differin at night only. (I only apply Differin on the spots that tend to be persistant with acne- NOT ALL OVER MY FACE). Since I've been doing this, my face has one small pimple near my hair line, but my hair hides it. I don't have any bumps on my jaw line like I used to, and am pimple free everywhere else (granted that one that I just told you about) My regimen goes like this: A.M.-wash my face using the Exposed system (follow their directions for use) Eat Breakfast Take my birth control,Zinc, B&C vitamins Wear tinted moisture SPF15 (Aveda) as my sunblock and for mild coverage. Then, I apply Neutrogena on-the-spot concealer to my problematic areas (This is oil free and has a low does of medication in it) Lunch- I make sure I take the Doxycycline 2 hrs after I have taken my vitamins, and also before/after I eat my lunch Late Afternoon- Take another Doxycyline either 2 hrs before/after I eat. Wash my face with a mild cleanser (Purpose), and then apply Differin to my trouble spots only. I take the Exposed night cream and apply it to all other areas that the Differin is not applied on.
--A mild cleanser(such as Purpose) before the use of Differin is crutial! Once you get into a routine, it comes naturally, and isn't time consuming. (We all wash our faces)
