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.

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)

Anonymous Sep 4th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It took away all of my whiteheads. I found that when I didn't use the doxycycline part of my treatment that i got whiteheads. Reduced my overall acne greatly. (Great for a year!) Cons: Stops working after a while, about a year for me. Now I get whiteheads even if i use it. Makes you sick if you dont eat ALOT before taking it. Bottom Line: When I first started it, it made me throw up 4 times before i learned to eat alot of food before taking it. It worked really well for the first year and now it's not working. I'm going to my dermatologist to find somthing else that'll be as effective. Recommended: Yes Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Nat, Chicago, IL Sep 4th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: it cleared up most of my acne Cons: If taken on an empty stomach, you become nauseous. At first my acne got really bad after using this antibiotic but it soon began to clear up. Bottom Line: It works! Recommended: Yes Usage: Nat has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?

Juliet, New York, NY Sep 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared up most of my big acne spots I didn't experience any sensitivity to the sun or nausea when I took it without food Cons: Still had small whiteheads and redness Made my skin MUCH worse during the first 1-1.5 months, leading to bad scarring Took a while to work Bottom Line: Doryx (150 mg/day) did wonders for my severely infected facial acne, however I did not even begin to see result for about 7 weeks. After that, bam! all of my big breakouts and cysts disappeared within a week. Don't give up on this product if you don't see results within 6 weeks (the standard amount of time that people use to judge the effectiveness of a product). Also, don't give up if you break out like crazy during the first month or so. Recommended: Yes Usage: Juliet has used this item for a few months.

Lindy, San Antonio Sep 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clears up skin Cons: Causes moderate nausea and vomiting if taken on an empty stomach. Still causes mild nausea if taken with food. Bottom Line: My dermatologist thinks I have perioral dermatitus (I don't agree because I have white heads, not red bumps) but she prescribed doxycycline because she said it treats both. I am taking 100mg twice a day for a month with a second month if necessary. I wish it were only once a day because I tend to forget to take it. I've made the mistake of taking a pill and then forgetting to eat breakfast with the result that when I do eat, it makes me nauseous. One time 30 minutes had passed and I drank a Slim Fast and promptly threw it back up. I then ate some rice cakes and was able to keep those down. I have also gotten nauseous when I take the pill right before I eat. The best way to do it (with still a little nausea) is to eat and then wait a while before you take the pill (hence why I forget to take it). Also, make sure it is solid food, like crackers or a granola bar. I've had to adjust what I eat because I'm dieting (example: fruit is not enough in your stomach to prevent nause Recommended: Yes Usage: Lindy has used this item for about a week.
