| Pros: | It doesn't make me as sick as Minocycline did. |
| Cons: | I have never broke out as bad as I have in the past 11 days that I have been using this product. It has given me acne that I never had before! I have had mild/severe acne for over a year now and this medicine has made it so bad I do not want to go ou |
| Bottom Line: | I would not get my hopes up if you are looking for a cure for mild/severe acne. |
| Recommended: | No |

| Pros: | cleared up all my cystic acne and big blemishes |
| Cons: | it takes a few weeks for it to properly kick in, still u hav to stick 2 it every day (routine is the only way!!!) |
| Bottom Line: | just after xmas my skin broke out sooo badd! i felt realy low and cudnt bear college, work and even tlkin to my friends. however i started to take 100mg of doxy once a day every morning with water and i hav dun so for the last 6 weeks without fail and my skin is looking so much better. i am also using a differin gel (0.1%)every night which also helps out alot. The only problem is that i have quite alot of scarring from my massive break out after xmas but there is no inflammation. |

| Pros: | Clears up your skin really well - Made my skin 95% clear and I had severe acne. |
| Cons: | If you quit, you WILL go back to breaking out, in most cases, more severely than before. Long term antibiotic usage causes candida overgrowth giving you small white bumps over your face. |
| Bottom Line: | I wish I never took Doxycycline or any other antibiotic for that matter, because I used to have minor acne, and now it's much worse because I quit. I know that once I get back on it, it'll make things better, but I hate the side effects of candida and skin darkening because of sun sensitivity. |

| Pros: | Totally works-i used it for two months and it cleared up my forehead cysts and chin pimples. Never had problem with stomach, etc. Just once a day 100 mg tablet. |
| Cons: | Left my skin clear but very dry-sandpapery. Nothing lotion can't fix. Must take it with something as will give you cramps or vomit. |
| Bottom Line: | Used for 2 months and quit because was worried about being on antibiotic for long period. Cysts came back and went to see Derm today to ask questions. Derm says the ONLY way to get rid of cystic acne is via antibiotics. you must fix from inside out. no topical ointment alone will get rid of it. I voiced concerns about long term antibiotic usage w/regards to immune system and she told me that Doryx (Doxycycline) does NOT affect your immune system in any way and is completely safe to take-even for years. Got 3 months worth. I am taking 100mg for 3 months to get rid of the acne, then i am going down to the 40mg to maintain. She also gave me samples of Ziana-a clindimycin/retin A (very little retin A) combo cream to "heal" my scars and current blemishes. ONLY use at night on spots only. I will update on the Ziana. |

| Pros: | Worked ok. alot better than erithromysin (clearly not how you spell it but i dont really care) |
| Cons: | None what so ever. Cant belive some people would say they had side affects as its not xactly the strongest of anti biotics. well suppose everyones diffrent :-D ! |
| Bottom Line: | I have been takeing doxycycline on and off for alomost 2 years. its not the best and im waiting on a dermotologist apointment. but for now it works alright and if i was to stop taking the treatment you would notice a change. (as in i would have more spots).
Nhss :-D
I didnt pay for it as i am only 15 <3. |

| Pros: | Beautiful Flawless Skin |
| Cons: | Sunburn Easily |
| Bottom Line: | I used this product for about a year. I have really bad acne and tried everything and after a month of using Doryx my skin was so good i couldn't believe it. I went off it about 5 months ago and my acne came back so i started taking Diane 35 and its horrible. Hasn't fixed my skin at all. I hope to go back on Doryx soon. |

| Pros: | its really not too expensive. easy to use and works on mild acne |
| Bottom Line: | When taking this while also using duac gel, my skin cleared completely. I haven't experienced the nausea or other side effects. I have however heard that this pill can promote depression. I don't know if this is true or not? |

| Pros: | none |
| Cons: | does nothing at all
you have to take a pill every day or twice a day
makes skin worse then ever |
| Bottom Line: | I've been on it four months. It never helped and now my skin is worse than it has ever been before. Does nothing for me at all. When I first started taking it it made me feel extremely sick on my stomach for a few hours after taking it, even when taking it with a small meal as suggested. I'm going off doxy |
