Pros: haven't seen any yet. Cons: stomach is upset, somewhat like a burning feeling. I did throw up once when I didn't eat anything before taking the pill. Now I eat, but my stomach still gets upset once in a while. Bottom Line: I have been using doxy (100mg) for three weeks and I think my acne has gotten a little worse. I guess I will give it a try, since many people have stated that it takes at least three months to completely work. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few weeks.

Amber, Maryland Aug 7th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I have been taking doxycline for 5 days and and my face is clearing up right before my eyes. I had acne when i was 16 and for some reason it showed up again out of the blue. My face is a lil dry but healing. Cons: Some say it gives them sensitivity to sunlight but i am a naturally tan person and never even had sunburn to begin with. When i was 16 it made me sick but now that im 20 i never feel sick wile taking it. Bottom Line: This works great for me I know my acne is due to random hormonal imbalances probably from taking birthcontrol. I dont think this would work as quickly on others but it is a sure way to clear up acne over time. When i was 16 i took it for several months and after taking i got acne again but it wasnt as bad it eventually cleared up over time. Then came again now that im 20. Id recomend this to anyone with acne it is really effective my doctor tould me it may take 2 months to see results and only 5 days have passed and i have no new pimples and all of my old ones are healed. My skin is flaky but i know its from the healing Id rather have a few patches of dry skin than acne any day. Recommended: Yes Usage: Amber has used this item for about a week.

AGU, SouthCal Aug 7th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I'm over 30. I've had acne all my life. This antibiotic worked almost instantly. Started 10 days ago, and have not had a single outbreak since 7 days ago. Unbelievable. Cons: Tend to get sunburned easily. A bit of stomach discomfort at first. Bottom Line: Personally, it's a wonder drug. Obviously, it won't work as well for everybody, but it's really worth asking your doctor for a prescription. I think you want at least 100mg per day dosage for avg size person with light to moderate acne. I've tried over-the-counter meds and creams, as well as prescription creams...none of that worked for me. Recommended: Yes Usage: AGU has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Valerie, Houston Tx Aug 5th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared up my acne..reduced redness and skin looks alot smoother Cons: without food it upsets the stomach and very sensitive to the sun so make sure u use some kind of sunblock!

My skin looks smooth and the redness is no longer there. I had cystic acne and now i have no acne so i definitly would recommend this medication :-) Recommended: Yes Usage: Valerie has used this item for a few months.

Anonymous, Houston, TX Aug 4th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clears skin. Cons: Takes about 6 weeks to work. Nausea if taken on empty stomach. Can cause esophageal burns if not taken with enough water. Bottom Line: Make sure you take it with a full glass of water. It works well and doesn't make your skin peel like topical creams.

Pros: Cheap Easy to take At my pharmacy, I can get a two week supply for free Cons: Don't take on an empty stomach. I tried and it was awful Honestly I don't think I've seen any improvement with it Bottom Line: I've been taking this for years, and I don't think it's improved my skin at all. The only reason I still take it is because I've seen tremendous improvement in my skin (I started using Proactiv and the Zapzyt acne pack), so I'm afraid to stop taking it. !!!WARNING, THE NEXT FEW SENTENCES ARE GROSS!!! Unlike what they say, take it on a full stomach. When I took it on an empty stomach, I got so sick I actually vomited the pill back up, and I felt terrible the entire day. !!!END OF GROSS PART!!! So make sure you eat before you take it. Recommended: Yes Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Brianna, Palmdale, Ca Aug 1st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: still waiting to see results...cleared up a bit of the redness Cons: really bad nausea and vomiting everyday Bottom Line: i barely started about a week and a half ago so im still awaiting some more results,im 15 yrs old and out of nowhere i started breaking out real bad all over my chin,back and forehead. i had clear skin before nd maybe two or three zits here and there but i would rather go back to that then what i have now,also i get really big pimples on my chin and forehead,i dont touch them but for some reason when the bump goes away the big red mark stays and leaves me post acne marks not only that but those post acne marks are all over my chin and forehead and i have two big marks from these two big pimples under my nose about 3 centimeters above my lip,my self-esteem is extremely low and i cant even stand to look at myself in the mirror because my face looks horrible and hiding them with makeup makes it worse and it looks really cakey bcuz i try to hide them under all this foundation.ive tried so many acne products like proactive and none work!! anyone in the same situation as me??
