I'm 15 years old, and I have had moderate acne for about 2 years. I have a lot of blackheads, and a few pimples here and there, but they are always inflamed. Since no facewahses and scrubs were working at all, I finally went to my doctor. He prescribed me the clindoxyl gel, but also gave me a prescription for tetracycline (If the gel didn't help after 2 weeks) I had to apply the gel right before bed every night, and I do admit it helped a bit. It helped my oily skin (but also made it dry which was fixed by cream) and it made my skin feel smooth. I also used spectro gel (In the purple bottle) while in the shower.

After a while using the cream, I decided to try the tetra, but when I went to the pharmacy and it wasn't available. So my doc gave me the minocycline. I have to take 50mg pills twice a day (morning and night) as well as using the clindoxyl gel and spectro. I've been on this for about 8 days now, and sadly I haven't seen much of a difference. I guess it is a little better, but not really. My doc said it might take 4 weeks to start seeing a difference, but I have read about people who have been clear in 1 or 2 weeks. I'm still sticking with it, hoping it will work soon.
