Hi! I'm a lean, 21 year old vegetarian male, who has suffered from mild to severe acne on and offsince 14. I tried almost every over the counter product, oxy, proactive, clean and clear... but also:
A strict six-month, no sugar diet with lots of exercise
Drinking more than enough water
All kinds of natural remedies like green tea, sea salt, witch hazel, tea tree and olive oil, honey...
I can't even recall everything I've tried, and I've probably spent atleast 500 dollars, if not more on various products.
Anyway, I would sometimes have moderate success, but in the end, NOTHING EVER WORKED.
Last October though, I visited my doctor, and he prescribed me with minocycline, which is an anti-biotic. I seen the most improvement in the first two weeks, and after that continued, but much more gradual success. I'm still taking the medication now, and even though I still get a small pimple now and again, it's never enough to break my new-found confidence, and usually clears up quickly. After another month I'm going to be weened off the meds, but have another prescription in case of flair ups.
Anyway, IT WORKS, and I just wanted to let this community know what my experience has been.

how long did it take until you started seeing results?
