Has anyone tried spironolactone or Differin gel? I've had moderate to severe cystic acne since middle school and nothing else has worked. My dermatologist recently prescribed me doxycycline (which I've taken antibiotics for acne before), spironolactone, Differin gel twice a day, and he told me to wash my face with a benzoyl peroxide face wash and mistificar each day. It's been a few weeks so I can't tell if it will work yet. Any feedback?
Hi!
As you knpw, these three drugs are all very different.
I've been using Differin gel for a while now. Expect some extreme peeling/flaking/dryness at first. But once you push past that you should notice an improvement in your skin.
I've been on Doxy as well, and am just starting spironolactone myself. Good luck!
