Right hello everyone.

So, quick update on my acne situation: I used to have moderate/severe acne on my face, chest and back in 2010. I was using ACV and lemon juice primarily to battle my acne, which worked alright for me. My facial acne subsided a LOT last year, and my back went to mild/moderate.

Fast forward to now. After about a year of clear skin on my face and spotty skin on my back, I suddenly broke out crazily in February. My ACV/lemon juice didn't do shit for me, so finally, I decided to visit the dermatologist for the first time in my life. I was prescribed Doxycycline (100 mg), Differin 0.1% for my face and Benzoyl Peroxide 5% for my back.

So it's actually been 6 days now since I started Doxycycline. I'll just tabulate my regimen below:

MORNING

-Wash face with Decleor cleanser (no Differin used after cleansing)

-Wash body with Proactiv soap bar (1% salicylic acid)

-BP on back/chest

-1 pill Doxycycline

EVENING

-Post-workout, shower (Proactiv bar for back, no cleanser on face)

-BP on back/chest

NIGHT

-Wash face with Decleor cleanser

-Differin on face (trouble zones only)

-BP on back/chest

-Moisturiser on face 10 mins after Differin

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So basically: 6 days in, not too much of a difference on my back. My chest is super clear though, not a single active pimple (though a few scars). Inflammation on facial acne also diminishing, and fewer active pimples.

I'll post photos tomorrow.
