Pros:
cleared up acne, but not worth long term results and potential intestinal damage
Cons:
was on it for a few years, then doxycycline, then minocycline. after stopping, acne immediately came back. ended up getting GERD, terrible bad breath, and ended up needing hemmorhoid surgery. then OCD got really bad. now spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars in ayurvedic treatment which is finally working. spend more time focusing on your diet and understand your own food allergies (wheat, dairy,etc). cutting out sugar and low-glycemic carbs is really hard, but helped clear up my acne

Reduced number of large cysts
Easy to remember to take
Some reduction of back acne
Relatively cheap
Cons:
Had no effect on blackheads
Pros:

.after reading other people's comments, im afraid after a while of using it, it will stop working!
Pros:
cleared up my acne by about 75%
few side effects
