For Acne: Hello, I think this medicine is good for acne, but it depends I guess for people, but for me it work well, I did 2 months on this and my face still has some scars, but I get very few pimples now, and the big one that hurts your face, well I pretty much don't get these ones anymore. The only negative point that I noticed was that I was feeling a little bit tired on the medication, but seriously you've got nothing to lose, it just kills the bacteria in your system, I think. |

For Acne: I have been taking doxycycline for about a month and a half now and finally see improvement in my acne. I have been taking pictures every week and the first month was horrific. My acne got way worse and I started to get a little depressed. I still have acne and white heads but I can see a difference in my skin, although I have acne scares all over my cheeks. I will update next month.
