Comparing Duac vs Minocycline

For Acne I was prescribed duac 3% about two months ago by my dermatologist. Because my skin is quite sensitive he told me to use it on alternative days and to use a different cream on the in between days, so that's what I did. I only experienced extremely dry skin for about two days, two weeks after starting the treatment, besides that I had no side effects. My problem was that on both sides of my face I was having pus filled pimples and a lot of big ones underneath the skin as well. I wouldn't say that the treatment worked fast for me but it did work. I'm two months in and my pimples are almost completely gone, no marks, no redness. Totally recommend this product under doctor prescription. if you have more severe acne you may want to ask the duac 5%, but it is not recommended if you have sensitive skin as it may contribute to severe dryness and skin breaks and cracks.

For Acne I started using Duac and within 8-10 days my face was completely clear of acne however when I came back to use it, it wasn't as effective as the first time.

For Acne My first week of taking this drug were terrible. My acne got worse and I broke out in hives. I was itchy. I felt ugly and I was miserable and ready to quit. I didn't even want to leave the house! I continued with it and one week later, my skin is clearing up, my hives have gone away and I'm starting to be really happy with the results. If this drug makes your skin worse in the first week, don't quit because it will get better!!!

For Acne I've been on minocycline for five days now and I've noticed the acne on my skin starting to clear up pretty well and I bet two more weeks would clear it fully. But the side effects are too difficult to bare. I feel far too tired, my mouth is always dry and has a bitter taste no matter what I eat or how much I brush my teeth. But most recently my throat swelled up to the point where I could barely gulp. Overall I think it has potential to be a great product. But for me it wasn't worth the suffering.
