"update!- as below i stated that doxycycline and epiduo did an outstanding job. it continued to do so for 1 and a half months but they say all good things come to an end. because i was getting used to the tetracycline antibiotic,  i started getting little pimples-definitely not as bad as before so my dermatologist switched me over to oratane for the cure. i really am so happy doxycycline kick started my clear skin. don&#039;t forget to moisturize and sunscreen!"
