"i was on solodyn for 7 weeks. i had borderline cyst acne and a lot of redness/pih. although solodyn reduced the amount of &#039;new&#039; acne that i got, and some of the cysts did end up rising to heads and disappeared (albeit slowly), the results weren&#039;t as dramatic as i hoped. i was still getting a fair amount of acne (maybe 50% as prior to the medicine after 4 weeks).

my dermatologist ended up putting me on doxycycline instead, and it&#039;s been much more effective (and much cheaper) than solodyn."
