"i am a 40 y.o. female, i have had acne since i was 14. i&#039;ve been to a dermatologist and have tried everything from proactiv to prescription pills, creams, cleansers, steroids and even several different antibiotics. nothing ever worked, so i gave up. my health insurance changed at the beginning of the year (2015), so i found a new pcp. she asked me if i&#039;d tried any treatments for my acne. i said everything! first she put me on doxycycline, which seemed to work but made me nauseous. then she switched the medicine to minocycline. i noticed a difference the first week! i&#039;ve been on it for 2 months now, breakouts are healed! i have dark spots where pimples were and put cream on those areas to lighten it. so happy! no more covering up with makeup"
