"i&#039;ve been on this medication with doxycycline just now hitting the 4 week mark. it&#039;s sad reading all of these reviews with most people saying they have cleared up within two weeks or so. i&#039;m starting to lose a bit of hope seeing as i get at least one to two new pimples a day (averaging out) which is about my usual amount. even if that doesn&#039;t sound like a lot i have cystic acne so it adds up quite quickly! ): i will however say i found this to be super mild compared to dans acne.org bp which kept me clear for a year and then the acne came back. epiduo has made my skin texture super soft and nice! it&#039;s very smooth feeling which is wonderful, but so far it&#039;s not keeping my skin clear or changing the nature of my breakout type/size."
