"i have been taking monodox for around a month along with duac gel (5% bp, 1% clindamycin) at night and atralin (0.05% tretinoin) gel in the morning. while i can say that this antibiotic is definitely working, i have one complaint. my skin is seriously oily now. seriously oily. i mean, i need to use around 3 oil absorbing sheets a day. i&#039;ve gone through 3 or 4 packs of oil sheets. but, this works. it really has helped to eliminate large pimples. occasionally a large one will occur, but it&#039;s usually now smaller red specks or an occasional white head. i am told in another month i can see more results, and i hope that it happens, because if it does, my skin will be clear!"
