"i&rsquo;ve been on akamin (the australian brand of minocycline) for just over two weeks now. the first week that i was on it, my acne was the worst it&rsquo;s ever been but i knew it would likely get worse before it got better. i&rsquo;m now two and a half weeks in and my skin is completely clear. definitely recommend speaking to your doctor or dermatologist about getting a prescription if you have trouble with acne."
