"i suffered from acne since a teen and nothing ever worked. at 22 i wanted to give up. i tried minocycline before and it didnt work. the dermatologist gave it to me while i wanted the month before i went on accutane. it ended up working this time. i still get two to three small pimples a month and i still have a ton of scarring on my cheeks, but i don&#039;t even care. my face is smooth and feels amazing. i started taking 100mg twice a day but i am trying 100mg once a day to try and ween my body off so hopefully i can stop and the acne wont come back. it has been about 4 months since i started taking it. it does take time, but once it started working about the 6 week in, my face was clear."
