Hey guys! It's been 5 years since I've made this video, and my acne came back... but it's getting better with what I'm doing now! I have a new video where I talk all about it if you're interested 💜 I truly hope you're all doing well ✨th-cam.com/video/JI9Je-pjheU/w-d-xo.html
I just watched your video on 1 month using doxycycline and moved into this one but wow!! Your skin has become so beautiful sis your GLOWING 👏 I just started doxycycline yesterday and I'm hoping its the solution to all my acne troubles although I'm already started to have stomach problems :(
THANK YOU!! 💓 Are you taking probiotics with the doxycycline? That should help with stomach issues! Drinking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar diluted with water will also give you lots of probiotics! I like to do this every morning :) Good luck!!! And keep me updated on your skin journey :)
I'm still having new breakouts after a week of taking doxy. is this okay?
I'm obviously not a doctor, so I can only say from my personal experience that it's totally normal to get new breakouts after just one week! If after a full month you're still getting new breakouts and there's no improvement you may want to talk with your dermatologist :) Good luck!!!
How did u have the stomach issue?..do u still have it?
@@carldondeniega8047 how's ur acne now? May I ask for update pls
My acne is killing me. I was feeling a little less insecure about it then my mum mentioned how bad it is...Nothing helps it! Not to be dramatic but this acne kinda makes me wanna die...I don't want to do anything but hideaway. Can you make a video on having confidence with acne? PLEASE!!!!!!! You are so inspirational! LUV U SM!
I'm so sorry to hear your acne has been causing you to feel this way. I can totally relate. It's hard to have to wear such a deep insecurity for everyone to see. I know it's hard to hope sometimes, but I truly believe that you will find something that will clear your skin. Be patient with yourself :) I would absolutely love to make a video about having confidence with acne! Maybe I'll add it in as a topic for my weekly Friday uploads. Remember, whether you believe it or not, you are beautiful. ❤️
@@greta_jane Thank you ❤️ you're the best TH-camr ever!! ❤️
I just started mine today, wish me the best.
Wishing you the best of luck!! I made a more recent video about acne that may give you some encouragement! Here's a link :) th-cam.com/video/b_hFYJtQSoY/w-d-xo.html
How’s it working so far?
Me too! Good luck!! 🍀
Same here. On my 4th day... No new pimple so far.... Of to a good start🤗 but my dermatologist prescribed it for only 2 weeks... Since it's not too severe
@@naphisabetpakyntein4904 Me, for 1 week only. I'm currently and pariently waiting for the best result. What's yours?
i hust got on this last week and i see the results already but i did experience the side effect of vomiting but i'd take that over acne tbh.
Hahaha tbh
OMG literally anything is better then acne I hat having it 😞🖐️🖐️
Im so glad i didnt get the nausea because im emetophobic
U still have it till now?
am i the only one not having side effects from Doxycycline its been 4days im using it 🤷🏻♀️
Yay!! I'm so glad you're not experiencing any side effects. I didn't either, but it just shows how everyone's so different!!
Me too, I’m now 10 days in and still no side effects :)
are u guys seeing results????
Mia Healy yes. I’m only a couple days in and my skin looks like it’s glowing
i feel like i didnt experience any side effects until i stayed long under the sun since i went to a beach outing and tada! my skin just reacted. it became very sensitive to the sun and i did searched that it was one of the side effects of taking this drug. so make sure to stay out of the sun
I’m gonna take my doxycycline today. Just got them today and pray for my 1 month journey. Hopefully I don’t feel anything bad or awful. Wanna take my skin after things gets better as well!!
update?? i just picked mine up today🤞🏽
@@nt41809 actually been going really good. I thought it will be worst but actually it’s not that bad and it’s healing that’s the main point!
how is your skin now? any updates?
@@erynn7436 My skin is the best I’ve ever seen it, I don’t even use foundation anymore!
Really gotta trust the process bc the first month was hell for me, personally
@@erynn7436 It's so much better. Even though there's a few ance left but its so much better.
Yess!! I was looking through my pictures and at that time I thought it wasn’t that bad but it definitely was bad, looking back I see how much better I was at accepting my acne.
Isn't that so interesting!! It's weird how in a way acne can take away all your confidence and yet make you stronger. 🤔❤️🙃
Greta Jane Right!! I’ve had acne for 4 years and I still don’t understand it. I’m so glad you got clear skin, it’s great to see people getting clear skin as it would feel like one of the best times of my life.
Thank you. I'll be sending you prayers for clear skin and boundless confidence! Your selflessness is so admirable. THOSE are the qualities that are truly beautiful in a person 🦋
Greta Jane Thank you!!💕 I truly appreciate that. Same for you a lot of comments are about you inspiring people to stop hating their acne, your impacting people.
you are absolutly beautiful. and your concern for others touch me.your incredible and may GOD keep you on the road to recovery
IM YOUR 1000th SUBSCRIBERRR!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS FOR 1K AND I HOPE YOUR CHANNEL GROWS :) xx
OMG YAY!!!! Thank you 🎉🤗❤️
1 year ago i also had severe acne on my skin.. my Doctor recommended me minoz 100 and then doxycline it worked wonderfully for me but exactly after a year I'm having the same problem again🥺🤯
and started taking doxycline again i don't how is it going to work this time.
I’m day 8 on doxy and your experience is calming me down because right now my skin is breaking out more than ever..
Acne is so frustrating! Especially because everyone reacts to treatments differently. Hang in there! Sending you wishes of improvement ❤️ Remember that your acne doesn't make you any less of a person... It just makes you stronger 😉❤️❤️❤️❤️ Also, there will be another doxy update coming out Monday! I just finished filming it ☺️
Greta Jane cool ❤️❤️❤️
Noor J any update?
SvG Mikz I’m seeing a bit change.. you know the very very small spots that are all over your acne areas? I’m seeing a change with that only .. I’m still having break outs since this treatment is one of those “it gets worse before it gets better” ones . I still have 5 weeks to go with the treatment so I’m trying to be optimistic.. if you’re using it or planning to start using it all I can say to you is be patient and never lose hope ❤️
Noor J thank you so much, you just made my confidence higher. I’m starting tomorrow BTW, thanks❤️
just started doxy tody! hoping i can get gorgeous, glowing skin like yours! my dermatologist also prescribed me benzoyl peroxide cream as well xx
Aw thank you!! Wishing you the best of luck!! ❤️🍀
Amber Pryce do you know how much you paid for your cream because they’re telling me it’s going to be $150
Hii good morning 😊🌻🌻🌅
7267074433 please only call me
@@Jennygonzalez-xq4yj mine was about 40 dollars AUD.
Just took my first pill i so hope it works!!! what do/did you use for hyperpigmentation and did the doxy help with the hyperpigmentation ? :))
Whoever disliked this must of not actually watched it
I’ve been taking this for almost 2 weeks and using epiduo forte and I’m so impatient and want clear skin so bad😭
Do you have any results? I am using it for 6 days and nothing changed
took my last pill yesterday and the results are amazing
Omg I know ur pain with the Epiduo forte. The purging SUCKED but in the end, doxy is what really saved me tbh
Marie Khoury i am almost finished and my skin is soooo clear!
@@ddestinyy01 Hi ~ just wanted to know, withiin 2 weeks did it get better?
I have a question, I just got prescribed Tretinoin and Doxycycline mono 100mg, I take the tretinoin at night and I wanted to know what amount of time I should wait to take each medication, and which should I take first?
You're going to have to call and ask your dermatologist, or whoever prescribed you the medication :)
I started mine today,,I hope and pray it works,,Please wish me luck 🙏🏿
Wishing you the best of luck!! 🍀💕
How it was ??
I am taking doxycline capsule but i think its not working for me .. Do i have to use facial wash and cream as well? Please answer me thanks
When I was taking doxycycline I was also using a sulfur based face wash, topical antibiotic, spot treating with benzoyl peroxide, and using a basic moisturizer. It just depends on the severity of your acne, what your dermatologist recommends, and what you feel comfortable with :) If anything, just be sure to wash your face with a basic face wash and moisturize with a basic moisturizer at least once a day (morning and or night). I hope this helps :)
I started using mine yesterday prescribed by my dermatologist for 6 weeks. I hope it works.
Your glowing! Your skin looks great! I got prescribed it, but I'm scared to take doxycycline T.T thanks for the video !
THANK YOU!! And don't be scared! You can always just give it a try and if it gives you any side effects then at least you know you've tried it :)
You look awesome sis!! Praying for the doxycycline to do the same to my face ❤️
Thank you!! I have a more recent skin video that you may find encouraging :) Here's a link if you're curious!! Wishing you the best of luck with your skin!! th-cam.com/video/b_hFYJtQSoY/w-d-xo.html
How many months have you been taking doxycycline? Please reply me
I‘m currently on day 7 and I feel like my skin got worse and I got pimples in places where I normally don‘t get them. Has anyone experienced a similar reaction??
me!! I'm on day 9 and I feel like it is only getting worse :( I'm also on a treiton though so it could be that
Omg same and I’m on day 10🙄. Let me know when it gets better xx
How are you guys doing?? It's seriously so frustrating how everyone reacts differently to different acne treatments... why can't there just be some magical cure 🤦🏻♀️Wishing you both the absolute best 💕
So I’m currently on day 21 and I feel like it’s getting a little bit better but still purging. How are you doing Kyla Leotta ?
I just started today, crossing my fingers.
Pinchedi hows it been?
taylor marie I’m one month into it. There are no side effects, it’s placebo. If you think there’ll be side affects there will be. However, the acne does get better with time, just drink water and avoid dairy.
@@taylormarie5316 so far it's working for me. No major acne visible.
I just started Doxycycline 3 days ago! However, like a week ago my Dermatologist prescribed me Minocycline and DUDE Minocycline made me have bad headaches and made me soooo drowsy so I had to stop taking it and told my doctor. She then prescribed me Doxycycline! So far I have no side effects, no headache, and I'm not drowsy, which I'm thankful for, but I noticed that my skin is purging soo much right now and the pimples are sooo painful 😩. I'm taking Doxycycline for 2 months! Hopefully all goes well 😄
Angelica Lux how is it working for you? I just started today.
@@SamSmolko Yes, it worked extremely well for me! I had no side effects at all. The first month I was purging really bad and I thought it wasn't working but I pushed through and by the end of taking the last dose in my second month, my skin had improved a lot. No more big cysts and puss like pimples. However, for the pigmentation and scars, it will take time to go away so just be patient. I'm really happy with the results and Doxycycline had helped me achieve a clear face :) I hope Doxycycline works for you!!
Angelica Lux Thanks! I was on it for a week and had to take a break for a few days. It helped my skin but it lowered my immune system since its an antibiotic. It gave me a Y.I. My throat is swollen and i feel like i have flu symptoms too. (Sore throat/body aches) which never happens. Goin to kick up my yogurt/probiotic intake and get back to it soon though. Appreciate your reply! 😊
Angeliscool hey when you say purging was it like small bumps with a whitehead I’m currently going through this rn :(
@@angeliscool17 how many months did I take doxycycline ?
watching this is giving me peace
Hello I've heard that using clindamycin for long term topical will cause antibiotic resistance.
I don't doubt that! It's not good to use any type of antibiotic for long term. I used it for a year or so, but have since stopped :) talk to your doctor with your questions and concerns!!
Did your skin purge because I’m on my second week and my face has gotten a little worse ??? :(
It didn't cause any purging for me personally, but everyones skin is different and will react in different ways :)
Does this help with acne scaring, my doctor said it would. Thanks.
My doctor said the same so I'm just praying it does, I'm going to derma roll to help it along
I'm almost 24 years old, male and just started doxycycline today, I was on minocycline for 8 months, went off of antibiotics , now back on, I told my derm I wanted to try accutane I'm just at that point, then he tells me to take this instead first and I said this isn't pretty much what I was taking before, but he told me doxycycline is a bit stronger than minocycline, regardless , then he tells me "based on your acne, if you were to take accutane, "it would COMPLETELY get rid of the problem", that's what I'm looking for! I think doctors do this in general just so you come back and give them more business, i don't get much acne on face and it's never been that bad there, but where I get it more is on my back and shoulders, it's been happening for a year and a half now, and it's just as bad as having in on your face IMO, hope this works better plus topical treatments
I've found that doxycycline worked well for me, but of course everyone is different :) Good luck to you!!!
do i take the pill first then eat/ drink? or eat/drink then
take the pill
Eat and drink first!
Just found you and watched your skincare/acne videos! I currently am on Doxycycline, two weeks in! I have seen some pretty great results thus far, so fingers crossed this is what will do the trick! I am so happy that this worked for you! Your results are amazing! Can't wait to see more of your videos :) Happy skin healing! xo
I'm so glad you found me!! And I'm truly so happy doxycycline is working for you so far! Let me know how things go :) I'm planning more skin related videos, so stay-tuned!
Yay!! Can't wait!! xo Thank you! I will definitely keep you posted!@@greta_jane
So how did it go?
How's your diet, do you eat fast foods or do you have a strict diet ?
I just started mine today wish me luck & i hope my skin gets better :) ❤
Wishing you the best of luck!!! 🍀💕
I went on it three days ago and my cheeks have completely broken out like never before usually my acne is just really bad on my forehead but now my cheeks broke out hopefully it gets better
It's so frustrating that everyone reacts differently to different acne treatments. Wishing you all the best! :)
It’s the purging phase, getting all the bad stuff out, it basically gets worse before it gets better., but will get better!
CJ Pink hey how did you deal with the purging pls did you just leave it to pop ?
Did u wear makeup during this whole process? Because I wear makeup everyday and I don't know if I should stop or if it even matters
I didn't wear much makeup when I was using doxycycline, but I don't think it really matters as long as you wash it off at the end of the day :)
Did you do any like derma rollers or microdermasions? Cuz it looks amazing!!
Do you think I can still be out in the sun on doxy if I wear sunscreen ? I really would hate to not be able to go to the beach at all while taking this /:
I'd just be really careful in the sun! Especially if you're also using any topical treatments. Sunscreen and a hat should do the trick ☺️ just don't over do it!!
Hello mam please help me with your guidance i have been taking doxycycline with lactic acid since 2 months and it cleared my acne, i just want to confirm will my acne get back after stopping the medicine?
It all depends on the person, but for me personally it's been 3 years since taking it and it hasn't come back. It all depends on how each individual body responds to the medicine and what the root cause of the acne is from. I guess what I'm saying is that it'll work for some but not for others.
@@greta_jane got it mam thank you
It's been 5 days using Doxycycline and haven't seen any changes 😂 guess I'm really impatient but I hear It really works.
You should see noticeable results after a full month :)
This is my second time using doxycycline, is it just me but am I the only one who gets severely sad when on the pill?
Definitely talk to your doctor/dermatologist about this. Your mental health is more important than clear skin. Your doctor can help you find a different treatment that doesn't mess with your emotions :)
Guys it didn't work for me when i finished my medication i was clean for one week and then it came back way worse
Sorry guys i have an update when i stopped my medication my acne started to come back but my face is relaltively clean i have one with two pimples max
And i think it improvss your face a lot but it is still oily
Love this..love ya,for being urself and all😊😊😌😌
Is it best to take doxycycline on an empty stomach or after food? It's been one week and I see no results but more acne!
It's best to take it with food to avoid stomach upset! Just know that there are lots of natural ways to clear your skin centered around diet, lifestyle, and environment. I'll be talking about it more on my channel so stick around 🙃☺️
It's been a month ans my face has cleared up !! Definitely worth the wait!
Which dose is good 100mg or 50mg?
Did it purge your skin? In other words did your skin get worse before it got better?
Prior to using the routine I show in this video, I used differin gel and that "purged" my skin. The doxycycline just helped to calm my skin and keep new acne at bay. :)
Did your acne came back after the medication?
Yes! Please answer this I’m curious to know too. I’m about to end taking it and I’m scared it will come back. Lol I’ve gotten so comfortable with having clear skin & I’d hate to have acne again ah!
If you are taking it for acne scarring then it’s going to take months before the scarring goes away
My provider wants me to start using doxycycline, but I dont have insurance. How much did it cost you for the month? Did your insurance cover it?
My insurance fully covered it, so I don't know how much it would be without it! Sorry I couldn't help! But I'm sure you could call your dermatologist and ask :)
Its $60 without insurance
Your skin looks beautiful😍
Oh my goodness! Thank you ❤️💕
I take doxy on and off for cystic acne. When i quit, it looks great. But it alwaayyyssss comes back. Been doing this since I was 14 so this time im going to just keep going
Ugh that's so frustrating! When you do take it, how long are you taking it for? Months or weeks?
Greta's Life Well when I do, it’s usually about 2 or 3 months then I trick myself into thinking it will never come back so then I stop lol. This time I’m going to take it straight through until my hormones even out because these antibiotics are not as strong as ones used to treat strep throat or something like that. I hope it works 🤞🤞
You use vibramycin??? How many months use it???
I have been using doxycycline for 1 month (100MG). It work for me with no side effects. Tmm I would start 50MG for 1 more month because my face still shows red with no pimples tho
it doesn’t work for me :(
What was the dose you had to take for doxy?? Did you have to take once or twice a day?
I don't remember the dosage, but I do know that I took it once a day!
Hey I just got prescribed this should I take it instantly after every meal or wait 1-2 hours on a empty stomach to take it?
always take it with food :) I always took it right after I ate dinner!
Hi . Did ur acne come back after you stopped the medication?? Plz reply💜💜 and even m a BTS army😊
hi!! My skin remained clear for several years after taking it. I did experience some breakouts here and there though! I'm currently going through a breakout from trying different products... overall though I feel that the doxycycline was helpful but skin can be unpredictable at times!!! ☺️💜
Ur skin looks great now
THANK YOU ❤️
Acne wont return after cut doxymycine ??
I hope doxycycline can cure my acne too 💔
sending you the best of luck 🍀just know that there's something out there that WILL work for you ❤️
Greta Jane thank youuu 🥺🥺🥺
update?
1 pill a day or 2 ???
I am using doxycycline without a doctors advice . Is it safe
No
I think I’m on my third week on this medication and my cheeks smooth with scars would it fade away?
I have experienced the same thing! With time it should fade. I've found that clindamycin gel has helped a lot :) You could ask your dermatologist about it if you're curious!
So I’ve been taking doxycycline for 2 weeks 100 mg twice daily, do you think I could drop my dosage to just take 100 mg once a day
Definitely ask your dermatologist! :)
Does doxycycline help with acne scarring and pigmentation cause i had it for two weeks now and i dont see much of clearance😭 i was prescribed this medicine since my acne is so worse😭😭
Doxycycline on its own won't necessarily help pigmentation and scaring, but there are two prescribed products I use that have really helped with my skin: SulfaCleanse, this is a sulfur based face wash and it's seriously AMAZING! And Clindamycin which is a topical antibiotic that has dramatically improved my redness. Again, both of these products are prescription products so you'll need to ask your dermatologist about them :) I'll be doing lots of skin related videos this year so stay tuned!!
did the clindamycin give u any breakouts cause my derm also prescribed that gel to me and im scared its gonna make me break out
I started 5 days ago wish me luck too!!!❤❤❤
How is it I started two days ago 😩
Permanent??.
For how long did u take the medicine?
I took it for one month! I really didn't want to take it for any longer than that because of how harsh it can be on the body :)
Can you reply please how many years do you suffer from acne before taking Doxy
My acne was really bad for about 6 months before taking it
Greta Jane how old are when you have acne and how old are you starts taking the pill?
@@jasminebriannatabanao4825 I'm pretty sure I was 16 when I had the acne and when I took doxycycline. I only took it for about a month and a half though :)
Is it ok to drink doxycycline for a long period of time
not for a prolonged period of time. Talk to your doctor!
i started taking doxy from today...and i have been searching all over the internet about its side effects and and iam super nervous if my acne would come back after i stop taking it.
Listen to how your body responds to it and if it makes you feel sick, then I would stop taking it! Make sure you're taking it with food and water at the same time everyday :) Probiotics are really good to add in too when you're on any antibiotic! It's always possible for the acne to come back, and usually if it does, that tells us that there's something else triggering it that the doxycycline doesn't help, like diet (sugar and dairy can be triggers), exercise, environmental factors, and lifestyle. It's totally worth giving the doxycycline a chance, but these other factors are super important to look at too, especially if the doxycycline doesn't work or the acne comes back. Wishing you all the best! 🤍

Also does it make your skin purge?
I don't think it's supposed to, and in my experience it didn't :)
What music did you use @ 11:00 ?
It's called crystal child by Vexento :)
I have started mine, but it’s getting worse
I have to mix it with a little bit of water and honey because i cant swallow capsules, and thats so sad, like the taste is so worst, but i know its worth😊
Did anyone experience hair loss as a side effect
Yes!!!
my first day wish me luck I'm so scared yet excited🙈🥺
Wts ur skin update right now??
It worsens our acne in first 2-3 weeks then it starts clearingup but i want to know does it gives acne back after stopping the medicine
I’m at one month on doxycycline and my skin is worse than it was before I began.
Ugh! I'm so sorry to hear that. It's so frustrating that something can work really well for one person, and have opposite effects on someone else. Wishing you all the best ❤️
I took it for a year and it does take a while to get results and sometimes it does just break out but the doctor stopped prescribing me the pills and my skin just got bad and I’m back on it now and I will update
How is your skin now?
si sal I’m off them now my skin just got worse I’m going back to the doctors next week or something and going on maybe birth control I will update if u want .
Sure ! Cause I am taking this med and I don't want to not working well or get break out !! Ugh I'm confused about it.
I am afraid to keep taking it for nothing and to get worse
si sal I would take them for one more week I think my problem was I had them for a year before and my hormones have developed I’m off them now and my skin is getting better . I was only on them for a week and I was having sick symptoms from before so it’s better off
Did you take doxycycline pills twice a day? Also we’re you taking 100 mg of the pills
How long is it recommended to take doxycycline for ?
The usual recommendation is 3 months. I decided to take it for just 1 though :)
Wanted to take acutane but my doctor recommended this first. Im getting mine today i hope it’ll work🥰
update please ???🥲
The pill is twice a day right
I took 1 daily, but it depends on the dosage prescribed to you. Talk with your doctor to get your correct dosage :)
100mg / 1day ?
How much mg per day ?
I think 150 mg!
You're adorable omg
Awhhh HAHA THANK YOU ❤️
Try using turmeric mask to clear up the acne scars it’ll really work
that's very interesting! Do you make it or buy it pre-made?
Greta Jane I buy it from a friend that makes it at home. You can buy it off her if you DM her @alchemytreats on Instagram. She makes vegan treats but also makes natural skincare products. Or you could also make it yourself if you google it. There are no side effect because it’s perfectly natural.
@@BlackNoiseCat I'll have to look into it! thank you so much! 🤗💕
does doxycycline help at all with pigmentation problems?
I’m a month into it, it doesn’t . The pigmentation goes after no new acne arises. It’s just annoying heAring that acne returns after the Doxycyline
i started mine tonight 😀
pubmix me too
You are pretty 😊
I have to take doxycycline daily lol
Prescribed by a doctor cause I have a skin condition
Good job mate
i started taking it today
Starting my meds today! I hope I remember to update my results after some weeks ;>
Update?
Any updates?
@@sefriouiboutaina9277 hi yes. My acne has noticeably gone down by a lot. However, I do get random acne breakouts once in a while! The meds are definitely working though
im on almost two months and i have no good results my skin got kinda better then it got worse again
That's frustrating! Everyone's skin is so different, so what works for some doesn't work for others. I hope you find something that works for you soon :)
Good video. :)
Thank you!!!
I Just Started My Journey Today Wish Me Luck 🍀
Your skin is looking so amazing now Greta! Also, I miss you and your family! Text me on Snapchat and let’s catch up:)
Aw! Thanks Katy :)
when do you notice doxyccyline was working
It takes 1-2 months and at beginning it worsens our acne
