Hey guys! It's been 4 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

Truly is. 😌
@@greta_jane hey can u use cetaphil cleanser while taking this pill i just got on it
@@nicrew264 yes :)
@@greta_jane how long will i notice that it’s working ?
I‘ve cried a lot for my acne. Every day it seems to get worse but luckily yesterday I finally got doxycyline from the doctor. I'm very curious about the results and your videos really make me feel better. Thankyou for that!❤️ You are (AND WERE) beautiful btw and I’m happy it worked for you. Acne really is awful.
I can totally relate to you!! I had so many nights when I would just breakdown and cry because I was so frustrated with my skin. Luckily my skin Is doing much better at the moment, and I'm really grateful for that. Thank you SO SO much for your kind compliments. Remember that your kindness outshines your acne. I hope you find that doxycycline works for you! Keep me updated, I'd love to hear how it goes!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@greta_jane You're so sweet
I’m getting doxycycline and I was just wonder how your experience is going from it?
Soof L how is your acne right now? since it’s been about 2 months lol
how did it work?
I have been taking doxycycline pills for one month already now. On the first weeks my skin looks like improving so much but the last three days I started to have a lot of breakouts. I was happy to had a clear skin before schools starts but now it got worse when only one week left for school. You gorgeous girl gave me so much hope and hopefully my skin will be better soon🤞
If doxycycline doesn't end up working for you, I'd recommend pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) instead! I've used it recently to clear my skin .... here's a link to a video where I talk about it: th-cam.com/video/3HDdUwQJN8s/w-d-xo.html
It's so frustrating when things work or only work partially, but just know that there are definitely things that will heal your skin whether it be diet, supplementation, reduction in stress, etc. You'll find your healing! Wishing you all the best!!
@@greta_jane thank you so much. I will try the product you recommended me.
To keep a routine I get up at 7, eat something small like a granola bar or hard boiled egg and my vitamins and then at 9:30 I have an alarm set to take my first dose of doxyclycine and it helped with the nausea soooo much! Then I take it again at 9:00pm 2 hours after I’ve had dinner. I’m only on my first week but I have already noticed a difference in the redness and size of my blemishes
Routine is so important!! Thank you for sharing ❤️ It's so exciting to hear that it's working for you too!! 🤗☺️
you look so much happier now!! you can totally see the difference from then to now, i’m so happy for you :)) i just started on doxy and i hope it works as well as it did for you
hey! do you have any updates? :)
@@sarasugawara2507 unfortunately i went on it for a month and it just made my skin worse and worse i’m gonna start accutane tomorrow i’m so nervous but excited
I started my first dose today! I've been battling with acne for 7 years!!! I'm so excited to be liberated from acne because it makes me so insecure :( hopefully doxy gets rid of my acne!
Have you seen any improvement, or how has your journey been going? I start my first dose today also, so I’m just wondering sort of what to expect!
@@liamstz1284 so far its only been 2 weeks but ive seen major improvement! a lot of my cystic acne has cleared up. I also use topical lotions so those make my face dry, but overall, my skin is glowing. my treatment is for 3 months so I have a way to go but its going good so far! good luck with your journey, keep me updated! :)
@@lusinekazarian646 how much?🥺 I been dealing with badddd acne on my cheeks and have horrible acne scars as well
@@kyliaspencer4897 honestly doxy is helping a lot! I love the improvement. my skin hasn't been this good since I was 13! see your dermatologist, and see if they recommend it for you!
@@lusinekazarian646 I want to go to a dermatologist soo bad but dealing with school and stuff I’m little broke 😭😭
This might be TMI (or not idk) but this stuff is GREAT at getting rid of body acne. For whatever reason, I started to form painful cysts in various places on my body and some minor acne on my face and arms. Not only did 2 weeks of doxycycline take down a huge infected cyst i had, but it also made my face so smooth. I think they gave me a super high dose though. The only side effect I had was severe skin peeling on my hands and feet which was pretty scary but that cleared up a month later or so. I thought I should share because not many people have mentioned body acne here on TH-cam :) hope this can help someone scrolling through the comments
Took doxycycline for 2 weeks, not for acne, but for a different bacteria infection.
My skin as well started peeling on my hands and feet. Started googling and found out doxycycline causes Stephen Johnson Syndrome and TENS which is severe. It's a well known side effect in which doctors hardly talk about or know anything about.
It's an allergic reaction.
I'm now waiting on my skin to get better since I stopped the medication, and I'm waiting on my doctor to see what she can prescribe to me since I'm allergic to the cillin and cline family.
I'm so glad I saw your comment.
I have a chronic bacterial infection ON MY FACE of all places but every time it comes and I get my Doxy prescription I have clear skin.
I was just prescribed doxycycline hopefully this shit works. Been depressed from this bs
SAME! Maskne

@@LHeaven wait, what kind of skin do you have, oily or dry? If you know...I'm struggling hard rn
@@coonhead3479 id say oily because im going thru puberty
I’m 27 and for some reason I started breaking out really bad, I’ve never had to deal with acne before. Never had acne in my teens occasional pimples, but my face was basically clear all of my life. I started getting horrible breakouts and still don’t know why. I couldn’t control it, it was frustrating and it was affecting me mentally. Went to the doc and got prescribed doxy and benzoyl peroxide. For now have not experienced any side effect, no nausea, no dizziness, as of now no breakouts(knock on wood). I’ve been able to control it in just six days, still get some small pimples, but not getting 5 huge pimples a day. Currently taking one pill of 100mg doxy a day. We’ll see how it goes. Will try to update my results here.
My skin routine, meds and vitamins:
Cerave benzoyl peroxide cleanser
Cerave morning lotion
Cerave retinol
Cerave night lotion
Vitamin A
Vitamin E
Zinc (take with food alone)
Doxycycline 100mg (take with food alone)
Update pls!!!
Currently on week 5, my face has almost cleared up, still get occasional pimples, but they are extremely small and easy to get rid off. The only side effects it’s that My face feels itchy sometimes, but its not bad. Even people from work have noticed how my face has changed from a few months ago. Also never went through purging. So yeah, it has been going well.
Still taking the same supplements and using the same acne products
@@jan8135 just updated :D
@@gohan5123 I’m so happy to hear that its been working well for you!! I’ve just completed one week and my skin looks worse but I’m not sure if thats because of doxy or just my skin in general. Your update is giving me so much hope though :) Thank you for updating!!!
Awesome! I wonder why my dr only prescribed me doxy for 3 weeks
you just gave me so much hope! i started my first pill today and i hope to see results like you! thank you for all this info! 💖
Wishing you all the best with your experience! 💕

I took my first pill on today!
@Jasper Toet my face is peeling badly! But my acne is definitely improving
I just took my first pill and my stomachs hurting but I’ll soldier through it I want my acne to go away
@@Moe-os7sg make sure to take it with food. Yes you will have stomachaches which hurts like hell
@@ryankang8195 I didn’t take it with food and I’m now realizing the mistake I made 😭😭😭 my stomachs killing right now i will make sure the next pill is with food
I had a liquid form of doxycycline (I can't take pills), and 8 months later and my skin has never been better. I don't have breakouts, and if I do, it's just one pimple. I used to say, "Oh, how can someone complain about ONE pimple? I have hundreds." And now I understand, haha. I'm so scared to get off of it, though, and then have my face go back to how it was.
I'm so happy you got your clear skin! Let me know how it goes when you go off it! Wishing you all the best ❤️☺️
Greta Jane I got off it And my skin got rlly bad again so I’m back on it
I'm did you have any side effects? Just wondering...
Erika Z From the medicine or from not taking it? I haven’t taken it for 5 months, and I get a few pimples here and there, but it’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be. :) I’ve also been trying to use more face masks and take care of my skin more.
Wait, you've take it for the course of those 8 months? Ahh. That's kind of scary lol. I didn't know antibiotics for long-use was prescribed like that... antibiotic resistance is real & probiotics are so needed.
I feel like the reason you’re throwing up because you haven’t eaten anything before drinking it. You need to eat something before drinking this lol
trust me i been through it :-,()
seriously? ive been drinking the pill after i eat something. and my acne has been increasing :(
@@heeeycamiloo7043 it’s supposed to get worse before it gets better
@@heeeycamiloo7043 there's a purging phase
i just got mine today, I've had acne for 5 years i cant wait to try it
Wishing you the best of luck 🍀💕 keep me updated on how it goes!
Update
how did it go?
make sure to use spf when taking this, it made me sooo sensitive to the sun, especially on my hands and feet. i also lost weight on this because it made me sick if i ate anything before it, so i didn't eat until school lunch. i was on ampicillin for 2 years before it started being ineffective and my dermatologist switched me to doxycycline, which i was on for 6 months, my derm switched me back to ampicillin after severe sun burns:/ i've been on ampicillin for the last year and only take it 3 days per week now
When I got diagnosed with HSV 2 it was hell for me, had the worst days, Mental breakdown, crying not eating or sleeping either. I was restless looking for alternatives to get rid of this virus in my system. not until I stumbled upon a video on TH-cam about Dr. Aloha’s Herbal Medication and how effective they are. I reached out to him through his email: Alohaherbalhome@gmail.com and followed the instructions given on how to use the Herbal Medication. To my greatest surprise, it worked perfectly and today makes it a month and two weeks of testing Negative to HSV 2 after making use of his Organic Herbal Medication. It’s so amazing regaining my health back to normal and ridding my body of Herpes. Thank you so much 🙏 You can as well Contact Dr. Aloha through his email: Alohaherbalhome@gmail.com or WhatsApp +1(202)871-3222.
It’s only been 4 days but it has my skin very sensitive to the sun. I apply sunscreen everyday as part of my skincare routine, but I now have a bad sunburn on my face due to the drug making my skin more sensitive to the sun. I’m thinking of discontinuing it because of this reason but I’m scared my acne will start coming back 😭
girl your skin already looked better on the 5th day
this routine really did work quite quickly for me, I think I just got lucky with its effectiveness! I'll have my new skincare routine coming in the future ☺️
Yay, your almost at 200k and thanks, this is what u need for My acne
yay! Almost 2,000 🙃☺️ You guys are the best!!! I hope the video was helpful ❤️
hi guys, I started using doxycycline and benzoyl peroxide, I don't have very bad skin I just have bumps here and there on my cheeks and forehead I did start using aspect another good skin care for awhile but I stopped using it as it didn't rlly help.. I'm putting updates down below...
day 1 - omg seeing a bit of a difference and my skin is dry but thats probably because of the benzoyl peroxide.
day 2- seeing a difference with my forehead the bumps are so much smaller and my skin feels a bit smoother.
day 3- the bumps are smaller but my skin is very dry.
day4- I was in the sun for awhile and I got such a bad sun burn but I put good sunscreen on.
day5- ok my skin hurts probably because I was in the sun to much and when I put aloevera on it stings like hell learnt to stay away from the sun.
day 6- bruh my skin hurts as helllll and is very dry I stopped using benzoyl peroxide for awhile but I'm seeing a difference my bumps are mostly gone BUT MY SKIN HURTS AHHHHH :(((
im probably going to give my skin a break since it hurts but so far no side affects of any sickness accept for the bad sunburns around my cheeks.
Day 7- my skin got rlly bad because it was dry and red but I rlly recommend using this treatment called white soft paraffin the doctor recommended it and it felt soothing and better and I had more moisture on my face and less dry.
Day 8- my skin is less dry
Day 9- went on the boat and put 50+ sunscreen on
Day 10- my skin isn’t red anymore yay and not dry as much! I’m sooo happy with the results of my skin it looks so good around my cheeks! I have literally none on my cheeks now !
Did ur redness go away?
Hey I just got my prescription for doxycycline. So you wash your face with benzoyl peroxide?? or put it on as a topical treatment or something? And are you still on doxy and how is it treating you?
I was about to sleep but i was thinking that i should write my experience about doxycycline and how i cleared my skin kn less than 2 months. So here i am. Last 2 and half months i popped my cyst acne and it starting so get worse. My mom said i will take to the doctor if that gets worse in few weeks. So my acne did get worse and then my mom is gon take me to the doctor so I refused becase i dont want people to look at my face. So yeah day later, my mom took me to the doctor and gave me doxycycline and said its just to clean the inside of the skin. Took it for 14 days and it cleared a bit. Now we went back, they gave me a benzoyl peroxide mixed with some kind of gel for the outside of my skin. I took both of them at the same time every night. DRINK THE DOXYCYCLINE 2 HOURS AFTER OR BEFORE YOU EAT SOMETHING BECAUSE IT WILL HEAL UR ACNE FASTER. So yeah whenever i drink the doxycycline, i feel dizzy and kinda want to throw up because it’s clearing up those bacteria from ur head to body. Sometimes i put ice on my face to fasten the heal and it kinda worked. The red spots disappeared. now i started washing my face with exfoliating face wash i used (nivea exfoliating face scrub) the blue one and it made my skin heal a lot faster. I used hot water to wash my face then applied the face scrub, massage it for minute or so and wash it with cold water. Do not scrub the towel to dry ur face . So i stopped using doxycycline last month. My acne disappeared and didn’t come back but im still using facewash and benzoyl peroxide. Dont eat or drink dairy if ur acne is worse.
I started on January 18 and my acne cleared on feb 20 or something.
BroWhyRUsoGay I just started today on the doxycycline and the epiduo benzoyl peroxide/adapalene cream. I really hope it helps within 2 weeks.
BroWhyRUsoGay how many times were you taking it and what grams what’s it ?
Kelvin Obeng my doctor gave me 100mg 28 capsules, so basically its 14 days course (2 capsules per day). When you’re done the 14 days go back to your doctor and he might give you something different than mine. And when the doxycycline doesn’t work well. They might give you accurate
I started taking it today. Hooefully I'll be able to clear these acne scars without having to worry about even more acne. 😭✨️
I took doxycycline and got massive headaches stomach pain 😂 it did clear up my skin but it wasn't worth it since the side effects
Did it come back worse when you stopped taking it?
@@jd7338 It came back but definitely not as bad. But I was lucky usually if you dont take the whole dose prescribed it will come back just as bad as before
@@LuisMartinez-fk3sf I get really bad stomach pains if i take Doxycycline on its own with water. If i take it after food i usually don't get the pain
@@RomDFX1 I always made sure to take it after eating and made sure I had plenty of probiotics but it just wasn't for me
I got awful stomach pain too😂
*today Is my 5th day on doxy (pill form) and I haven't noticed purging, BUT the thing is I've been using benzoyl peroxide before I even took doxy so I'm not sure if that's why I didn't purge bc the benzoyl peroxide made me purge already. I started using BP during Thanksgiving Break and my skin purged for about 3-5 weeks. After almost the first week the acne on my forehead went away and the acne on my cheeks didnt do much. As of now my forehead is completely clear from pimples but not dark spots :( my cheeks are doing better ever since + taking doxy but its TAKING FOREVER*
honey's audio potions hey how has your skin changed now?
I started one week ago. I didn’t have a lot of acne but it was starting to get worse than it was before. I woke up form a 2 hour long nap today and my face was full of acne but I think this is the “purging stage” so I’m hoping it’ll go away and get better soon
Is it better now?
Dee OMG yesss it has!! My skin is not clear but it looks so much better than it did last week and when I started the meds if I see any change in a week I’ll try to come back and update you !!
Paola Neri update?💖
Ruby Villicaña my skin broke out a lot yesterday but my dermatologist said that better results should be seen by 3 months so imma have to wait and see but it was good last week :)
Also guys if anyone is reading this PLEASE eat before you take the pill in order to prevent side effects I’ve made the mistake of not eating before I take the pill and I get really nauseous and really bad headaches
i was on doxycycline and it definitely cleared my skin up but i stopped using it cause it was giving me headaches now i’m noticing dark spots again so i might start using it again
When u were using it did your dark spots go away?
@@kari6098 it was slowly fading away yeah, but you have to stay consistent i didn't stay consistent.
@@misshunti hi!! How long did it take to start clearing up?

@@adamn4199 are u gonna take just like that?
Or are u gonna take it with a cream?
i’ve been on doxy for a week and a half and my acne in certain areas have gone away but new pimples are forming in different areas, my friend told me he broke out first but after about a month he saw great progress. is this true?
Yes! It always gets worse before it gets better because your face is detoxing of all the acne you had. I was so frustrated because I thought it was just making it worse but after research I found that it’s normal for it to get worse, than it gets better :) stay strong
J Axel57 can u tell me how long will it takes to get acne free after it gets worse
Ma Lena usually a couple weeks or maybe a couple months depending how bad your acne is, but just be patient! I would get so frustrated because it wasn’t working but little did I know it was all part of the process. Be patient and also stay consistent, good luck :)
J Axel57 omg thank u so much I’m on my third day and my skin is purging, I needed this❤️
Daniel how is your skin right now
I've been dealing with acne for a long time since I was in Elementry school and I'm now a freshman in high school. My acne is not as bad as yours was but I'm having similar problems that you had. I've used many products and I've been using proactive to help with my acne, but for the most part, I have been dealing it instead of trying to get rid of it. I've been thinking about going to the dermatologist and getting professional help. One of my older family friends used doxycycline and it helped her a lot so I've been thinking if I could go on it.
It's definitely worth a conversation with a dermatologist! I put off going to the dermatologist for a long time, but in the end, that's where I found a solution. Whatever works best for you though!! ☺️
I highly recommend you use something other than proactive because it has bad ingredients which can lead to more breakouts. I recommend cerave or differin😊
Hi did their ance come back after they stopped taking the doxy
Used this a couple years back when my acne was getting bad and it cleared my skin so much, stopped using it and it came back. So they prescribed me the medication again. Let’s see how it goes!
Update??
@@ver8o9nica54 since what this medication was an antibiotic prescription I had to stop taking them only because it was giving me problems down there (yeast infections), it’s common if one takes too much antibiotics for a long period of time. That happened to be my case. Doxycline apparently is one of the main antibiotics that can cause those problems for women. The antibiotic is getting rid of bad bacteria (acne), but it also gets rid of the good bacteria that a womens vg has, that can lead to infections such as bacterial vaginosis. So yes it helps with my acne, but unfortunately it was giving me problems so I had to stop taking them. Could be different for everyone! If you plan on using this I recommend doing your research, asking a doctor first (:
@@lizbethm.7571 Even thugh you stopped taking it, did your acne come back?
For no side effects while taking doxycycline,you must take it in the morning with a full glass of water avoid lying down for 30 minutes or more and remember to eat before you take it
You're supposed to take it after meal not on empty stomach
Hi I’m taking doxycycline for an infection not really for acne but I’m terribly emetophobic (scared of throwing up) and I was wondering if you had any tips because I’m freaking out a bit to start my prescription😰
I’m also in the comment for this also I’m emetophobic deciding so hard if I should take it or not please help
Okay so I took it but lost a lot of appetite I highly recommend taking it with food and being confident while you take it don’t be scared don’t be nervous take ur time until ur ready for it I promise you you won’t even feel side effects your brain can trick u with a lot of stuff I didn’t take mines until I was ready but if it’s urgent just go ahead and swallow it like nothing 🤝❤️
@@anastasiah6310 my acne is gone but body acne is still there and it started giving me a lot of headaches but I mean no nausea or anything you’ll be fine what will u be taking it for ?

thanks so much for sharing this girl 💜💜😭 btw ur gorgeous girlie
oh course!!! And thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️☺️
How have people kept their acne at bay post doxycycline treatment? Doxy works excellently for my acne, but when i finish treatment it comes back. Has anybody else experienced this, and if so, have you found a different long term solution? Thank you!
i’m on my 3rd day, this video made me hopeful 🤍
Wishing you the best of luck!!! Keep us updated on here!! 💜🦋
I’ve been on doxycycline and minocycline they both work well it usually will only
Take about a month or two for your skin to clear the problem is you can’t be on them forever because they harm the healthy bacteria in your body, for some people all they need is a round or two of antibiotics and their acne doesn’t come back for others you’re gonna need to implement topical medications from a dermatologist to keep your skin clear
Hi! just want to ask if the doxy also helps rid of acne marks? Thank you❤
Stephanie joy emberga usually no, I would highly recommend tretinoin which you can get from a dermatologist that makes a huge difference not only to clear skin but also for marks or any hyperpigmentation, a lot of times they will give you clindamycin to use a long with it which helps a lot too.
@@c19ANDRE oh thank you for answering😀 but currently i am using Differen gel(adapalene) so hoping that it will helps too! Acne is so stressful!😭
Stephanie joy emberga that should help before differin you could only get adapalene gel by prescription so it’s definitely high strength stuff
i just got prescribed doxy for a month and i’m starting today but i don’t have major acne i just have bumps on my forehead im scared that the doxy side effects will be worse than my bumps
mia lucii how has it been? I have same issue :(( mine isn’t bad only on chin but I’m nervous it will make me breakout
dustykitty77 it’s been great i don’t have anymore bumps, no side effects, and i’m only halfway through the month
샤흐노자 i currently haven’t had pills because of quarantine and i got a refill after the first month so i took it for 2 months and now i’m off of it, can’t wait till i get it again. i hate that it, the acne / bumps, come immediately after not taking the pills. and if you miss a day all the acne will come back
mia lucii hi are you still on this medication & how long did it take for your bumps to go please?
mia lucii was it very expensive?
My doctor prescribed doxycycline for one month and it’s helped my acne a lot but my acne is still not completely gone. I have to wait one week for a refill of the medicine will that affect anything.
Miriam A did you breakout at the beginning of taking it?
Did you try using a benzo treatment after taking the pill 💊
How’s ur skin now ?
It says to stay upright for 2hrs after taking it, so I can't take it at night lol cause after dinner I want to lay down
I have been taking another antibiotic before I started taking doxycycline is that the reason why I’m not seeing a difference in my skin
does this make anyone else's face itch? I've only been taking it for about a week but every blemish on my face is slightly itchy. Maybe that means it's working.
I thought I was the only one! My face itch every day & it’s hard not to scratch🤦🏽♀️
Started 6 days ago, it makes it hella itchy. I just try to ignore it.
Ya it will itch
Yeah mine too. I believe it’s because it’s drying all the bacteria, since it’s dry it tends to become itchy. More so my back than my face.
Yes omg it itches like hell, and I'm getting new bumps too
Is it okay to smoke weed while using it
Lmaoooo 😭 Im sorry Idk, this was just a random funny comment to me
i think so but you can’t drink😢

I noticed my acne improve significantly just from 1 take of Advil/Ibuprofen because I had an upset stomach & wanted pain relief lol, but it healed the inflammation in my acne (which I started to think was comedonal acne but I really just have had inflammatory acne because 1 cystic pimple when I was 16 years ago- am nearing my 20s now- was what started my acne journey 😪| it opened my mind up to considering antibiotics but I really stay choosing the longer route of what's my root cause & all I get is how it's related to stress but there's nothing I can do about that other than change my sleeping habits permanently). Nonetheless, am glad it's worked for you! It is possible to come back but at least it can go away with antibiotics.
That's interesting! I totally respect you choosing to take the longer route of finding the root cause of your acne. It was hard for me to finally make the decision to take antibiotics for my acne because I really wanted a more natural route to work. Luckily the antibiotics were effective and I haven't had any major breakouts since, and now I try to manage my skin not only through topical skin care but also through diet and just in general, paying attention to what effects my skin :) Wishing you all the best! I'd love to hear how things go as you get closer to that root cause! ❤️
@@greta_jane Thank you so much! Honestly antibiotics are another great option, sometimes it truly is needed before even getting into anything else; always is best to find what best works for you personally, I appreciate your feedback! Well regards to you as well.
So my doctor prescribed me 1 capsule of doxycycline for a day but irdk when would be the appropriate time to take it-morning or evening? Someone please help :(
I'd take it every evening with dinner (always take it with food!) Set an alarm on your phone to remind you to take it at the same time everyday :)
please tell me about your routine....... how much tablet do you take one day and which quantity(mg)?
I dont have extreme acne just in the areas I shave.(Cyst). I been taking Droxy for 3 days. Its been makeing my stomach upset. If you get that side effect from your experience should you keep taking it?
Your stomach is probably upset because you can not take this on an empty stomach or just with a snack. The first time I took it I did not eat anything and I felt sick... I ended up throwing up... Then I later on took it after a meal and felt fine.
@@jemyawilson3359 yes, definitely take it after a meal. Probiotics are helpful too!!
@@Raquel-cq2jf both!! I took my probiotics in the morning with breakfast and doxy in the evening with dinner :)
I took my first pill today June 3rd 2020 I’m on (100mg) one tablet a day, I’ll keep ya’ll updated.
Hahah me too and I’m also on epiduo so we’ll see how this goes
Lauren Salapong how’s it going for you so far, my skin is definitely purging ( it’s my 5th day on the pill)
Lala Land same it’s my 5th day too!! My skin hasn’t changed a lot actually I’m breaking out a little though
Lauren Salapong it’s my 8th, I’m not seeing any changes legit crying right now I feel like giving up
Lala Land noo don’t give up! my skin looks the same too don’t worry it’s only been a week, just give it some time
starting ot today, was kinda skeptical of it, just because of the side effects but ill keep anyone updated if they wanna know.
its been about an hour and honestly, I feel okay, my throat is a lil dryer than what it was before i took the pill but ig its suppose to do that
@@anastasiah6310 i havent had any side effects at all, i was told at least to expect a dry mouth but i havent had that at all
@@Zack-wb6ll update on your skin?
@@nazzz4787 its been clearing up, but i was told to expect actual change in a month all thats really left is some scarring when i use to pick them on my shoulders
@@anastasiah6310 haha i havent had any actually, just eat it with food but everyone reacts to it differently
Hey i really hope you answer it would be so helpful, but did you take one or two a day?
I just took one a day but you'll have to talk to your doctor for your personal dosage :)
Can you please tell me duration of using Doxycycline how much time you use
I've also brough doxycycline capsule recently from my doctor.. Hope it works😥💖
Does this drug do the purge phase like accutane? And does it help with the dark spots/ hyperpigmentation while healing acne ?
I didn't personally experience a purge phase, but that's something you could ask your dermatologist. From what I understand, doxycycline prevents you from getting more acne so that the acne that's there has a chance to heal. So while the doxycycline itself might not help with dark spots, it would give your other skincare a chance to work its magic 😉🤗 I hope this helps!! Wishing you all the best ❤️
Greta Jane thank you!!
what time did you take the probiotic? Before taking your doxy or after? How long did you wait before taking the probiotic? Im getting doxy today so im so nervous!! Thank you
On healthline it says Probiotics should also be taken after a course of antibiotics in order to restore some of the healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. And it’s also says to take probiotics and antibiotics a few hours apart, I personally take it after doxy. Also fermented foods are also great for good bacteria. www.healthline.com/nutrition/what-to-eat-antibiotics#section2
I personally took a probiotic every day that I took the doxy! I took my probiotic in the morning, and my antibiotic at night :) It's good to continue the probiotic after you've finished the antibiotic to replace your good bacteria in your gut ☺️ How has it been going?? Keep me updated!!
@@greta_jane its been going great so far! i dont break out terribly anymore and I just have a few spots, no more cysts! My doc has me on it for another month and i'm excited to see more progress :) The only thing is that I have lots of hyperpigmentation..but anything is better than those painful cysts hahaha
@@connynuristani6302 YAY!! That's so exciting! You should ask your doctor about clindamycin, it's a topical antibiotic that has helped me a lot with hyperpigmentation, and calming redness. I'm wishing you the best of luck as you continue!! Keep me updated ❤️☺️
@@greta_jane which probiotic u take
i’ve been taking it for a month and it’s the same if not a little worse and i’m just hoping it’ll work
how is ur skin now?
Did you use a moisturizer? I have naturally oily skin and once I stopped using a moisturizer it seemed to work better. My skin isn’t dried out, but I feel I should use one. I’m wondering your thoughts on if I should or should not use a moisturizer?
you should always moisturize
I just got it prescribed, and I’m so scared. I just want clear skin by the end off summer! I think that it won’t work and comeback if it would work, before summer.. People that have gotten accutane has had better acne then me, but I got this? I didn’t even like the doctor
I just got on it too and I’m scared if it does work, my acne will come back when I’m done.
s ): I’m thinking off being on it for a month or 2 weeks, my mom said that she could call the doctor then. Cause if it didn’t work or I didn’t like it (doctors words) I would get on accutane/roaccutane (I didn’t hear him really but I think that’s what he said).
I just got on too! I have cystic acne and at this point i just want my skin to be clear idc what side effects it has.. im planning to be on it for a while tho bc usually it takes more time for ppl with really bad acne.. lets hope doxycycline works tho bc accutane has really severe side effects and requires a perfect health timeline (which i unfortunately dont have hdjf)
Be grateful that the doctor prescribed you an antibiotic, which is more effective than topical treatments most of the time. As you said it was just prescribed, so give it a chance before you go and say you don’t like someone who is trying to help you. 🤨
BALLINBANGTAN You’re not even in my situation, so who do u think u are to judge?
Hello this was very informative and a great video! I am an 18yr old who started this medication today. About 9 months ago I had the best skin , literally nothing near acne and I’m at a point where it’s literally the worst. I’ve tried every over the counter medication including others and nothing’s helped, this is pretty much my last resort , I’m super scared of acne scars and other face discoloration, after how long did you notice an improvement and a step closer to Changing for the better ?
I know taking these perhaps isn’t the best for your body so I simply want to take enough for myself to get rid of it .
Hello! I would talk to your dermatologist to find the best thing for you, and as someone who also didn't want to take more then I really needed, I would recommend trying it for just one month ☺️ Wishing you all the best! Let me know if I can help you with anything else❤️
Did you have any side effects? Also if you did what dosage did take?
first day taking it. will update below. gotta take it 3 times per day
i'm starting in a few days too!! good luck :))
3 times holyy they told me to take it only once a day
Ksanaks it’s only 50mg tho so like 1.5 the normal amount in total
did you get nauseous while taking it? i’m supposed to start taking doxycycline but many people say they feel nausea and i’m really scared:(
@@notnicoly it depends you can't really know without trying it, personally i don't feel anything at all.
i have steroids acne. I consulted a dermatologist last July 6. its been a week since then but the acne is still there although it slowly healing if I will notice nothing will change.I will go for the doxy. i dont know what will I do. should I take the pill?
I'd follow what your dermatologist prescribed!
Okie guys I started doxycycline today I’ll keep you guys updated ;)
Me too
hiii do you get nauseous when you take it? because i’m supposed to start taking doxycycline but i hate the feeling of being nauseous and a lot of people say they felt nausea and i’m really scared:(
Nicoly Dos Santos buy bacterium vitamin complex like Lacto Forte, they are a lot, to decrease side effects that caused by disbacteriosis
Nicoly Dos Santos Also take in with food always, because it increases bioavailability
@@notnicoly i know this is late but i take a probiotic with mine and it helps a TON
any othr benifits other than acne? my pimples pops (especially on forehead,chin,mouth area)out every week and it continues for a month though the no. is not quite large,its around 5,6 ....but it isnt like urs!! So can i have take tis medicine?? plizz someone out there.....need help ,,here its so frustrating!! plizz
Hello! You should talk to your doctor or dermatologist to find the best treatment option for your skin type :)
Hey I have mild acne and blackheads I am going to take it for 20 days first, I haven't taken it yet, I'm thinking about it, my dermatologist told me my face would become a little clear after 20 days, after reading reviews I'm a little scared, I would stop it if my skin starts getting worse but will my skin get even worse if I stop it? Also, I have irregular periods usually.
Ask ir dermatologist if you could get pills.
Do you just cleanse and moisturize now that it’s gone and your off the pill ?
Now I cleanse with a sulfur based face wash, spot treat with benzoyl peroxide, and moisturize :)
@AIG my cleanser is prescribed. It's called Sulfacleanse. There are some over the counter cleansers that have sulfur in it, but this one seems to work quite well!! ☺️
I’m am currently on it but for some reason I keep getting a yeast infection..
Antibiotics do that.
OMG ME TOO 😭.. I HAVE HAD 2 YEAST INFECTIONS TAKING THIS ANTIBIOTIC 😭😭😭
Did you stopped it already? I also get that while taking doxycycline 😭
Iam also using this medicine through 1 week I got a little bit swelling on my face and I also use neem powder is there any side effects using of neem powder on face while using this medicine
definitely check with your doctor! :)
Your skin is beautiful!
Did you have acne on your back and chest ?
My acne was just on my face :)
Hey guys I’m about to start taking doxycycline today🥺 I’ll keep you guys updated (my acne is severe)
Bro please reply what is the result
Hanfan Fbsn right now my skin is purging a little 😭 but not as bad as I’ve had before, but I’ve been noticing differences, like my forehead is not bumpy
I was on accutane and they put me on doxycycline because my acne came back
OminousMailbox6 i still have acne but it’s not as bad, hopefully it gets better by the end of this month
Yareli H update ?
Maybe u won’t reply but what happens if I skip 2 days ?
How many do you use a day?
I took 1 daily, but it depends on the dosage prescribed to you. Talk with your doctor to get your correct dosage :)
i don't get how you can take it for a month and the acne goes away permanently? confused
For me I took it for a month and it helped my acne go away. Then what you do topically helps maintain it :)
please guide me about your quantity you take daily?
Did you purge the first few weeks?
I just started using yesterday and there are some two pimples which came out last night. It’s normal or i should just be patience ?
It's normal, but check in with your dermatologist with any questions or concerns!! :)
Greta Jane ok thnx
Hm mine is 50mg and typically you want to keep low doses for antibiotics to reduce antibiotic resistance.
i just used mine today i will see how it goes
what are foods you shouldn’t eat during this ??
As far as I know, there aren't really any foods you need to avoid that would interact with the medication. But some people see a change in their skin if they take out dairy and sugary foods from their diet. Talk to you dermatologist 🙃❤️
I’ve heard this makes you sleepy is that true ?
Hi! Do you still have clear skin tanks to doxycycline? And which brand of probiotics do you take?
My skin is still clear :) It's definitely in part from when I took doxycycline, but also finding topical treatments that work well for me :) I took the Flora probiotic!
@@greta_jane Thank you for answering!!
What probiotic did u used.. Plz share.. Also did u go on a sugar free or dairy free diet.. What else changes did u made
I didn't do any diet changes! I just tried to eat cleaner :) Here's a link to a probiotic I like thrivemarket.com/p/flora-adults-probiotic
Its also great to cut out dairy, consume lots of antioxidants (berries, tea, matcha, leafy greens) and eat lots of probiotics other than just supplements (yogurt or dairy free yogurt, smoothies with probiotics, kombucha) and always take doxy with a full glass of water, on a full stomach, and stay upright at least 30 minutes to an hour. Also, spearmint tea can help hormonal acne. And dont consume soy, try ripple milk instead if going dairy free, soy has to much estrogen and will make acne worse.
how to I take this medication? do I take 2 pills in one meal?
You're going to have to talk to your dermatologist/doctor for specific directions :)
How much capsule do you take in aday??
Did any of you get a yeast infection while taking this antibiotic?
Yes
Hiiii pretty! I have been eating doxcycline for almost 4days and all the pimples getting out much than before i take it. Is that purging process? Because my people keep coming out and im so scared rn. Why is it ya? Can you rply me
Disclaimer: I'm not a dermatologist but that it probably the purging process. Doxycycline, like most acne fighting antibiotics take usually at least one month to see significant results.
hello! Many people say that they experience a purging phase in the beginning of taking it. definitely talk to your doctor or dermatologist with specific questions though! ☺️
We have to swallow the whole pills right?
Does Doxycycline heal acne scars?
Nopr
Hi Greta! And everyone else! I started this about a week ago. No change yet. I’ve been taking it on an empty stomach because I thought I was supposed to. How did you take it? And did you take it with topical treatments? If so which? And what soaps/cleansers/toners? I’ve been using the body shop tea tee foaming wash but I’m not sure if it’s doing anything
Hello!! It's normal to not see much change within the first week. I took it every night for one month with food (right after dinner)! I was also using a sulfur based face wash called sulfacleanse (you can get it from your dermatologist) a topical antibiotic called clindamycin, and a basic clinique gel moisturizer. This system worked really well for me, but definitely talk to a dermatologist for what would be best for you!!! Wishing you all the best ❤️🍀
Greta Jane thank you! I’m on retin a top do you think I can use sulfacleanse with retin a?
@@eniolalamar9340 I think so, but definitely talk to you dermatologist! :)
Take it after food... It takes time for rescult
What dose did you take
thank you so much for the video❤️I started using it today, I took my first pill and I was told to take one pill everyday directly after having lunch. I’ve been so insecure about my acne so I hope this helps me🥺
Wishing you all the best 💕🍀 don't let your acne make you forget how beautiful you are inside and out 💜 Keep me updated!!!
Greta Jane omg you’re so kindddd🥺🥺🥺thank you
Greta Jane I’m on my third day and my skin is purging so badddd
@@lalaland3785 give it some time! I didn't personally go through a purging phase, but I know a lot of people have said they have. Talk to your dermatologist if you're concerned though!! :)
Greta Jane I’ll give it time but if it stays that way I’ll talk to my dermatologist❤️
Does Doxy affect brain ? im using it for acne for 3 months and every night i feel weird like its not me
definitely talk to your doctor!!!
@@greta_jane Damn... im scared now its been 3 months already
I got doxycycline today! Can’t waitttt
Let me know how it works for you :) Wishing you all the best!!!
I’ve been on 100mg doxycycline everyday now for a month and a half and haven’t noticed anything. Super frustrating
that is super frustrating. It's interesting how different our skin reacts to different treatments. As a holistic nutritionist, I might guess that there's some root cause of your acne causing the doxycycline to not work effectively. What I'm saying is that something else is at play (it could be related to diet, or hormones, or environment, lifestyle, etc.) There's lots of potential natural treatments that could definitely help! Let me know if you'd like to know more 🙃
@@greta_jane I eat clean and drink a gallon of water a day so I don’t think it’s my diet. I’m guessing it’s hormonal. I also have been taking probiotics with the doxycycline though do u think that could be why?
@@hunterhulsing6685 That's great! It very well could be hormonal. The probiotics really shouldn't cause new acne. If you still haven't seen any improvement on the doxycycline I would come off of it so you're not over-doing it with an antibiotic for no reward. Acne is sooo frustrating!
I notice I get pimples doing or before my cycle. My acne is hormonal acne.
That's something that's very helpful to be in tune with! I'm actually reading some books right now about hormones and the different phases of the cycle. For hormonal acne, I wouldn't recommend an antibiotic like I talk about in this video. There's lots of different natural things to try!! the choice is always yours though 🙃
can someone pls tell me if it gets rid of acne scars too🥺🥺
Hey I knw it fights acne but I got mine from apostrophe with retional you should check it out it helped me clear my acne scare in 2 months I still have some acne scars but they are slowly faded but it is way better than before hope this helps u
I mean tretinoin
Nope it doesn't. All it does is stop or reduce inflammation. Try retinol and vitmanic c for hyperpigmentatiom
What's you skin care routine now ?
I'm kind of in the process of shifting it around to make it more natural, maybe I'll make an updated video soon! ☺️
Your skin is so much better ❤️ you look amazing. I have a question how did you get rid of the pigmentations??? Thx
Thank you!! Getting rid of the pigmentation just takes time. The Clindamycin antibiotic definitely helped calm things down, but I think more then anything it's letting your skin naturally turn over. 🙃❤️
Did you notice any weight loss or weight gain ?
no! As far as I know doxycycline shouldn't effect your weight. Talk with you dermatologist about possible side effects :)
i lost weight because it made me so sick i barely had an appetite:/
This is my third day on doxy and I think Im having an allergic reaction to it, its like having goosebumps everywhere and all offices are closed for the holiday, STRESS LEVEL 100..
oh no! is there a urgent care where you live? I hope you're doing all right!! 💕
those are hives, a common side effect. contact ur doctor
#LoveIceCream I did I stopped taking it.. thanks
@@michiloui9810 np! I think my doctor is gonna proscribed me some doxy. Hopefully everything goes well and acne will clear up! What did your doctor say when she found it , it was hives?
#LoveIceCream that it was an allergic reaction, to stop taking it continue and take Claritin once a day with the differen for now
