Generic Name: Vibramycin for Acne (doxycycline)

Vibramycin for Acne Reviews

"I got off minocycline a month and a half ago after 6 months of successful treatment with it for my acne, and no side effects (mild to moderate inflamed acne here). Acne started coming back, so my derm put me on doxycycline (I use azelaic acid 15% once a day topically too). I've been only 4 days on doxy 100 mg twice daily, and my skin is completely clear again. Zero side effects with this as well. The inflammation subsided in just 2 days. It has saved my skin once again. Tetracyclines work so well for me, it's hard to get off of them."


"My 15 year old son has been using this to treat his acne because just the topical treatment was not working. I see a BIg improvement after using the Vibramycin for a month. It works."


"Worked for a short amount of time when use with Retin-A"
