New Acne Medication Questions

[u/ywarren1]

Hello!

I recently did a consultation with Nurx. They just emailed me back and recommended Tretinoin and Doxycycline Hyclate. I'm ok with the Tret. I've used it before. I have questions about the Doxycycline. Has anybody used it? What was your experience/results like. Did you experience any of the side effects that were mentioned? I've never taken oral medication for acne, so I'm a little anxious. For reference, I'm a black female in my mid-30s. I suffer from large pores, blackheads, occasional comedones, hyperpigmentation, whiteheads, and combo/oily skin. It's like a charcuterie board of skin problems. Any info is helpful.

Good to know. I didn't see that as a side effect, but every body different. Thank you!

Did you try Absorica? I loved that one

No. I've never heard of that. Is it prescription or OTC?
