Does Doxycycline work for acne?

I can say it yes. Doxycycline can give much improvement against acne. First, it kills the bacteria inside your body. Second, it dries up swollen acne papules. And third, it will prevent P. Acnes Bacterium from forming back.

However, Doxycycline can make your skin dry and sensitive to the sun. So, you should use a non-comedogenic and non-greasy moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. In addition, a better sunscreen with high level of SPF should be use to prevent sunburn.


You should also take into consideration that taking any antibiotic like Doxycycline without your doctor’s prescription can be a life threatening. Although Doxycycline can give you good results, it has side effects in rare cases.
