[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids do not have it severely but their dermatologist prescribed a combination of accuzone (benzyl peroxide higher strength) and adapalene .3% which works well. She said that the combination is important and one without the other does not work well.

[b]We haven't done the antibiotic but I have read that it is very targeted and only works on the bacteria that kills acne unlike the other antibiotics that you get for a sinus or other infection which have a broader range of what they kill. [/b][/quote]

Which antibiotic are you talking about? My daughter was prescribed regular ol doxycycline for acne. Is there a specific acne antibiotics?  I am super confused by this statement.[/quote]

My daughter is also taking doxycycline and has seen no results - has it worked for your daughter?  I’m planning on telling the doctor we want to stop.  She’s been taking antibiotics for too long.  We may start her on Accutane this summer and just be done with it.[/quote]
