Doxycycline is a powerful antibiotic that fights bacterial acne and helps calm the underlying inflammation. It’s used to treat lots of infections, but it’s very effective against breakouts caused by bacterial acne.
It comes as a capsule and you take it every day. This means that it could be a good option for you if you have sensitive skin, or if creams or gels haven’t worked. It’s much stronger and works across your whole system.
Doxycycline is a type of antibiotic called a tetracycline. It works by binding to the cells in the bacteria that cause acne, stopping them from making new proteins. This kills off the bad bacteria and stops new bacteria from growing. So it’s an effective way of fighting bacterial acne.
Doxycycline also helps with acne by bringing down inflammation. It does this by stopping inflammatory cells from being made and released. Inflammation is a major cause of bacterial acne, so Doxycycline’s anti-inflammatory effects stop it at its source. This should help reduce redness and inflammation caused by acne breakouts.
The usual dose recommended for acne is 50mg of Doxycycline once a day. Always take the dose recommended by your clinician. Don’t stop taking the medication without first talking to your doctor, even if your acne has cleared up – and never change your dose without speaking to a clinician first.
If your current dose isn’t working for you, you might need a higher one. If you’ve ordered through us, just log into your account and send us a message. Our clinician can see if a larger dose might be right for you, or if you need a different treatment.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body.

Your clinician will talk you through how to take Doxycycline before you start treatment. If you have any questions, just log into your account and message send us a message.
Doxycycline is absorbed by the body quickly. It reaches peak levels in your blood just two to four hours after you take a capsule. So it starts fighting the bacteria and inflammation causing your symptoms pretty fast. But when you’re taking it for acne, it can take some time for the effects to start showing on your skin.
You’ll usually take Doxycycline for acne for 6-12 weeks, depending on how severe your acne is. Many people see improvements after just a couple of weeks. But even when your skin starts looking better, you shouldn’t stop taking Doxycycline without talking to a clinician first.
If you forget to take your Doxycycline at your usual time, just take it as soon as you remember. If it’s less than twelve hours before your next capsule, skip the missed dose and carry on with treatment as normal. Don’t take twice your normal dose to make up for missing a capsule.
If you take too much Doxycycline, get medical attention. Take the packaging of the medication with you so they can see what you’ve taken and how much. If you’ve only taken one extra capsule, it’s unlikely to cause you any problems. Still, seek help if you have any worrying symptoms.
