"I am 36 and in the past year began getting cystic acne on my chin, cheeks and temples.  The cysts were incredibly red, itchy, and painful. They never came to a head and seemed to never fully heal.  Because they wouldn't heal, I would pick at them.  Last week, I broke out with 17 at once.  I was very embarrassed,  got fed up and saw a dermatologist. He prescibed Doxycycline and Aczone 2x per day.  Amazing results in less than a week!  My 'wounds' are all dried up and I'm dealing with moderate peeling now.  It seems as though Aczone immediately remedied the redness. I only woke up with one new pimple, but it healed in 1 day."
