I had never even heard of it, but I just searched and saw it's minocycline - an antibiotic.. It's a step above OTC acne treatments, and it will work for some people, but it's not a guarantee, as not everyone responds the same way to antibiotics.. If your acne isn't that bad, you may do fine with it.. But if you don't get the results you want, and the acne is that bad, then you should think about stepping it up to accutane..
