antibiotics for acne

Anyone have experience with this? I have never had acne problems I would get the occasional break out usually around TTOTM but lately it's been really bad.

I used proavtic for years and found it had stopped working for me. So I switched to Dermalogica Clean Start. I love it. It makes my skin feel so clean and refreshed. I have been using it since March and at first seemed like a miracle wash now I'm not so sure.

I have an appointment with a dermatologist later today and wanted any feedback on antibiotics. Monocyclin I hear is really good. I don't want harsh creams and stuff that will dry me out and make me look flakey.

and feedback?

Thank you everyone...

Roz thanks for the info about the Lupus. My mom has discoid lupus and I am not sure if it is hereditary but if so I am going to request to stay clear of it!
