General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Doxycycline needs some time to start working. Your acne might start improving within 2 weeks, but it can take up to 12 weeks (or 3 months) to see the full benefit of the treatment. I suggest to use the treatment at least two weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
