Hello, Lili! How are you?
It really depends on what type of acne you have, some of it is bacterial and can be treated with antibiotics. The most commonly used one in the U.S. is Doxycycline, it's usually take in a very low dose, once daily for several months.
The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
Your doctor should be able to help you determine what the proper solution for you would be.
Sometimes, women get hormonal acne and that requires a different type of treatment.
Is there anything else I can help with?
