How long does the treatment with minocycline last for it to be effective?

The treatment with minocycline can last between 2 to 8 weeks to be effective in reducing acne breakouts. It is recommended to use a moisturizing cream without fragrance at least twice a day, avoid using soap on the face, protect the skin from the sun with a sunscreen of at least SPF 30, and take other non-pharmacological measures to improve the appearance of acne scars.
