Best OTC acne treatment?

What is a good, effective medication (oral antibiotic; pill) for acne with minimal side effects?

  • a little long, but PLEASE HELP! i've had moderate acne for years now; i've tried a bunch of OTC face washes and creams without great results. i recently started using a higher end brand of face washes (DDF; salicilyc acid wash in the morning and benzoyl peroxide scrub at night with benzoyl peroxide gel for spot treatment) and my skin definitely improved, but still wasn't perfect. i went to the dermatologist and was prescribed finacea gel which i apply to my entire face twice a day- after washing my face in the morning and after washing my face at night (my derm said that i could still do my exact same routine w/ the face washes and even still use the benzoyl peroxide gel on top of the finacea for extra treatment). this gel has helped A LOT with fading red marks (big problem i had) and treating pimples much faster (ie shrinking and healing and redness fading in less time); however, i'm still GETTING new pimples, so as nicely as the medication is TREATING my pimples and fading the red marks that show up, it's just a cycle at this point- the point is, i want to NOT be getting pimples. i feel like my best bet is to use these topical products in conjunction with an oral medication. as a sidenote, about 8 years ago when my acne was much worse i started taking the oral antibiotic minocycline, and had an extremely rare adverse reaction to it (pseudotumor cerebri). i'm currently on various psychotropic medications (as i was at the time of taking minocycline) so i need to be a little cautious about potential reactions between medications. i really do feel that i'm only going to be able to achieve the good, healthy skin that i want if i'm treating it INTERNALLY as well as externally. i take lots of vitamins, fish oil, flaxseed oil, a multivitamin specifically for healthy hair and skin...so i'm really doing all that i can in terms of taking the natural route, AND am very rigid about my skincare routine. despite all of this, i continue to have consistent breakouts...i'm 21 years old, it's extremely embarrassing to still have acne and i just want to be able to feel confident and have great looking skin. any tips or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated! AND a big thanks if you took the time to read this!
