You are aware that most acne treatments take 8-12 weeks to work and if there is no improvement after 3 months then you should contact a healthcare professional to review treatment.

You are aware you should not use more than one type of the same topical (creams/gels/lotions) treatments at the same time- such as two different topical antibiotics or retinoids.

You are aware that if you have sensitive skin, it is important to start applying topical treatments such as retinoids, azelaic acid, or benzoyl peroxide every other day or once daily to allow your skin time to adjust and minimise irritation. A "purge" reaction, where breakouts temporarily worsen, can be normal and sometimes expected in the early stages of treatment. You can increase to twice daily if tolerated. If severe skin irritation occurs, you should reduce the amount or frequency of application, or temporarily stop using the product. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes during application.

You are aware oral antibiotics cannot be used with topical antibiotics at the same time and that when using an oral antibiotic you should use topical Benzoyl peroxide, Differin, Epiduo or Azelaic acid at the same time to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance. You are aware that all antibiotic treatments should generally not be used continuously for longer than 3-6 months without review, due to the risk of antimicrobial resistance.

You are aware that if you have or develop severe scarring, new or worsening symptoms or concerns, or psychological distress, or your condition is not responding to treatment then you should see your GP as soon as possible.

You are aware that if you take the medications Isotretinoin (Roaccutane), Lithium or have been diagnosed with Kidney disease, Liver disease, SLE or Myasthenia Gravis then you should not take Lymecycline, Doxycycline, Minocylcine, Oxytetracycline or other Tetracycline antibiotics as this could cause you harm.

You should not use Doxycycline (e.g. Efracea), Minocycline, Lymecycline (e.g. Tetralysal), or Oxytetracycline antibiotics if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a history of liver or kidney disease, taking antacids or have issues with stomach acidity or esophageal irritation or if you use sunbeds or expose your skin to strong sunlight (these antibiotics can increase the risk of skin reactions, and strong sunlight or sunbeds can also worsen conditions like rosacea).
