epiduo

Hi everyone,

About six months ago I ended my treatment of accutane and my acne came back a little bit. My derm gave me this medicine called epiduo and I can honestly say its made my acne even worse. I was starting to get numerous white heads here and there, but since I started using this my acne has become SO much worse. I know that they say you get an initial break out and all of that other BS, but I think this medicine is ridiculous. Ive used some other products with adapalene (differin) and the same thing happened. Does anybody use this shit? And does it work? Ive never had much success with galderma products and im starting to wonder if its even worth staying with it.

Thanks

post accutane questions

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing some problems after my treatment of isotretinoin and was looking for some info/advice from previous users. I started taking isotretinoin last summer (June) to help decrease my oil production and stayed on the treatment for a total of 5 months. The initial results were great, and it reduced the oil production with little to no side effects. However, I noticed that in late March/early April I started to get occasional breakouts. As of right now, I'm really starting to notice an increase in oil on my face and the appearance of numerous whiteheads. It almost seems as if the isotretinoin is slowly wearing off, because if I look in the mirror I notice that my pores are constantly plugged with a solid substance that looks like oil that has become solidified (if thats even possible?). Its really frustrating and I scheduled an appointment with my derm for next week to discuss the possibility of a second treatment. Has anybody had a similar situation like me and went on a second course? And if so, did it improve after the second time? While my acne is not as bad as it was before my first treatment, Im starting to worry that it will get worse if it is not taken care of. Any advice/ info is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Im new to this site but ive had acne for about 4 years now. Im going to see a new dermatologist soon and I am thinking about going on accutane after trying numerous products over the years. Is there any advice out there for me? What should I expect? My acne isnt severe, but its definitely been persistent and I have an extremely oily face so I figure its time to try something new. Im also thinking about posting some pictures and starting a blog of my experience with it.
