Wow, so many positive reviews here, it's inspiring!

I've been on Differin 0.1% for 6 weeks now, but haven't seen any improvements. I'll keep at it for a while longer and it my skin doesn't get any better, I'll switch to this. Thanks guys!

I used epiduo and I'm breaking out like crazy. painful red pimples all over my face. I just applied for 2 days and I stopped. now, I'm switching back to benzoyl peroxide. maybe I'll try epido during summer break but for now, it's a big no.

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum and wanting advice on what topical acne treatments are worth trying. I'm 20yr old female with mild, persistant facial acne, (and have just started taking Marvelon birth control pill). I used an anti-bacterial cream under the name of Duac for 6 months & it worked, however my skin unfortunately built up a resistance to it. I was then put onto a much harsher treatment; retinoid based gel ISOTREX. After the first 2 days of use I had a shocking outbreak from it- acne worse than I'd ever had before! I stopped using it. I've been told about this Epiduo product, just wondering if it is really worth my while trying it or not? Or could somebody recommed any other topical treatments for me to try (I'm not concerned about the price)?

Hi Genesis

I suffered from acne for nearly three years, I too used Duac plus various other topicals and oral antibiotics. Eventually my derm prescribed me Epiduo and it is the only thing that was effective in treating my acne. I would go as far as to call it my 'cure', because I haven't had a spot for nearly six months.

Of course, everyone's skin is different and what worked for me might not work for you.

I wish you the best of luck. x
