Has anyone ever switched from tretinoin to epiduo?
I have been using tretinoin .025% for about 2 months, and it is still making my skin red and I am seeing some dark spots/shallow indentation scarring.
I went to the derm today and he prescribed me to epiduo along with a few samples of epiduo.
I am worried that I will purge more with the use of epiduo...and cause for acne to form leading to more scarring on my cheeks!
Also, I am afraid that the 2 months I spent with tretinoin will affect epiduo, or vice versa, incase I ever want to return to using tretinoin.
Has anyone ever had to switch from retin-a to epiduo?
Please help! I am not sure what to do.
Thanks for your time!
retin a makes skin really sensitive, i mean, it eventually gives nice skin but my skin always looked red and painful using it. Epiduo is good, you can put a thin layer over affected areas and just spot treat any pimples you have where there is not a lot of breakouts. introduce it slowly AND WASH YOUR HANDS PROPERLY ! all my t shirts and towels got bleaced from the benzoyl peroxide in it
