I was prescribed this to get rid of the teeny tiny white heads that are trapped under my skin, but after I put it on (I followed the directions: used pea-sized amount, rub evenly) my skin turned bright red and stayed that way. I woke up at like 5 am because my face was so dry. I even applied Cerave moisturizer after the Epiduo but I am still SUPER dry. I don't even want to leave my room to go to work because the area around my mouth is so tight. This is just ONE day of using it. I don't see how people ride this out for weeks on end! I do not like this medication and I'm probably gonna not continue. I want clear skin so bad though... Anybody else have a similar experience?

I made an appointment with a different dermatologist because the lady I went to kinda didn't want to listen to me. She was quick to see me and real quick to be on her way which I didn't like. I'd like someone to sit down with me and hear out my acne story. It's been a long journey I've had this stuff since I was 12!
