Epiduo Waxy, Shiny Face

Hi

 

I am in my 30's and have been on most types of oral acne meds. Since February I have been using Epiduo twice a day as directed by my derm. It has really helped my skin and I hardly get spots in the problem areas anymore but over the last couple of months my face looks really shiny, kind of like it's made of wax, but only in the areas which I put the Epiduo on. I started to use the Epiduo only once a day- before bed but it's still like it. Does anyone know what the problem might be as this is the best stuff I have used for my spots but the waxy look is so obvious.

 

Many thanks

Can anyone help with this? I am still getting it, even on the areas I have stopped putting epiduo on. I wash my face and 20 mins later it's so oily, sticky and shines. I never had this before using this and hoped it would stop but it's just as bad as ever.

I think most retinoids do that. I know they always give me a shiny look. This is one reason I have to use blotting papers every four hours.
