Hey everyone,
I have been struggling with acne since I was 12. I've been on every single antibiotic and prescription medication available throughout the years (except for accutane). Right now I'm on epiduo and I had to stop taking doxycycline after ANOTHER 3 month round of it.
I obviously can see progress, but I don't even know if it's worth staying on epiduo. My skin burns and every moisturizer I've tried I get a bad reaction too. All my doctors say I have extremely sensitive skin. Should I continue with epiduo for another month (to make 3) or just get a prescription for accutane?
Hey!
Epiduo its hard a harsh cream. I also suffer from extreme sensitive skin so when I tried Epiduo in just one area my skin was burning.
You should maybe use it less not stop it cold turkey cuz you may still suffer from acne and when you stop an acne treatment your skin can breakout like crazy. I suffered this experience with differin gel.
You should use a moisturiser. I know its not easy to find the right one. I know for experience that literally every cream would break me out. Wich moisturiser have you tried?
Hello!
I'm going to give the epiduo another month in home of some miracle :I
I've tried
Aveeno
Cetaphil
CeraVe
Vaseline
Aquaphor

Olay
Garnier

Wow you tried alot of moisturisers!!
Have you tried natural ones? Or jojoba oil? Maybe your skin doesnt like chemicals moisturisers.
i know for myself that my skin likes mineral oil and silicones wich is funny bcz some people break out from it. Its really individual!

Yea! I'm really desperate to try and find one that doesn't irritate my skin
I've also tried jojoba oil and I used to tolerate it, but now I just break out ;o;
Coconut oil is also something I've tried before, but it gave me cystic acne.
Maybe I'll try mineral oil by itself and see if it helps, thanks
