What products should I be using with epiduo? I just started taking solodyn, idk if it's working or not. But hopefully after a month passes I'll see results.

But with epiduo what cleanser should I use? I heard that it dries out the skin, what moisturizer should I use?
Also, I have oily skin, and moderate acne.

At my school we have to take aquatics class. So I have to swim everyday. Will the epiduo and the chlorine irritate my face? I wouldn't mind going to the doctors to ask for a note, I never really liked that class.

Definitely use a good sunscreen, the epiduo makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight. I would say either bring the epiduo with you & apply after ur aquatics class. Or if your aquatics class is in the late evening, just moisturize after class and apply epiduo again at night.

The cleanser that most derms recommend is cetaphil gentle skin cleanser, if your super oily user the foaming one for oily skin.
For moisturizers, depending on how dry your skin gets, you can use cetaphil, which is what i see a lot of epiduo users using.

Cetaphil is the way to go if you're on epiduo, it doesn't irritate the skin and is super gentle which you need when you're on epiduo.
