I've been on Clindamycin for around one year two months. I recently went to my doctor after clindamycin has ceased working and she prescribed Epiduo. I'm really nervous about starting Epiduo because of what I've read. I have some questions that if answered from people who've used Epiduo would be great. What moisturizer products do you use (I'm a guy, not that it matter per say) I've heard Cetaphil moisturizer is really helpful, seeing as there is suppose to be a lot of dryness and flaking. How bad is the redness and what can one do to subsidize it? I have a wedding coming up and I regularly go to school, so the redness is seeming like something that may need to be addressed? How bad are he initial breakouts in the "purging stage", what should I expect. Basically just some help with moisturizers, how to avoid excessive redness, and what to expect would be fantastic. Thanks.

USE IT EXACTLY AS YOUR DOCTOR TELLS YOU TO..NOT MORE NOT LESS. I learned it the hard way. I live in a hot and humid place so never needed a moisturizer but Cetaphil is very thick and always broke me out so I'd say you look for some gel based moisturizers.

Try Cera Ve.. I would try one without spf in it. Look for the word noncomodegenic. Good luck.. that is so frustrating!
