Used Epiduo two nights ago on my face and my cheeks are covered in a red, scaly, dry, eczema-type rash. Clearly the BP dried my skin out bad.

I've moisturised yesterday and overnight but it's not budging. Could it be permanent? I'm so scared I've done some damage to my skin or that another type of skin condition has appeared from Epiduo use (only used it two nights in a row).

What do you think?

Avene skin recovery cream!!!! has saved my life numerous times ive detonated nuclear bomb type acne medications on my face 🙂 The light version is non comedogenic so it wont break you out (never broke me out either).

I think its clear the epiduo isnt suitable for your skin - a bit of redness/dryness/flaking is normal but what you describe sounds like an allergic reaction/intolerance. The rash shouldnt be permanent but it might take a week or two for the redness to fully die down.

Thanks. I think it's eczema :( I've put sudocrem on it. The skin is flaking off. Almost looks like psoriasis :(

You must know that side effects of Epiduo are horrible, it totally burns up your skin at first and make your acne worse. Just be patient, the first weeks your skin is adapting to the product, you may see the results soon. Apply the moisturizer before Epiduo for less dryness.

Nope! Never putting BP or epiduo on my skin ever again.

I'm gonna wait to start roaccutane, I don't care if I'm spotty in the meantime
