My Skin is getting really good I can't stop looking at my self I can't wait to use epiduo every night everytime I wake up my skin looks even better but once I stop using it what will happen which is later in the future I've been on it for 2 weeks my dermatologist is planning for 6 I know epiduo has a retinoid in and I was using a retinoid face wash that's why my skin is healing so quickly because maybe it is use to it I did have a initial break out for 5 days I'm grateful for my skin clearing up but what will happen once I stop taking it and my face is clear

a retinoid is used forever as long term maintenance after your acne clears. Once you stop, your pores will slowly beging to clog again, and before you know it, you're back to where you started. If you are getting the results you say, why would you want to stop?

I have a feeling this guy is a bot.

Just looking at the epiduo commercial, it seems kinda like the Proactiv advertising except only cheesier; "hey, let's put BOTH acne creams together, HA it clears your face cause logic". Just too good to be true.

Back to this; no offense is meant, the main reason I think the newbie is a bot is because I'm so skeptical that epiduo can clear acne.

OP, I tried to read your entire post without taking a breath (since you didn't use periods) and almost needed a defibrillator halfway through.

But, I agree with goodz19... tell your derm you like the results you're seeing and get him to extend the amount of time you'll be on it. I'm sure he'll be the final judge over whether that's a good idea, but hey: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
