I have been one epiduo for about a month. First week my skin looked better. For past 3 weeks I have broken out. I had a lot of blackheads and a few of the red boil type zits before starting. Now I have a lot of blackheads and a lot of the red zits. Is there a typical turning point in this? Im just worried these new breakouts will cause scarring.
I have been sitting on a prescription of Epiduo, not taking it, because of this fear. Please let me know how it goes. I would stick with it for another 2-4 weeks. My Dermatologist told me by 2 months I should see a dramatic improvement. I'm just afraid to take it. Fortunately, and unfortunately, the breakouts mean that the product is in the process of working. It's purging your skin. Some people take longer for the purge to complete than others. That's why they say "up to 2 months" about Epiduo.
Are you burning/itching/peeling? I've heard these are normal side effects.
Are you applying it all over your face, or just spot treating?
