I went on epiduo after my accutane course and it kept my face clear. It's very drying however, so be prepared, but ultimately it worked fine.

unfortunately the acne did return on my back and neck so epiduo wasnt really viable and am back onto accutane for a small course

Did epiduo cause almost like sores on your face after using it because it has on mine, I'm surprised its had this effect because Ihave been using Benzoyl Peroxide and previously haven't had irritation and sores from using it. I would have thought after being on accutane I wouldn't really get an initial breakout from using this cream but I think I am. Did you get an initial breakout on your face from using it?

Sores? Youre probably using too much. Youre meant to use a pea sized amount for the whole face - on their website they strongly advise that you don't spot treat.

i didnt have an initial breakout as i was already fairly clear from accutane and this was purely maintenance

I find that a pea sized amount (or sometimes a pea and a half) Epiduo is enough to cover my face.

yeah i think i might have over done it the first few times using it and made my face far too dry! thanks for the advice hopefully it works for me
