Hi! I've had acne for over ten years now, and I'm looking for some support. I've tried countless prescriptions and do everything I can to protect my face, but nothing seems to work. Last week, my dermatologist switched me to Epiduo Forte Gel, Minocycline pill, and Beyaz birth control. Has anyone had success with these (specifically the epiduo forte gel)? Right now, my skin is bright red, burning, and peeling. I know it's because it's the first week, but I'm hoping to hear some success stories! Thank you. 🙂
I started getting some acne when i was 18. I finally went to the derm when i was 21 i think and got epiduo the regular one. It worked! About a year ago i switched up to forte because i wanted stronger retinol. For me it works. I am too scared to ever stop it even tho i have to pay 400+ out of pocket:/ my acne was moderate. I get some pimples not like before. I had no purging with the original or switching. Hope it works for u as well:)
