i have come to the consensus that while epiduo does kill most of the acne I apply it to, it also kills the skin anywhere in the realm of it (it looks red, dry, peeling). Regardless of the length of time I have used it, I suffer the same side affects that I just mentioned. Even when applied after moisturizer. Thus, it is not worth it in my eyes. That said, i still wash my face with the Cerave Oil Control once a day (at night) and cerave's pm moisturizer. I wonder if my acne will clear up if I JUST stick with these two things for my skincare regimen (since the caveman regimen worked for the most part I infer that my skin does fine without harsh chemicals). I also have clean and clear's salicylic acid moisturizer (that worked in the past.)
I am firm on quitting epiduo but what i need help with is if I like use the cerave (no antiacne acid) or the salicylic cod moisturizer after using my cleanser.
thanks for reading
