A couple of things to consider: 1. Using both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide (in the Epiduo) will severly dry your skin. When your skin is dry it produces more sebum to compensate, which can ca...

It's been about a year and 5 months now since I started using Epiduo. I still use it every night. It cleared my skin, healed pigmentation scarring and improved my overall skin texture. The only downsi...

Sorry I haven't really come back for updates. This website reminds me of some of the most difficult times in my life, so I find it hard to log on. I hate seeing the pictures of my skin all broken out....

Wah. Clear skin spoils me, because now I care about every little blemish. I had a cyst above my lip for two days and now it's a scab since I still keep picking at my skin. Whoops. Other than that, I'm...

Beender, I had that problem ocassionally, but it ceased around the 3rd month. However, when I was using Retin-A the problem just did not go away. Maybe Epiduo doesn't work well with your skin chemis...

Hi AllynRose! I'm a new member to this site. In fact, I only joined because I randomly found this thread while doing research on Epiduo. Seeing your amazing progress has given me the faith to keep u...

I think you were on the topic I was referring to in my last post, the one about diet and acne. I completely agree with you. I just get frustrated with people who insist diet is everything for everyo...

I gotta say, this website gives me anxiety sometimes. So many people shouting their opinions like fact and so much conflicting information. In the end I would say just trust your doctor. A little ...

I just finished the first tube, but luckily I have a second one! I'll be seeing the derm again next week as a check up. So far, so good. I have a little cyst by my mouth but I have to stop and be th...

Met up with my cousin today. She has the exact same kind of acne I have. We started talking about skin, and I learned that all the women on my dad's side have acne issues. Man, it really is a genetic ...

I hope you are not feeling too sad right now, sending you lots of love!x   Aw, thank you.

Ah jeez. I'm worried about the insurance thing. My first two tubes were free, but I'm not sure they'll pay for the next one. I've only used one tube, but still... They've been a pain about everything....

I lost track of the days, but I believe it's been about 3.5 months. Two blemishes on one side Nothing on the other Can't believe I'm this clear. Seems like I've had acne forever. For som...

How often do you use it? I found I needed to keep a bottle of CeraVe in my car and the little samples in my purse. It's hard to find the right balance between dry and oily. I love CeraVe, the only o...

Quick update. As you can see, I got about 3 spots on my bad side. But overall it's not noticeable and I'm still very happy with the results. Now excuse me while I go back to studying. My...

Week 10 Day 76 Pre-finals week. Stress stress stress. And yet... ...

Aw, thanks Paul. It's definitely getting better. How's the not picking thing going now? Because I'm failing miserably! It's sort of a stress-relief thing for me and since I'm studying a lot lately, I ...

Week 8, Day 60 Clearly I have overcome my skin-picking problem. Not. Well, as you can tell I've had a minor setback here. I'm not too broken out, but it's not as good as it was last week. Sig...

Week 8, 56 days (2 months!) Happy retiversary to me. It's been two months now, and though I am definitely not clear, I see improvement. I can't stop touching my forehead and cheeks. They're so smo...

Week 7, Day 54 I cheated you guys out of the interesting photo, when my face was all blown up with whiteheads, but here's me after some spots calmed down. Red marks courtesy of my decision to gr...

Week 7 (Day 52) Coughcoughsnifflecough. I'm sick. Really sick. Went to urgent care and they said it's just a cold, but damn is it really kicking the crap outta me. Maybe the antibiotic made me wea...

Happy Halloween Guys! Don't let acne ruin yer fun Embraced my inner pirate this Halloween

Week 6, Day 44 OH DEAR GOD, THE FLAKES. I had all the typical retinoid symptoms during the first few weeks, then they subsided, but now they're really ramped up. Not sure why. I haven't changed th...

Day 39 Might be a little soon for an update, but I felt it was relevant to point out I'm peeling like burn victim today. Woohoo? I mean, I guess that's good. Sloughing off all the dead skin and what...

Week 5 Photo: As you can tell, it's my skin-picking that's the real problem. See those big red marks? They were tiny pink bumps at one point. Sigh. I forgot that skin-picking on skin-thinning retinoi...
