Hi there I haven't posted for a while, mainly because I've had no problems! I came off the Lymecycline 15 days ago for my recommended month long break, and since then I've had one 'pimple'. Well I s...

I used Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion for the first few weeks of treatment...they were hellish for me! Burning, peeling, bleeding, flaking, scabbing...the lot. I was recommended CeraVe Moisturising Loti...

Thank you both for the kind words and support! I applied a small amount of Epiduo to the wound in the end, very carefully to prevent the scab from bleeding, and also put a thin layer of Sudocrem on to...

Sorry to hear about your setback. I'm a little concerned about coming off the Tetracycline in 2 weeks, but just hoping the Epiduo keeps doing it's job. The only thing I'm really concerned about at...

Fantastic news! I also had unbelievable results within a very short time period of around 3-4 days. In fact, I think I actually saw a difference the morning after the first application! However be w...

I'm pleased you got hold of some! I'm going to try going back to my GP for a new prescription, need to call up for an appointment when I remember. Maybe it'll get easier as your skin smooths out? Lik...

Hi there I'm currently going through a course of Tetracycline and using Epiduo to clear up my acne, and so far it's working wonders. However, I am a bit of a compulsive skin picker. I've been doing...

That would be great thanks! After being fobbed off with the 'manufacturing fault' excuse, I emailed Galderma (the company who make Epiduo) for confirmation - and they said there has been no manufactu...

Yeah maybe the issue is a bit of bacterial resistance? I have one 'pimple' on my jawline, that I thought was actually just a bit of a heat rash, but it isn't shifting. It's not inflamed, sore, or an...

I have to admit when my skin was a bit dry and flaky, it was so difficult to make the pea-sized amount spread, and I was using probably half a pea for each affected area. Now that it's smoothed out, ...

I think I'm now around day 55. This may be a total no-no but I haven't been washing off the Epiduo in the mornings for a few days now! I'm almost out of cetaphil cleanser and can't get any more unti...

Thanks for all your replies, I'm currently using one by Crest I think...like I said, I'm not usually too fussy about it. I wonder if it is in my Listerine mouthwash too? Hmm definitely something to t...

Hmm funny you should say that, the pimple I was attributing to my toothpaste went full-on cystic pimple too. I couldn't leave it alone, I was so frustrated, so ended up with a giant cyst, surrounded ...

yes toothpaste can cause cyst acne around the mouth area because of the fluoride I had a feeling there'd be a reason! Thank you. I was also looking at the ingredients list the other day and there we...

Hi all I'm just about to start week 8 on a regimen of Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, Epiduo, CeraVe Moisturising Lotion, and 1 x 408mg Tetracycline each day. So far it's been going great, actually amazin...

Today marks the start of my 8th week, so day 50 I believe. I unfortunately woke up to 2 rather large pimples yesterday, one above my lip (again) but not in the exact same place as last time, and one ...

I'm so impressed with this Epiduo! My skin looks and feels amazing right now. I have no active acne, only a couple of red marks (which I can just dab a bit of concealer on until they fade), it is sof...

Congratulations on your masters degree! What did you study, if you don't mind me asking? I finished my masters degree last year and although I am working, I'm struggling to get employment in the field...

May I ask how long you used the product Anton? I only ask as the general feel I'm getting from most people is that it is a lengthy process - around 12 weeks to see a vast improvement. Although, somet...

I have literally been through every single point that you've mentioned - it's kinda weird to have been through something so similar! I went to an interview yesterday, and my skin has been a little wo...

Hope all is going well with the new job! I'm in the same situation, my jawline is staying clear (except where old stuff is surfacing), but I have two random sore pimples beside my nose. They're fair...

Couldn't agree more, patience is definitely the key! I'm not experiencing any irritation what so ever now from using the Epiduo every day, it's quite strange as I'm so used to having dry skin. I was...

Hi Shadrach Wow 7 years! I suppose it's worth it if it works, I plan to keep using Epiduo for as long as I physically can through fear of the acne coming back. I'd seriously reccommend Epiduo, it is...

4 week progress report: 1/3 of the way into the 12-week treatment period and I LOVE EPIDUO! The flaking has reduced (just a slight flakiness, usually while I'm at work without my moisturiser, I thi...

Please please PLEASE stick it out! I was the same for the first two weeks...oooooh the peeling, the burning, the itching! My face was a mess, and for the first week particularly, my entire face felt l...
