Cons:
Dry, burning skin
I was amazed at how fine lines on my forehead and around my mouth all but disappeared, but I do experience some dry skin and burning. It has not made me break out worse, but I have only been using it every 3 days.

Pros:
Not only clears up acne, but also improves overall skin appearance and reduces wrinkes.
Cons:
Expensive, causes mild skin irritation the first 2-3 weeks of use.
Overall, the best Rx topical acne medication I've tried so far.

Pros:
Worked very well in beginning. My skin never felt so good.
Cons:
Dry, irritated skin. After 1-2 months it seemed to lose its function and I'm worse than ever.
Worst breakout of my life at the moment. The acnes are large, painful and many. I have no reason why this suddenly happened. Have used Epiduo for 3-4 months. Worked very well in the beginning, but no lasting effect. Is it possible to become immune?
Talked with my doctor today and he suggested combining Epiduo (at night) with Dalacin (in the morning). Hope that works!
Pros:
Saw immediate reduction in wrinkles
