"i&#039;ve had super clear skin until the last week of eighth grade! now it&#039;s summer and i needed something to help my sudden breakout before high school. my doctor recommended epiduo. at first, i was using it twice a day because i thought it would get rid of the acne faster. it didn&#039;t. i couldn&#039;t wear makeup because my skin was dry and peeling and way discolored. so i stopped for about 3 days and just moisturized. my acne got a little worst after that. i am 5 days past the 1 month mark and my skin is actually just starting to clear up. i used it once a day at night with the cetaphil face wash. i only have it in the middle of my forehead near my hairline and on my cheeks. i was getting very discouraged, but the medicine needs about 3 months."
