"i have been using epiduo for over 1 year now and besides the side effects, it has helped my face, chest and back acne tremendously!  for the first few months of using it, i had terrible dry, flakey and very red irritating skin. i didn&#039;t care as much then but it really became a problem when i began to wear foundation. i now know to moisturize  constantly and only apply a thin layer! 
overall, thanks to epiduo i barely have any acne on my chest. my back is no longer severely bad but now moderate and controlled. my moderate facial acne is so much better ! only downfalls: sometimes my skin was terribly burnt and dry. also really expensive but worth it!"
