"i&#039;ll start with some background about my acne: i had absolutely flawless skin in high school and when i got to college, about sophomore year, i began breaking out. for the past year i have consistently had cystic acne, black heads, white heads, and extremely flaky skin. 

i finally broke down and went to my gp who prescribed me doxycycline, clindamycin gel, and epiduo. i only very recently started this regimen, but i am seeing results. the epiduo does burn and dry out my skin, which is why i spot apply it every other day. it sounds like some people apply it to their entire face, which i do not recommend unless absolutely necessary. also, i paid around $20 w/ tricare standard (military) insurance. all in all, great product."
