"i cannot tell you how pleased i am to have found epiduo. i had horrible acne all throughout middle school then i finally cleared it up by high school. i was happy with my skin for about a year...then i got on birth control which broke me out horribly. my acne was just as bad as it was in middle school, except now i was 18 years old. i went back to the dermatologist and tried everything. nothing worked. i finally switched dermatologists and they immediately put me on epiduo. within two months my face has cleared except for the occassional one or two pimples around my period. i&#039;ve never been happier. dried my face out a little at first, but all acne medications do. it&#039;s well worth it - a life saver."
