"i&#039;ve had acne since like the 7th grade and i didn&#039;t really bother to do anything about it because it wasn&#039;t bad but at the end of 8th grade it got worse so i went to a dermatologist and she prescribed epiduo to me and i used it and had clear skin for almost the whole summer, but in august when school started my face started getting horribly dry and peeling and it hurt. so i went back to the derm. and she prescribed differin (0.3%) gel and i&#039;ve been using it now for 4 months and it works great! i have to say it does get worse before it gets better.
