"i&#039;m 29 years old. starting at age 13 i started having skin issues that became cystic acne. at 21 i had enough and tried everything. finally i gave accutane a try. it completely cleared my skin for 7 years. at 28 after having 2 kids i began to get some small breakouts. never as bad as it was but definitely noticeable. i tried epiduo for about 6 months and i think it made it worse. my obgyn put me on birth control and i was given aczone. i was skeptical at first of another topical medication but i tried it. i&#039;ve been on it now in conjuction with birth control for 4 months and my skin is finally clear again. i&#039;m still on my first tube and probably only half way through it. a pea size amount, twice daily. i&#039;m very pleased with it!"
