"i am a white teenager, with combination &amp; sensitive skin that flares up really badly at the slightest of things. my dermatologist prescribed me epiduo and i tried it for nearly three or so months, but i found that it did nothing but dry out my skin and caused it to turn red. my acne did not go away, so i looked for other things. if you have skin like mine, look for things with salycic acid. i have a set of facial wipes with 1% salycic acid and clinique acne gel with 2% salycic acid and this, in addition to a normal clean &amp; clear facial wash, has cleared up my acne entirely. hope this helps."
