"epiduo forte really does work. tried literally everything else except accutane ( including benzoyl, salicylic acid, clindamycin, tretinoin/retin-a, tetracycline, even birth control) and this is the one. not completely cured, but sooo much better! really no more inflammatory acne at all, nothing but small bumps left. takes a few (like 3) months to work, so don&#039;t give up hope!"
