"my dermatologist gave me some samples of epiduo and i tried it. now, of course i know the saying, &quot;it gets worse before it gets better.&quot; however, in my case it got much much worse, alot worse than i ever had. bad enough where it greatly effected my self esteem. about two weeks into it, i had to stop because my face was burning really bad and it looked worse than ever. so, i stopped taking it because it was the type of acne that would leave scars so i stopped and used the other sample he gave me, which is tazorac gel 0.1. since i&#039;ve been using that, it has cleared up my skin very well. still have improvements to go but i like what results i&#039;m seeing now. so,   epiduo didn&#039;t work for me but i guess it does for some people."
