"i&#039;m 18 years old. my acne started very severe when i was 16 and i was given medication by a dermatologist when it was at its worst. after a year, the pills stopped working and my face broke out with giant, dark red cysts. i was then prescribed epiduo. not gonna lie, it was painful at first; my face was the darkest shade of red, super flaky, and burned something awful. applying lotion to try and stop the peeling stung and i was so embarrassed to go to school looking like i&#039;d gotten the worst sunburn ever. after a little over a month of this i became discouraged but i continued using it and i&#039;m glad i did. my face is no longer red and my acne is almost completely cleared up. stick with it! i&#039;ve been using it for over a year now. it works!"
