"i have been suffering from adult acne for over a year and finally plucked up the courage to see the dermatologist for the first time in my life and boy, am i glad i did!  i have been using epiduo paired with an oral antibiotic (solodyn) for about 1 1/2 months and my skin already looks better.  i did have the redness on my first application (like a sunburn) and there was a good amount of dryness around my mouth for the first few weeks, but if you stop applying to those dry areas, it gets better. i also experienced some burning - but only in the dry areas. i didn&#039;t really have an initial breakout, just a few little pimples that were nothing like the huge cysts that i had been so used to getting.  another pro - my skin is so soft now."
