"my dr prescribed me different creams &amp; pills but nothing helped to clear my acne. my dr then sent me to a dermatologist who prescribed me epiduo cream. it took around 3wks before i started noticing the changes. using the cream burnt my face a little bit in the first wk but has not done it since. i have now been using epiduo for almost a yr. my face has never been so clear, and very rarely do i get a pimple. i found the best way for it work for me, is i shower ever night &amp; only wash my face with gold bar soap. i then dry my face &amp; apply the epiduo very sparingly. when i wake in the morning, i use a flannel and wash my face. i do not use any creams, makeup or moisturier."
