"i am a 43 years old woman who had acne since the 6th grade. i have tried everything in the last 30 years; otc, antibiotics oral and topical.  i happened to go to the dermatologist for a growth elsewhere. he asked about my acne and i told him the story. he prescribed epiduo forte. i thought &quot;whatever&quot; i will try it. thinking its just another medicine that won&#039;t work. luckily my insurance paid for it otherwise i probably won&#039;t have tried it. its been about 8 weeks and my skin has never looked better. i am amazed. i would have rated it a 10 but there is burning  at times."
