"i&#039;m 18 and i&#039;ve had mild to moderate acne including pimples, small bumps on my forehead and cheeks. i finally decided i had enough and was prescribed epiduo.  the first night i only put it on for a couple hours and the following nights i put it on every other night. during the middle of week two, my skin became very sensitive, started to peel like a sunburn and my face was slightly swollen. i patted on cetaphil moisturizing lotion and cortisone 10 on the more severe parts for two days straight all day. i also put a cold towel on my face which helped a lot. it hurt, but it got better. just be patient. i&#039;m on week three and my skin is almost clear! overall, this stuff really works, but patience is very important."
