"i have had acne from 13 yrs old on and was on accutane for most all of high school. i have tried everything - all cleansers, peels, topicals and nothing worked. proactive seemed to moderately work (but dried my skin out and bleached every towel &amp; pillow case in sight). i&#039;m now 36 and in march 2012 i was totally fed up with my constant struggle with adult acne so i went to a dermatologist in san francisco. she put me on doryx, epiduo &amp; cereve hydrating (non-foaming) cleanser- hallelujah! it took ~2 months &amp; my face was breakout free. i haven&#039;t had a zit since). it works- call your dermatologist as soon as possible. p.s i&#039;m also on ocella birth control (which is key to regulating hormone levels)."
