"it&#039;s now day 168, a little more than 24 weeks since i began using epiduo forte. my last review was ~5 weeks in and i was miserable. the purge stage lasted 2-3 months for me and i honestly never looked worse. but my skin finally showed real improvement about 6 weeks ago and i&#039;m happy i fought my way through the beginning. my skin is still red and i still have issues with occasional tiny whiteheads on my inner cheeks, smile lines, and the sides of my nose, but the texture of my skin couldn&#039;t be softer or smoother everywhere else. my forehead, chin, jaw, and outer cheeks are perfect. i&#039;ve managed to cut back on makeup, and have hope that in another 6 months my skin will be 100%.
