"wait it out! i&#039;m a 32 yr old female that began suffering from adult cystic acne just over a year ago. for some reason, only the right side of my face really broke out and the acne was deep and painful. after using epiduo for the recommended 3 months, i wasn&#039;t seeing results. the itchiness and peeling stopped after only two weeks of using it so i thought the product wasn&#039;t even working for me at the 3 month mark. i stuck with it anyway and now at 4 months, i have no more active acne and my skin is baby smooth! the down side to this med is that it caused post inflammatory hyperpigmentation which takes time to fade. but i&#039;m happy that until then, my feels good and there&#039;s no more acne!"
