"i used the original epiduo all through 4 years of high school and in combination with a generic triphasic birth control pill and neutrogena salicylic acid face wash, i completely cleared my terrible, depressing cystic acne. after high school i switched birth control and got the acne again, so i went back to my high school routine and it was better, but not as perfect. i tried the new forte version and i&#039;m clear as can be again at 21.  it has always made my face redder than my body, but i have no problem tolerating that for otherwise perfectly clear skin. it&#039;s only noticably red at night when it&#039;s on anyway. i&#039;ve tried all the other top treatments dermatologists recommend, but this one changed my life. just give it a chance."
