"i&#039;m currently 16, i started to get acne around 4th grade when i first endured puberty.  it started out as blackheads around my nose but now i have white&amp;blackheads on my chin, cheeks(biggest problem area) and jaw. it got really bad my sophomore year. (i&#039;m a junior) but it wasn&#039;t cystic. it was somewhere between grade 1-2 acne.  i started epiduo roughly two weeks ago.  my first week, my skin cleared up! not completely but i did notice improvement. i apply it every night after washing my face, showering. sadly, my skin and neck are irritated, itchy, red and burning even with the small amount i put on. my acne has become worse. i&#039;m hoping it will pull through. i got it for $45 (insurance didn&#039;t cover) by printing out a coupon on epiduo.com!!"
