"this drug is very effective in clearing acne, which is awesome, but it has very very harsh side effects. i used this drug two days in a row when i first got it (bad decision on my part) and woke up the next day with burning bright red skin that was sore and hot to the touch. people asked if i had gotten a severe sunburn! it really helped with my acne and definitely cleared my skin a lot, but the side effects made it impossible for me to use. it has now been 3 days since i last used it and my skin is peeling like crazy. i am using it in conjunction with clindamycin phosphate gel, a much gentler medication, and plan to only use epiduo 2x a week because of the horrible side effects. make sure you moisturize and ease into using the medication!"
