"i am 24 years old and have struggled with hormonal acne for the past year. i turned into a hermit.
i tried a few things with my gp- changed my pill to estelle- waited 3 months but nothing changed, it only worsened, tried many many many face washes, was prescribed eryacne and doxycycline, which helped for a short period of time until it came back. i had had enough and decided to get a referral to a dermatologist- i wish i had done this sooner! he gave me bactrim, which i was to take twice a day for 2 months as well as epiduo gel. this combination was my saviour! i am now down to 1 tablet a day for another 2 months using epiduo every second night. 
this is amazing and cleared up my acne but it does make you very sensitive to the sun."
