"i&#039;m 32 and have had acne since i was 13. i&#039;ve tried just about every cream and pill except accutane, and epiduo has worked the best for my skin, which is very oily. i had mild acne scarring with frequent breakouts and this has gotten me about 90% clear of breakouts and i&#039;ve seen some improvement with the scarring. i still get a pimple a couple of times a month but they&#039;re small and only last a couple of days. it did burn when i applied it around my mouth and on my chin for the first month though. i applied a really thin layer and would just rise it off after 20-30 mins. if the burning didn&#039;t ease up. also, it took about 3 months to see real improvement. for someone looking to avoid the side effects of the pills, i would highly recommend this."
