For Acne "The best acne treatment I have ever had! I started to have acne at the age of 21 and only now 4 years later my face is almost healed. Before epiduo I took antibiotics pills for 12 weeks they were very effective but certain acne were still coming up and my face was mostly irritated. Then my dermatologist decided we can continue with Epiduo. I was really tired of all the long treatments and was not sure if I should continue with this one. At the beginning I didn't use it every night; the first two weeks once in three nights and then once in two nights for the upcoming two weeks. Its been more than one month now that I am using it and there was absolutely no negative effect on me! My skin has earned its glow and all the acne scars have started to faint. Beside this I have drunk a lot of water and have tried to eat healthy! I strongly advice you to use it not everyday at the beginning, leave your skin a little time to adopt with it! Hope it will work for you too ❤"

For Acne "I’ve been on it since November because my acne started to look bad so I went to the dermatologist. The dermatologist said I was “starting” to scar near my mouth a little bit so she prescribed me epiduo. It’s now the middle of February so I’ve been on it about 11 weeks and my face is covered in scars I never had before. I really don’t recommend this at all unless you already have bad scarring. I’m scared to stop using it because apparently you break out like crazy. Any suggestions? I never really noticed any scarring until I used this product and I’m starting to be very self conscious about it. Occasionally my breakouts seem calmer but as a whole I hate that I ever started this."

For Acne "Started in November 2015 when I was 18 and my skin was clear after 4 to 5 months by March of 2016. First few weeks weren't easy. Even with Pea Sized amounts used every other day, my skin was still itchy and blotchy. But I turned to a Cetaphil moisture as an important weapon in the fight. Epiduo is Strong, and can dry your face out, so use a pea sized amount. If you're needing a refill every month then you're using to much. One bottle should last you 3-6 months, not 1 or 2. Also, you'll break out the first month, just because dirt and clogged stuff is being drained. Most importantly, Don't bash on Epiduo, you might be impatient and want clear skin asap, but you'll have to learn to add it to your routine and turn to a moisturizer."

For Acne "One word WOW. I was really depressed about my skin, and I decided to go to a dermatologist after finishing my exams. She gave me EPIDUO and another medicine. At first my skin got irritated and for 2 days it was really red and was peeling, I talked to my derm and she told me to stop the other medicine and use a moisturiser before applying EPIDUO, I continued using it every other day and results after a month was amazing. Now I have less acne and every 2 months I do a deep cleanse which is called HYDRAFACIAL. I don't really use much make up like I used before, I'm not applying foundation, and relatives and friends are surprised too. Thanks EPIDUO. btw I'm still using it but I just apply it once or twice a week."

For Acne "I am a male in my early 20s who has had acne for several years, getting both cysts and bad pimples which has left me a couple scars. I was on antibiotics but these weren't hugely effective. My doctor prescribed me Epiduo as I was still getting spots. For the first time in years, I have gone months being spot free. For the first few weeks to a month the cream does burn, may cause skin peeling and extra redness. It even stings a little to put moisturiser on. However, once this initial period passes the cream is painless, and you only have to apply it at night which is really convenient. After about a month (may differ depending on individual) my skin had literally stopped getting pimples. If nothing else has worked for your acne yet, I would really recommend this cream."

For Acne "This works trust me. I never leave any product reviews but I'm making an exception for this one as it has really helped with my acne problem which, for those that have it, would know how much stress and anxiety it can cause. Acne may look worse first few weeks or months, but definitely will see significant improvements overtime."

For Acne "I started using Epiduo and it was working perfectly. Then one day around my eyebrows started to hurt then the next day the skin was peeling. It wasn't sunburn for sure because there was no sunshine for days. I put the lotion on it and it stung. Three days later my skin is still peeling, it hurts when I touch it, and my acne is back."

For Acne "This is my first month using Epiduo. First 3 weeks I saw no difference. This week my skin started burning badly then I got more acne and it's red and when I wash my face it just burns . Right now my face is peeling I'm even scared to go to school cause I look bad."

For Acne "This product works wonders! I've had horrible acne for a long time, I tried everything from spot treatments, acne washes, masks anything. I finally went to the dermatologist and got prescribed Epiduo and Cetaphil face wash. After 3 months or so, it was a dramatic change. I no longer have acne, however, there will be a few little pimples though. The only side effect is if you put too much on or put it on too often, it will cause dry irritated skin. Overall, it's a great product!"

For Acne "I have suffered from acne for about 5 years, and have tried many many over the counter products. NOTHING worked. So I went to my dermatologist and she prescribed me Epiduo, along with some other products. Within 3 days, I could tell a difference in my acne. Then, after a week, my face began burning when I applied the Epiduo, and peeling. I continued using the Epiduo and the burning and peeling stopped after a week. I've been on it for 3 weeks now and my acne is going away. But let me warn you, DO NOT over use this product. Only use once a day."

For Acne "This is the first time I write a review about a product that I've used. I had a major acne problem. I tried many things and it didn't work out. On February 2012 I went to a dermatologist to see what's wrong with my skin. She prescribed Epiduo gel. Honestly, I didn't think that it will workout. I'm using it until today and am so happy with the results. Everyone noticed how the acne disappeared. I just get one or two pimple when I'm having my period. You guys should use it if you're having the same problem. I wish I can post a picture of before and after so you can see the difference. It's really good, I don't want to stop using it."

For Acne "I LOVE Epiduo! I clears my skin up and makes my skin so beautiful. I'm in love with my face and I'm not self conscious anymore! I have a few small zits occasionally but they aren't noticeable to anyone but myself. So in love with Epiduo."

For Acne "My skin had a very nasty breakout after almost 10 years of no acne whatsoever (I'm 34 now). I have oily/combination skin and went on antibiotics/adapalene/topical solutions but nothing really helped. Finally, my dermatologist suggested that I try Epiduo as a night treatment (along with my daily moisturizer, Avene Cleanance Expert - another miracle product). Honestly, it only got worse before it started getting better. My skin got almost burned, it peeled badly and was really irritated. Somehow, very slowly and gradually it started clearing up. Now, after using Epiduo every other night for the last 3 months, my skin has almost minimal breakouts, looks and feels smoother and I'm on my way to reclaiming my lost clear skin and self-esteem."

For Acne "I am 29 years old, and have had acne for over fifteen years. This was the first acne product (prescription or over the counter) that worked well for me. My dermatologist explained that it could take several weeks before I saw results. However, within one week I saw improvement in my skin. By the third week, I was shocked at how much clearer my skin was. My doctor gave me a coupon so it only cost $25. It was so worth it! I highly recommend this product."

For Acne "Never really considered my skin to be bad, got the odd hormonal breakout but that was it. I noticed this summer though, as I turned 20 that my skin started looking TERRIBLE. Bumpy texture, zits, red pigmentation, the works. Nothing seemed to help, and I tried EVERYTHING. My doctor prescribed this and wow o wow. My skin looks like the Glossier Instagram page now. That being said, the first 6ish weeks on it were terrible, irritated skin so bad I couldn't even put makeup on for the first 3-4 weeks, and then redness and puffiness after that BUT my skin adapted to the cream as I stuck it out! So don't give up before it gets good! Only downside is that my face is super dry now and I have to heavily moisturize morning and night (First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream is a lifesaver) but this could also be due to the dry Canadian winters.. Anyways, love this stuff!"

For Acne "Hi! I’m on my 5th month of using epiduo and it has been a life saver it’s upped my confidence a lot. Recently I’ve gotten a breakout again but that’s expected because of being a teen and all that. But my forehead is so clear and my before and after pictures I can’t even explain.. just incredible work. You have to be patient with this cream and you will see results. Everyone should give it at least a 6 month trial and take before and after pictures. It stings at the start as the cream adjusts but it soon helps and the acne spots disappear quickly!"

For Acne "I have had moderate acne on my T-zone for about 4 years and my doctor prescribed me Epiduo about 3 months ago. For the first two weeks, I had an initial breakout but the pimples went away quicker than usual. Epiduo definitely makes your skin very sensitive for the first month or so and it made my skin burn and itch for the first month or two. Now, I can apply Epiduo without any side effects and my skin isn't as sensitive. Epiduo definitely cleared my skin and acne marks but I still get the occasional zit. I had tried a lot of over the counter acne washes and home remedies but Epiduo is the only thing to work on my face. Definitely worth it!"

For Acne "I've always had a few pimples here and there but this year my skin FREAKED OUT. I started getting cystic acne on my cheeks and I begged my mom to take me to the dermatlogist. Initially he prescribed Atralin which didn't help. It burned my skin and I would cry because it hurt so bad. I used it for maybe a month until things got worse. I started taking birth control around this time too and that also was a terrible experience. I got huge whiteheads on my chin everyday in clusters. I was so depressed. I would cry all the time and I hated looking in the mirror. Finally I went back and my derm said to try Epiduo and my skin looks amazing! I also take birth control and Spiro and I think the combination is perfection! Time is key."

For Acne "Have applied very lightly once a day for 3 days now. And it's completely unbearable. Where my skin was perfectly fine before using is now red, scaly, and itchy. Absolutely everything hurts my face, even water. "

For Acne "I Had Extreme Acne, Pimples, Dark Spots, And Red face, oily as well. I was prescribed EpiDuo by my doctor, and I saw results in about 1 week, pretty much almost all of my face clearing up. Then a couple days ago, when I applied it, my face burned horribly, I thought it was my cleanser, but it wasn't. EpiDuo makes your skin dry and burn, but only for a little bit, still a good acne cream!"

For Acne "I've tried so many products to get rid of the acne on my face and nothing worked. I even tried home remedies and everything. Then, my doctor prescribed me with Epiduo and just 2 days after using it I started to see a difference. It's amazing, it got rid of the acne I had and ever since I got it I don't get pimples anymore. It does however tend to dry out my skin but not severely, nothing a little moisturizer can't fix. Overall Epiduo is amazing and I wouldn't use anything else for my acne."

For Acne "I have only been using epiduo for a few days and I have already seen an improvement in my acne. However my face burns everytime I put it on, I've tried to use moisturiser as my face is now extremely dry, but that hurt so much and made my face swell and go red! My face is so stiff and dry and hurts when I touch it! I have read these symptoms will go away so hopefully if I pursue I will see and improvement."

For Acne "I have been taking Epiduo since last year but I stopped when my face cleared up 100 percent, until later this month a makeup primer broke me out so I started using epiduo again, the first 4 weeks will be so bad your face will be so dry and it will keep peeling. You wont even be able apply makeup, but trust me it gets better. You actually start seeing results after that and your skin gets used to it so that you don't experience any side effects anymore, just make sure to stick with it and use an exfoliator and moisturizer at all times and I promise you'll face will clear up"

For Acne "I started Epiduo early December 2020 for my moderate/severe acne so it’s been about 4 months now. I started because I suffered from mostly closed comedones and had super textured skin. Even if there were no red pimples my skin would look really bumpy in certain lighting and it made makeup look nasty. I was told to use it every other night for 2 weeks then use it every night. I think I ignored my doctor (don’t do that) and just stared using it every night right off the bat. It did make my skin super red and flaky for a bit so get a good moisturizer (I use CeraVe moisturizing cream). It made my skin a lot worse in the first month and a half, but at 3 months my skin was pretty much clear, just a few scars remaining. At this point my skin is clear (I’ve never as clear skin so woohoo!). My skin is starting to get really dry again so I’m gonna start using it every other day again and see how that works. Just stay patient with it,"
