Epiduo (adapalene/benzoyl peroxide): I've been using Epiduo for two months. My doctor previously warned me that it may cause my skin to break out more in the first weeks, as well as dry my skin out and possibly burn. He recommended that I use it every other night in the beginning. I did this and I haven't had any major problems. My skin did break out more for a week or two, but now it's clear. Because it's expensive, I still use it every other night and my skin has remained clear. The only problem I've had is the corners of my mouth becoming dry and cracking. I've solved that problem by not putting it to close to that area and using Neosporin. I would definitely recommend this medication to anyone who has acne that proactive and other prescribed medicines haven't effectively treated.

Epiduo (adapalene/benzoyl peroxide): I had an unpleasant experience. I had only used it for a week and it made big red marks on my face like eczema. And it didn't help with my acne at all.

Epiduo (adapalene/benzoyl peroxide): I started using this medicine about a week ago and I've already noticed significant changes in my skin. Prior to use I had a very bad breakout of acne all over my face small bumps and big ones. Now I have very very few bumps and also the scars left behind from old bumps is also beginning to clear up and lighten my complexion for a more even tone. The only downfall is the stinging that occurs sometimes along with minimal peeling but other than that it gets the job done and I'm pleased with what I'm seeing thus far. Hopefully it continues to eventually make me acne free.

Epiduo (adapalene/benzoyl peroxide): It seems to be helping a lot. First 2 weeks there was a mild peeling of skin (similar to mild sunburn) but now it is fine. I haven't tried many prescriptions, (mostly cosmetic-over-counter types), but if you are curious try this. It's pricey though.
