I started using epiduo 2 years ago for the red acne spots on my forehead. For a few months, it made my acne a lot worse while my skin got adjusted to it and then it cleared up during the next year and half. About a month ago I stopped using it because it expired. Recently the acne on my forehead has started to reappear. I just got a new prescription and I will pick it up tomorrow. Will I have to go through the whole process again of getting adjusted to the medicine and having my acne get all worse again before it get better? Or will my skin already be mostly adjusted and it will start clearing up again right away?
Epiduo - will my skin have to get readjusted if I stop using it for a while?
