For Acne "I had cystic acne since I was about 12 and started using this drug when I was 24. It took 6 weeks to see any start of clear skin and a full 4 months + to get completely clear skin. I had to stop using it because I got pregnant, but my acne stayed away up until about a year and a half after childbirth (maybe due to hormones). Unfortunately, I'm back to having to use this drug again. I'm looking forward to the results, but the process is miserable. This time around I'm taking it with Spironolactone (diuretic). I put my Epiduo Forte on at night and then in the morning I coat my face in Aquaphor for relief. Any sun (even with SPF 30) burns my face and neck (even though I don't apply the drug to my neck). My face is constantly peeling, and I'm only using Aquaphor and CeraVe lotion and cleanser on it. The cleanser and the PM lotion burn like fire, unfortunately. These reviews reminded me that it's actually important to apply your moisturizer first and wait before applying the drug!"

For Acne "I have mild to moderate acne and textured skin (little skin-colored hard bumps), which I think is caused by my super oily skin. I’ve had all this ever since I was a teenager and throughout my adult years. I recently broke out (more than normal), so my doctor prescribed me TactuPump Forte. I’ve been using it for a month now: the breakout pimples are gone, and the hard little bumps on my skin are about 70% gone. Currently, I have a few active red pimples on my face, flaky skin all over, I feel extremely dry yet I’m still oily (much less than before), and my skin is now super sensitive. Using it every night burned my skin a lot, so I switched to using it every other night. I will continue to use TactuPump Forte, but so far, I think this treatment is just OK (taking into consideration the improvements AND side effects). Good luck to anyone who’s currently using this acne treatment or starting it!"

For Acne "I just started using this. I probably put it on a grand total of 6 times, and my face is horrible. My face is swollen, red hot (to the touch and actually), peeling. My eyes are swollen, itchy, and dry. On the flip side, though, I only used it a few times and haven’t used it since, and my face has cleared up already. All my acne is not gone, but it is clearing up."

For Acne "The first time using Epiduo was on Monday. It felt tingly but didn’t cause any pain, however, when I applied it on Tuesday, my skin began to burn to the point where I was uncomfortable the whole night. On Wednesday, it was just as bad. My skin felt hot, was stinging and burning, and was so painful. Cleansing and moisturizing was now giving me the similar burning sensation. On Thursday, my skin felt extremely tight, itchy, and sensitive. The skin around my mouth and on my chin was starting to peel, and it only got worse the next day. The peeling spread to around my eyes and eyebrows. I stopped using Epiduo because it was causing a lot of damage when I was seeing very minimal results. My skin is now extremely dry and sore, and I have to now see a dermatologist because it has only worsened my skin. My experience may sound insignificant due to the fact I only used Epiduo for two days, however, I want people to be aware of how painful and damaging this product can be."
