[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Epiduo Forte Gel.  Just make sure to ask your derm for a coupon.  The stuff is expensive, even with insurance.[/quote]

The generic is available now. Around $17 bucks at CVS.

A couple of years ago, I had read on DCUM that bad teen acne was a middle/low class phenomenon, and rich people's kids never have bad skin.   I was intrigued by the premise and it spurred me into action to take my DD to a dermatologist.  She was just about to start college and the dr. promised that her skin will clear in 3 months but it will get worse before it will get better. Antibiotics and epiduo worked and cleared her cystic acne from her face, chest and back.  Hef skin is flawless and absolutely luminous now. She takes really good care of her skin and I think she will continue to do so for the rest of her life. For someone who has gone through horrible acne, they can never forget how bad it became for them. Thankfully, no pitting, discoloration or scarring happened to her.

She is on antibiotics as well as Epiduo.  I tool my youngest as soon as his first cystic acne appeared. 1 month later his skin is soft, clear and bright. [/quote]

Antibiotics work great... until you stop taking them.[/quote]
