Went to dermatologist to look at my acne. My acne is moderate close to severe but my jawline is severe.
I was told by looking at my face, to use epiduo as the topical cream and solodyn as the antibiotic.
I was given a few samples of epiduo and solodyn as I don't have insurance. I was told that its very expensive without insurance. I was told it would take 4-6 weeks to see some type of results but it should clear up your skin in probably 3 months or so.
I checked reviews online and from what i read, epiduo doesn't really do much. Thoughts on this? Did this work for you? Im told to only use this at night. Also, i know epiduo has Benzoyl peroxide but does this work better than it? I was told i could just use 2.5 or 5% BP if i dont want to spend the money for the epiduo since i dont have insurance. I could get acne.org bp and thats $25 and would last a very long time. What about epiduo?
I also read a lot of ppl mentioning that going on an anti-biotic is the worst thing you can do. Is this true or false based on your experience? I read some reviews where ppl mentioned there is hair loss as a side effect and that it doesn't work at all. I did read some good reviews about it but mostly were negative.
Is epiduo + solodyn a good choice for moderate to a bit close of severe acne? I read reviews that this is what most derms prescribe to patients where their acne isn't severe but its getting there. I had asked if i would been a candidate for accutane and was told its best to do this first to see if it works.
Which is more important? Epiduo or solodyn? And how long should i use it before i can say... okay this isn't working or making it worst. Should i stop asap if either of these are causing problems?
