Epiduo Forte is that girl, I believe…

I use this as my last step after moisturizer and it has absolutely helped with my adult acne! My skin is combo-oily that easily gets congested and this has helped clear out my closed comedones and my acne. I don’t experience any irritation or peeling so far.

I wish I had used this earlier. But dang is it expensive!

This is such a great alternative to Accutane and way safer. I seriously wish I had found it sooner. It’s the best thing I’ve tried for controlling both fungal acne and regular acne. I use it religiously every night. The only downside is that it’s a bit pricey, but honestly, it’s worth it.

Occlusive ingredients such as petroleum jelly are very Show more

I love this for slugging. I have combo skin, but this doesn’t clog my pores. My skin feels plump the next morning and I notice my closed comedones getting flatter the more I slug. I also use this for any scratches or open wounds as a barrier to help them heal faster. It’s amazing how such a simple and inexpensive product can do so much!
