A member asked:

I am using epiduo 4th week now and initially breaking out with black scars will it cure or how months will it take to see best results ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

2 to 4 months: Here's a "howdy-do": you can get the same components for exactly the same result if you buy them separately. This will save over $250. You simply apply one cream, then the other in any order. 2 1/2% benzoyl peroxide is about $5. I buy 5% for my office use for $2. Adapalene[Differin] cream or gel costs $12.
