I've been on epiduo for 3 weeks now coming into my 4th and i'm still breaking out i knows there's an initial breakout but is this normal?

Epiduo: Epiduo is a great product but rarely is the product as mono therapy. Most of the time it is used with an oral antibiotic such as solodyn (minocycline) or monodox. If you use both products for 4-6 weeks and still see no improvement you would need another antibiotic or go on accutane.

Time : It does take time for topical acne treatments to work. Usually we advise patients to wait about 6 weeks. However, not all treatments are effective in everyone and refinements or additions may need to be instituted after a trial period of about 6 weeks.
