Reduce frequency of applying epiduo. You can stop for one week and start reapplying alternate night. You can change moisturizing cream too .

Hello. Epiduo Can irritate your skin and cause contact dermatitis. Apply a moisturizer first on the rest of your skin and then apply epiduo only on only the acne,very little quantity. Wash off after 30 mins and reapply moisturizer.
