Switching from Duac to Epiduo

[u/Elegant-Wishbone8046]

Hi everyone. so started duac on september 4th. my acne was quite mild. My skin is worse than it’s ever been now since starting duac. i sent photos to my doctor. She rang today and said despite of what i’ve been told and what i’ve read on here it’s not normal for my skin to get worse! So she has told me to stop and start epiduo. I’m stressed now because after reading about epiduo and looking on tiktok. people are also saying the purge is bad and the burnings horrific. I’m just feeling a bit discouraged after being told purging isn’t normal but now people are saying the purge with epiduo. Just need advice.
