I like to think that my skin is pretty good, it just needs a nudge towards flawlessness, rather than a shove. definitely call your derm, but i agree with this route. a lot of times it takes a while before a product works, the problem is that most people (myself including) don't wait till long enough before they switch products. it seems like it's working for you, maybe the recent warm weather then the switch to cold weather was a shock for your skin and even more drying on top of the medication. i blame chicago weather.
Me too - stupid Chicago weather
You girls are right - the combo of the two meds have worked for me for the past year - I rarely got a pimple...then all of a sudden. I think maybe I'll just give this a try - using it every other day and see what happens. If it doesn't work - I'll call my derm in a few weeks. Plus, it's going to be warming up soon too!

You mean switching from brand name to generic??? I've been on the pill for about 7 years..
