USING EPIDUO® GEL

Two effective medicines, two easy steps

Lots of things in life are complicated. Good thing Epiduo® (adapalene and benzoyl peroxide) Gel 0.1%/2.5% in an easy-to-use pump isn't one of them. Treatment consists of two simple steps. That is, after you've blamed biology for your breakouts.

STEP 1

When you wake up, or just before bedtime, wash your face with a gentle, non-soap cleanser, such as Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleanser. Gently pat your face dry with a soft towel. No scrubbing!

STEP 2

Using a pea-sized amount, apply a thin layer of Epiduo® Gel to your entire face (e.g., forehead, chin, each cheek). Avoid the areas around your eyes and lips.

You may also use a gentle moisturizer on your face afterward, ideally one with SPF protection during the day. Done!

  • Remember, for best results, you should use Epiduo® Gel every day or as your doctor instructed. You'll be glad you did.
