WHAT IS EPIDUO® GEL?

Meet your face's new BFF

Epiduo® (adapalene and benzoyl peroxide) Gel 0.1%/2.5% is the only topical acne treatment that combines two hardworking ingredients, adapalene and benzoyl peroxide to help clear up the breakouts you have now and help prevent future pimples from forming. It also comes in a convenient pump, so treating and preventing breakouts can quickly become a part of your everyday routine.

Benzoyl peroxide is one of the two effective ingredients in Epiduo® Gel. It kills the bacteria that lead to breakouts and helps prevent pimples from coming back.

Adapalene is a type of retinoid, and the other ingredient in Epiduo® Gel. It unclogs blocked pores, helping to stop pimples from forming under the skin's surface and decreasing the redness, swelling and inflammation associated with pimples.

These two are basically your breakouts' worst nightmare.

Plus, having both ingredients in a single treatment could mean fewer co-pays. Use a pea-sized amount daily, and you may only need a refill once every 3 months.

Some people using Epiduo® Gel experience redness, scaling, dryness, stinging and/or burning—if that happens and it bothers you, get in touch with your doctor.
