Epiduo® (adapalene and benzoyl peroxide) Gel 0.1%/2.5% is the only topical acne treatment that combines adapalene and benzoyl peroxide to help clear up the breakouts you have now and prevent future pimples from forming. The two ingredients have been proven to work better together than they do alone. Plus, having them together in a single treatment could mean fewer co-pays, more convenience and most of all, better results.
Benzoyl peroxide is one of the two effective ingredients in Epiduo® Gel. It kills the bacteria that cause 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.
Together, they're basically your breakouts' worst nightmare.
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 doc.
