What can you expect when you use Epiduo® (adapalene and benzoyl peroxide) Gel 0.1%/2.5%? In a word, success. (Has a nice ring to it, right?)
Epiduo® Gel has been proven safe and effective for short- and long-term acne treatment. In fact, clinical trials with thousands of patients show that many people's breakouts visibly improve and continue to get better with consistent treatment.
And what about when breakouts become a thing of the past? Epiduo is safe to use (as recommended by a doctor, of course) to help keep your skin on the right track.
As with most acne treatments, Epiduo® Gel may come with mild side effects. If your skin is irritated at first, you should see improvements after the first couple of weeks. Typical side effects associated with short-term and long-term use of Epiduo® Gel are redness, scaling, dryness, stinging and burning where applied. A non-comedogenic moisturizer such as Cetaphil® Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 can help if your skin becomes dry. Unless major discomfort occurs, it's best to keep using Epiduo® Gel to make sure you're on the right path. But don't hesitate to talk to your doctor if you have major discomfort or if you have any questions or issues at all.
