Epiduo gel is a topical prescription-only medication designed to treat mild to moderate acne. It contains two active ingredients: adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. It is available in two different strengths: 0.1%/0.25% and 0.3/0.25%. These ingredients work together to clear your skin and prevent future breakouts.
If you’ve tried various over-the-counter acne treatments without success, Epiduo could be the solution you’re looking for. It’s a stronger option that targets multiple causes of acne, offering a comprehensive approach to clearer skin.

Epiduo is primarily used to treat mild to moderate acne, including pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. It’s a go-to treatment for those who need something stronger than standard over-the-counter options.
The gel is effective against acne vulgaris, which is the medical term for common acne. This includes various types of acne, like pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads.
Epiduo is suitable for adults and children over 9 years old. It’s designed to work on all skin types but is particularly effective for those with oily skin.
If you’re allergic to adapalene or benzoyl peroxide, you should avoid using Epiduo. Also, if you have other skin conditions like eczema, consult a GP or pharmacist before starting treatment.
Epiduo contains adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. Adapalene helps your skin renew itself and unclogs pores. Benzoyl peroxide kills acne-causing bacteria and has a mild drying effect of washing away excess oils and dirt.
Results can vary, but you may start to see improvements in as little as two weeks. However, it’s common to experience the full benefits after up to three months of regular use.
Follow this step-by-step guide on how to apply Epiduo gel:
It’s best to apply Epiduo at night as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Make sure your skin is clean and dry before application. A small amount is effective, so don’t overuse it.
The side effects below affect between 1% and 10% of people:
You can minimise these side effects by using a non-comedogenic moisturiser and reducing the frequency of applying Epiduo gel until the skin becomes used to the medicine. Within the first 4 weeks of use, you may experience skin purging, where the skin looks worse before it starts to look better. Skin purging is part of the process of the renewal of skin cells.
If you experience any severe side effects listed below, you should stop using Epiduo prescription gel immediately and seek medical help.
For a full list of side effects, please read the patient information leaflet.

Epiduo gel is a medicine clinically proven to treat mild to moderate acne if you have mostly whiteheads and blackheads with a few papules and pustules. What makes Epiduo gel/cream work so well is that it has two key ingredients that work together to eradicate acne. You can use Epiduo when other single treatments have failed. Another advantage of Epiduo topical gel is that it doesn’t contain antibiotics, which is great for people who cannot tolerate them.
Epiduo is made of two active ingredients: adapalene 0.1% and benzoyl peroxide 2.5%.
You may start seeing results in as little as two weeks, but full effects usually take up to three months.
Yes, but wait until Epiduo has been absorbed into your skin before applying other products.
Both Epiduo gel and Duac gel contain benzoyl peroxide, but Duac contains the antibiotic clindamycin. Both products effectively treat acne, but for people who cannot tolerate antibiotics, Epiduo gel may be a better option.
For long-term safety, it’s best to consult a GP or pharmacist. They can provide guidance based on your skin’s response to the treatment.
Epiduo medication is NOT safe for use in pregnancy. As the effects of Epiduo on breast milk are unknown, it is NOT recommended for breastfeeding. If you find you are pregnant whilst using Epiduo gel, you should stop use immediately.
