“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.
You do need a prescription for this medicine, but the good news is you can buy Epiduo gel from the online clinic at Click2Pharmcy. We have a team of prescribing pharmacists that can check if the medication is suitable for you. All you have to do is to fill out a consultation form. If you have any questions or concerns, we are here to help.”

Is your acne out of control? Have you tried creams and ointments that don’t work? Epiduo Gel may be the treatment for mild to moderate acne. Epiduo acne treatment is prescription only and available to buy at Click2Pharmacy.
Epiduo gel is a topical medicine designed to treat mild to moderate acne. Epiduo acne treatment is applied directly onto the skin. It is available in two different strengths of 0.1%/0.25% and 0.3/0.25%. You can buy Epiduo on prescription through our online clinic.
Epiduo acne gel has the active ingredients adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. Adapalene works in the same way as retinoids by reducing inflammation and unblocking pores on the skin. Benzoyl peroxide has antimicrobial properties; it kills the bacteria that cause acne and breaks down whiteheads and blackheads. Epiduo adapalene and benzoyl peroxide gel does not contain antibiotics.
Epiduo acne cream or gel can be used by adults and children over the age of 9 years.
For further information:
Epiduo gel acne medication should be used once a day in the evenings. Apply a thin layer of Epiduo gel to clean, dry skin. You should apply the gel to the whole affected area, not just spots.
If you find your skin feels irritated, try using Epiduo spot treatment a few times a week, and build up to daily use. Use continuously for 3 months.
Active ingredients: adapalene and benzoyl peroxide
Inactive ingredients: docusate sodium, disodium edetate, glycerin, poloxamer, propylene glycerol (E1520), simulgel 600 PHA (copolymer of acrylamide and sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate, isohexadecane, polysorbate 80, sorbitan oleate) & purified water.
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.
Please check the patient information leaflet (PIL) for a full list of side effects.
For external use only
Keep out of the SIGHT and REACH of children
Epiduo topical treatment should NOT be used on skin that is broken or has eczema. It is recommended to avoid exposure to UV light whilst using this product.
Please note benzoyl peroxide has bleaching properties, so avoid contact with coloured fabrics.
Epiduo medication is NOT safe for use in pregnancy. As the effects of Epiduo on breastmilk are unknown, it is NOT recommended for breastfeeding. If you find you are pregnant whilst using Epiduo gel, you should stop use immediately.
You cannot buy Epiduo online without a prescription. You should buy Epiduo from a registered UK pharmacy
Click2Pharmacy is a UK registered Pharmacy. You can get an Epiduo prescription online through our clinic. You will need to answer some questions first to check if you are suitable for Epiduo acne gel.
Both Epiduo 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.
You can use Epiduo for pimples. The higher strength Epiduo 0.3%/ 0.25% gel works effectively on pustules and papules (also called “pimples”).
Epiduo gel 0.1% / 2.5% is recommended if you mostly have whiteheads and blackheads. However if comedones and numerous papules and pustules are present, it may be better to use the higher strength Epiduo gel 0.3% / 2.5%.
You can use Epiduo acne gel alongside antibiotic treatments such as Erythromycin, Tetralysal (lymecycline) and Oxytetracycline. However, you cannot use Epiduo with other acne creams as they may irritate your skin.
Skin irritation is a common side effect of Epiduo adapalene and benzoyl peroxide gel. This is due to the skin getting used to adapalene. Some people also experience skin purging, where the acne appears worse before it gets better. It is advisable to use Epiduo gel less frequently before building up to daily use to overcome skin irritation.
