How does Epiduo acne gel work?

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.

Epiduo adapalene and benzoyl peroxide gel does not contain antibiotics.

Is Epiduo gel 0.3% better than Epiduo gel 0.1%

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%.

Can I use Epiduo anti-acne gel with other acne treatments?

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.

Can Epiduo adapalene and benzoyl peroxide gel irritate the 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.
