Common Uses

• Inflammatory acne

• Acne-prone skin with both clogged pores and inflammatory lesions

How It Works

Adapalene is a topical retinoid that helps regulate skin-cell turnover and reduces the formation of comedones.

Benzoyl peroxide has antimicrobial and keratolytic properties. It helps reduce acne-associated bacteria and supports the removal of excess dead skin cells.

Together, the ingredients target different processes involved in acne development.

Recommended Use

Apply Epiduo only as directed by a qualified healthcare professional or according to the applicable product labeling.

Typically, a thin layer is applied once daily to clean, dry acne-affected skin. Avoid contact with the eyes, lips, nostrils, mucous membranes, and broken or irritated skin.

Using more gel does not improve results faster and may increase irritation.

Storage Instructions

• Store according to the manufacturer's labeled requirements.

• Keep the gel in its original packaging.

• Protect from excessive heat and moisture.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiration date shown on the packaging.

Important Safety Information

• For external use only.

• Epiduo may cause dryness, redness, peeling, burning, or irritation, particularly during the initial weeks of treatment.

• Limit unnecessary exposure to sunlight and use appropriate sun protection.

• Avoid combining with other potentially irritating topical products unless advised by a healthcare professional.

• Benzoyl peroxide may bleach hair and colored fabrics.

• Do not apply to sunburned, damaged, or severely irritated skin.

• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.

• Stop use and seek professional advice if severe irritation, swelling, blistering, or other significant skin reactions occur.
