Dual-Action Topical Gel for Mild to Moderate Acne
Epiduo® Gel is a once-daily prescription-only acne treatment that combines adapalene (a retinoid) and benzoyl peroxide to reduce breakouts, unblock pores, and improve skin clarity. It targets both non-inflammatory acne (blackheads, whiteheads) and inflammatory acne (red, swollen spots).
Ideal for those struggling with persistent acne that hasn’t responded well to over-the-counter options.
How Does Epiduo Work?
- Adapalene is a retinoid that increases cell turnover, helping to unblock pores and prevent new breakouts
- Benzoyl peroxide is an antibacterial that kills acne-causing bacteria and reduces redness
- Together, they form a potent combination to treat a wide range of acne types and reduce the likelihood of future flare-ups
Improvements are often seen in 2–4 weeks, with best results after consistent use for 8–12 weeks.
How to Use Epiduo Gel
- Apply a thin layer once daily, preferably in the evening
- Use on clean, dry skin
- Avoid eyes, lips, and mucous membranes
- Start with a small amount to assess skin tolerance
- Apply moisturiser to reduce dryness or irritation
- Wear SPF during the day — adapalene increases sun sensitivity
Possible Side Effects
- Dryness, redness, and peeling (common in the first few weeks)
- Mild burning or stinging
- Skin sensitivity to sun exposure
These effects are usually temporary and settle as your skin adjusts. Discontinue if severe irritation occurs.
