Epiduo gel belongs to a group of medicines called "anti-acne preparation for topical use" i.e. it is used for the treatment of acne vulgaris, when comedones (blackheads, whiteheads), numerous papules and pustules (inflammatory pimples) are present.
This gel combines two active ingredients, adapalene and benzoyl peroxide which work together but in different ways:
- Adapalene belongs to a group of products known as retinoids and acts specifically on the skin processes that cause acne.
- Benzoyl peroxide, works as an antimicrobial agent and by softening and peeling the outer layer of the skin.
Epiduo 0.3% / 2.5% gel should only be used in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over.
