Epiduo Gel is used to treat acne vulgaris in individuals aged 9 years and older. It combines two active ingredients: adapalene, a retinoid that helps to unclog pores, and benzoyl peroxide, which has antibacterial properties. Together, they work to reduce acne lesions and prevent new breakouts by normalizing skin cell turnover and reducing inflammation. Epiduo Gel is applied topically to the affected areas once daily.
Beyond its main use for acne vulgaris, this gel is particularly effective in managing whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples which are common symptoms of this skin condition. By directly applying it to the affected areas on the face and trunk, it can help improve your skin's appearance.
Before you start using this gel, it's crucial to consult your doctor who will guide you on the correct dosage and frequency of application. Ensure you inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications to avoid any adverse effects. If you observe any side effects while using this medicine, instantly notify your doctor. To achieve optimal results, adhere to the prescribed duration of use without interruption.
