Epiduo Gel 30gm

Epiduo Gel is used to manage acne by reducing inflammation, clearing clogged pores, and limiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria. It is also used to control excess oil and prevent new breakouts, as its combination of adapalene and benzoyl peroxide helps promote clearer skin and reduces the formation of acne lesions.

Follow these instructions while using Epiduo Gel:

• Clean your face and other affected areas gently with a non-medicated cleaner. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
• Apply a thin layer of the gel to acne-prone areas like the forehead, cheeks, chin, and back.
• Avoid contact with your eyes, lips, nose angles, and mucous membranes. Remember to wash your hands after applying the gel.
• Limit your skin exposure to sunlight and UV lamps. Use sunscreen and wear protective clothing during the day.
• For specific advice about using this medicine, consult your doctor.

Epiduo Gel is applied topically.

Epiduo Gel comprises two active ingredients:

• Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%): This ingredient has bactericidal properties, meaning it kills bacteria – specifically P. acnes bacteria that contribute to acne formation. Additionally, as a keratolytic agent, benzoyl peroxide promotes the exfoliation of dead skin cells helping keep pores clear.
• Adapalene (0.1%): This component is a retinoid that attaches itself to specific receptors in your skin. Its primary function is to regulate cell differentiation, keratinisation - which is the process by which cells harden, and inflammation in your skin. It aids in controlling the turnover of skin cells and unclogs pores while reducing inflammation caused by acne.

The gel-based consistency of this medicine enhances penetration into the skin for optimal efficacy.

• Store Epiduo Gel at room temperature, not exceeding 25°C.
• Keep it away from light and avoid freezing.
• Ensure the container is kept tightly closed when not in use.
• Always keep out of reach from children for safety.

• Maintain a balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables to promote healthier skin. Poor nutrition can exacerbate acne symptoms.
• Regular exercise can help manage stress levels, which can trigger acne flare-ups. Ensure you cleanse your skin thoroughly after sweating to prevent pore clogging.
