Epiduo Gel (Adapalene 0.1% and Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%)
Prescription-Only Medication (POM)

Product Overview:
Epiduo Gel combines Adapalene 0.1% (a retinoid) and Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%, making it a powerful treatment for acne. Adapalene works by regulating the skin's cell turnover to help prevent clogged pores and reduce acne lesions, while Benzoyl Peroxide has antibacterial properties that target the bacteria responsible for acne. Together, they help reduce both inflammation and the formation of acne lesions, including pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads.

Indications:
Epiduo Gel is prescribed for the topical treatment of moderate acne vulgaris in individuals aged 12 and older. It is used to treat inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne, such as:

Pimples
