Epiduo Gel is a prescription acne medication and is a combination of adapalene, which helps to unclog pores, and benzoyl peroxide, which kills the bacteria that causes acne. Epiduo Gel can be used to treat mild cases of acne or as a care treatment for people with clear skin.
Adapalene is a retinoid that works by decreasing the production of sebum and increasing the turnover of skin cells. Benzoyl peroxide is an over-the-counter medication and works by killing bacteria on the skin that can cause acne and inflammation.
