Epiduo Gel is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris in patients 9 years of age and older. It is a combination of adapalene, a retinoid, and benzoyl peroxide. Adapalene works by affecting the growth of cells and decreasing swelling and inflammation, while benzoyl peroxide has an antibacterial effect and a mild drying effect, allowing excess oils and dirt to be easily washed away from the skin.

This is not a complete list of side effects, and others may occur. If you experience any of these side effects or have concerns about using Epiduo Gel, consult your healthcare provider for medical advice and guidance.
Using more than one acne medication at a time could cause severe skin irritation. Inform your healthcare provider about all other medicated skin products you are using to avoid potential interactions and adverse effects.
