What Epiduo actually does

Epiduo combines two complementary active ingredients to treat existing acne lesions and prevent new microcomedones from forming.

1. Adapalene 0.1%

Adapalene is a third-generation topical retinoid. It normalises the shedding of cells inside the follicle, unblocking pores and accelerating cellular turnover. It also reduces localized cutaneous inflammation by downregulating inflammatory pathways.

2. Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%

Benzoyl peroxide is an oxidising antibacterial agent that penetrates deep into sebaceous units. It rapidly reduces the bacterial population of Cutibacterium acnes without triggering microbial resistance. This dual approach eliminates the need for topical antibiotic monotherapy.

Clinical timeline: Retinoid purging, mild peeling, and redness are common during weeks 2 to 6. Meaningful therapeutic improvement is evaluated at 12 weeks of continuous nightly use.

Side effects and when to stop

Mild cutaneous irritation is common during the initial adaptation phase. You may notice temporary redness, dryness, mild peeling, or a warm stinging sensation upon application.

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, completely dry skin at night, followed by a non-comedogenic moisturiser to minimise barrier disruption. Because adapalene increases photosensitivity, apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily.

Discontinue treatment immediately and seek medical attention if you develop severe swelling of the face or eyelids, urticaria, intense blistering, or spreading contact dermatitis.
