How does Epiduo work?
Epiduo is a dual action acne treatment gel that contains adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. These active ingredients work in tandem to unblock pores and kill the bacteria that cause acne, reducing acne symptoms.
Adapalene removes dead skin cells, helping to prevent blocked pores, and benzoyl peroxide removes harmful bacteria from the surface of the skin.
You may not see results immediately in the first few weeks, but after applying epiduo gel once a day, you should start to see a visible improvement in your acne from four weeks.

How effective is epiduo gel at clearing acne?
Epiduo gel is incredibly effective at clearing acne and preventing future outbreaks.
Please note, that nothing will cure acne permanently. It can only be treated. Simply apply a thin layer of gel to clean and dry skin once a day, before going to bed.
Is epiduo gel the best acne treatment?
Epiduo gel is a topical acne treatment that is used to treat mild to moderate acne. It can take up to 8-12 weeks of using the acne treatment before you begin to see an improvement in your skin.
Epiduo gel works by tackling various factors that contribute to acne. It helps reduce the number of non-inflamed white and blackheads. It has also been shown to visibly reduce acne scarring
Does epiduo contain benzoyl peroxide?
Yes. Epiduo gel contains benzoyl peroxide, an antimicrobial agent that is used to neutralise the acne causing bacteria. Research shows benzoyl peroxide is effective at reducing the number of acne lesions by almost 45%, with complete clearance of acne seen between 15-28% of users.
Side effects from Epiduo gel are typically at their worst during the first few weeks of using the product, for example:
- skin irritation
- skin purging
- skin inflammation
- skin redness
- burning sensation
These are all common side effects and should diminish as your skin adjusts to the acne treatment.
Please consult our online doctor service if these side effects are severe or don't diminish.
We recommend patients who experience dry skin after using acne products, manage skin dryness with a non-greasy moisturiser.
If you find the stinging sensation is too strong, try applying a thinner layer of gel to acne affected skin until your skin becomes accustomed to the medicine.
