Epiduo Gel

The Gel was developed by Galderma, a pharma concern that focuses solely on dermatology. It is the only topical acne treatment that does not contain antibiotics and has a dosage of 0.1% adapalene and 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. This combination is very effective in the treatment of acne vulgaris. This acne ointment helps to get rid of the acne and helps the prevention of future outbreaks.

Epiduo Gel contains two effective medicines: adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. Adapalene belongs to the group of retinoids, and its main purpose is to clean the pores. That is important in order to stop the inflammation process and the build-up of acne. The other important component of the Gel is benzoyl peroxide, an antimicrobial component, which kills the bacteria that are responsible for acne vulgaris and helps in the prevention of future outbreaks.

The unique combination of ingredients ensures a broad spectrum effect of the acne ointment, and the prevention of acne vulgaris in the long term. Most of the other medications on the market contain only one of those ingredients. Epiduo Gel combines both, since adapalene and benzoyl peroxide have different functions, but work well together. The combination of both ingredients in one acne treatment is not only worthwhile in the long term, but also much more efficient.

The correct application of the Epiduo Gel is to use a pea- sized amount, which has to be applied once daily to the acne- affected area. Before applying the acne ointment, you should thoroughly clean your face or other affected areas with water and then let it dry. While applying the acne ointment in a thin layer, stay clear of the lips, eyes and mucous membranes.

With the right application the Gel can last up to three months. At Apomeds you can get the Epiduo Gel in the following dose: Epiduo Gel 45 g.
