Epiduo is used for the treatment of acne. This gel combines two active ingredients, Adapalene and Benzoyl peroxide which work together but in different ways.
Adapalene belongs to a group of products known as retinoids and acts specifically on the skin processes that cause acne. Benzoyl peroxide works as an antimicrobial agent to prevent the growth of bacteria, and helps with softening and peeling the outer layer of the skin.
