Description

How Does Epiduo Work?

Epiduo has two active ingredients: adapalene 0.1% and benzoyl peroxide 2.5%. Adapalene addresses your acne by inhibiting the keratinocyte differentiation that leads to clogged hair follicles on the skin.� Benzoyl peroxide works by reducing bacteria as an antiseptic. The combination heals acne and reduces the chances of reoccurrence.
