Epiduo is a topical treatment for acne, specifically acne vulgaris. Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition that presents with symptoms including, but not limited to, blackheads, whiteheads, papules and pustules.
Epiduo is a combination drug, which means it contains more than one active ingredient and works in multiple ways in your body. The first of the gel?s active ingredients is a retinoid, the second is an antimicrobial agent.
You can order this treatment without needing a prior prescription, however, you must first have been diagnosed by a healthcare professional.
What strengths of Epiduo are available?
Epiduo comes in two different strengths. Epiduo 0.3% is a more potent version of Epiduo 0.1%. Both versions contain the same active ingredients and work in the same way – they differ in their concentration of the active ingredient adapalene.
