Epiduo® Gel Directions

Some things are complicated. Using Epiduo® (adapalene and benzoyl peroxide) Gel, 0.1%/2.5% isn’t one of them.

For best results, follow two simple steps, either in the morning or just before bed, and always according
to your doctor’s instructions.

Wash your face with a gentle, soap-free cleanser (like Cetaphil®) and pat dry
Spread a pea-sized amount of Epiduo® Gel on your face, avoiding your eyes, lips and areas around them

Consistent use will help clear existing acne and help prevent new pimples from forming
