Description

Adapalene & Benzoyl Peroxide Gel is a type of skin medicine that helps treat acne and remove the top layer of dead skin. Acne is a common skin problem that happens when hair follicles get clogged with dead skin cells and oil. The bacteria that causes acne likes to eat the oil from your skin, which makes your skin red and swollen.

Adapalene & Benzoyl Peroxide Gel is a mix of two medicines: Adapalene (retinoids) and Benzoyl peroxide (keratolytic agent). Adapalene is a type of medicine that is like vitamin A. It helps to improve skin by making cells on the skin’s surface looser and reducing oil production, which can help to unblock pores. This reduces pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. Benzoyl peroxide is a substance that helps remove dead skin cells and makes the skin softer by breaking down a protein called keratin. Keratin is a part of the skin’s structure. Also, Benzoyl peroxide can kill the bacteria that cause acne because it has properties that fight against bacteria.

The gel is made up of two drugs, Adapalene and Benzoyl peroxide. It is a retinoid by alters the growth of cells and reduces swelling and inflammation. Benzoyl peroxide has a drying effect and it is beneficial in cleansing the skin from oil and dust. The gel is used to treat acne, along with quick healing.

How To Use Adapalene & Benzoyl Peroxide Gel

  • Wash your hands before applying this medication. Gently clean the affected area with a mild or soap-free cleanser and pat dry. Apply a thin layer of this medication as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. Using your fingertips, apply a small amount of medication (about the size of a pea) to the affected skin area.
  • Use this medication on the skin only. Do not apply to the inner lip area, inside the nose/mouth, or on mucous membranes. Do not apply to skin that is cut, scratched, sunburned, or has eczema.
  • Avoid getting this medication in your eyes. If this medication gets into your eyes, rinse with plenty of water. Call your doctor if eye irritation develops. Wash your hands after using the medication to avoid accidental contact with your eyes.
  • The dosage and treatment plan depend on your medical condition and response to treatment.
  • During the first few weeks of using adapalene, your acne may become worse as the medication works on pimples that form inside the skin.
  • Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time each day. Do not use larger amounts or use more often than recommended. Your skin will not improve any faster and this will increase the risk of redness, peeling, and pain.
  • Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it gets worse.
  • Because this medication is absorbed through the skin and may harm an unborn baby, women who are or may be pregnant should not use this medication.
