Common Questions
Does acne come back if you stop treatment?
Stopping Epiduo (adapalene/benzoyl peroxide) can allow your acne to come back if you stop treatment too soon. Use the medication as prescribed to ensure you get the most out of your treatment. Do not increase or decrease your dosage levels. If you're considering stopping Epiduo (adapalene/benzoyl peroxide) but are worried about your acne returning, talk with your primary care provider or dermatologist for their recommendations.
Is Epiduo (adapalene/benzoyl peroxide) considered to be a retinol?
Epiduo contains adapalene, which is a retinoid. Both retinol and adapalene are retinoids, or vitamin A-based medications. Both adapalene and retinol are available in over-the-counter products, but the adapalene available in some prescription products is stronger than what’s available over the counter.
Can Epiduo (adapalene/benzoyl peroxide) be used twice per day?
No. The treatment can only be applied once per day or otherwise suggested by your primary care doctor or dermatologist. Using the product more than once daily may increase the risk of side effects, which can damage your skin.
