Brand names: Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel, 0.1%/2.5%
# Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide Overview Adapalene and benzoyl peroxide is a prescription medicine used to treat acne, a common skin condition that causes pimples and breakouts. This medication combines two powerful ingredients that work together to fight acne-causing bacteria and reduce swelling and redness on the skin. You apply it directly to the affected areas of your face or body as directed by your doctor. When using this medication, be careful not to combine it with other acne treatments unless your doctor says it's okay, because using multiple products together can make your skin too irritated. Some side effects may include dryness, redness, or peeling of the skin. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions exactly and talk to them if you experience any unusual reactions. Also, let your doctor know if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications before starting this treatment.
