When applied to the skin, Epiduo Forte may cause initial dryness, redness, or peeling. These effects are usually mild and temporary as the skin adjusts to the treatment. Some users may experience a temporary increase in acne before seeing improvement. It is important to follow the usage instructions provided by a healthcare professional to minimize these effects.

Epiduo Forte should be used with caution, especially for those with sensitive skin. It is important to avoid contact with the eyes, lips, and mucous membranes. Sun exposure should be limited, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen should be used. If irritation occurs, it may be necessary to reduce the frequency of application or consult a healthcare professional.

What does Adapalene, Benzoyl Peroxide interact with?

Epiduo Forte may interact with other topical products, particularly those containing alcohol or strong exfoliants.
