Introduction
Acdap Duo Gel is a combination medicine used to treat acne. It works by removing the dead layer of skin on the surface and stopping the growth of bacteria. The gel contains Adapalene, a form of vitamin A, and Benzoyl Peroxide, a keratolytic medicine. Together, they prevent the accumulation of sebum, unblock pores, and allow natural exfoliation of the outer skin layers. Benzoyl Peroxide also penetrates the skin to kill acne-causing bacteria. While effective, it may cause skin sensitivity, especially towards sunlight, and should be used with caution. Consult your doctor for proper usage and potential side effects.
Directions for Use
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
How it works
Acdap Duo Gel is a combination of Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide. Adapalene is a form of vitamin A that prevents the accumulation of sebum and unblocks pores, allowing natural exfoliation of the skin. Benzoyl Peroxide is a keratolytic medicine that penetrates the skin and kills acne-causing bacteria.
Quick Tips
Apply it to the affected area once a day at bedtime. It makes your skin more sensitive toward sunlight. Apply sunscreen or wear protective clothing while stepping out. Avoid getting it in your eyes or mouth. If this happens, rinse with water immediately. Do not apply to broken, sunburnt, or sensitive areas of skin. Inform your doctor if you notice unusual dryness, redness, and peeling of the skin. Be careful when applying Acdap Duo Gel to large areas since it can bleach hair, clothing, and furnishings upon contact.
