Galderma’s Epiduo Forte / Epiduo Gel

Epiduo Forte is a treatment for acne vulgaris. Contains the same ingredients as Epiduogel, adapalene and benzoyl peroxide.
Epiduogel contains 0.1% adapalene, while Epiduo Forte contains a higher concentration of 0.3%.

Epiduo Forte has the effect of preventing pore blockage by inhibiting the differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes by adapalene, and has the effect of promoting peeling of the stratum corneum of the skin by inhibiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria by benzoyl peroxide. By improving the symptoms of acne.

Epiduo Forte treats acne through the complementary action of the above two active ingredients.

Epiduo gel is a treatment for acne vulgaris. Contains the active ingredients adapalene and benzoyl peroxide.

Epiduo gel treats acne with its antibacterial and peeling effects. Adapalene, an active ingredient contained in Epiduogel, inhibits the differentiation of keratinocytes in the epidermis and removes clogged pores, thereby preventing new acne from forming and reducing inflamed acne.

The active ingredient benzoyl peroxide exerts an antibacterial effect against acne bacteria, the causative agent of acne, through its strong oxidizing effect. It also improves clogging of pores, which causes acne, by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells and making it easier to exfoliate dead skin cells.
