Adapalene + Benzoyl Peroxide
Adapalene + Benzoyl Peroxide is a topical prescription medication used for the treatment of acne vulgaris. It contains two active ingredients: Adapalene, a retinoid, and Benzoyl Peroxide, an antiseptic. Adapalene works by normalizing the cell turnover and decreasing the formation of comedones. Benzoyl peroxide has a bactericidal effect on Propionibacterium acnes, a bacterium that is involved in the development of acne.
Adapalene + Benzoyl Peroxide is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris in patients 12 years of age and older.
- Adapalene + Benzoyl Peroxide should be applied once daily in the evening to the entire affected area after washing the skin with a gentle cleanser and patting it dry.
- A thin layer of the medication should be applied, avoiding the eyes, lips, and mucous membranes.

Sunscreen or sun-blocking agents should be used when exposed to sunlight, as this medication may increase sensitivity to sunlight and the risk of sunburn.
