Epiduo Review - Don't Try Epiduo Acne Gel Until Reading This Review

Epiduo Review

Acne is a common problem especially among younger people who find that outbreaks can be embarrassing and often painful and in more severe cases can cause scarring that may last a lifetime. Most people who suffer from this condition want a product that can treat and eliminate acme and manufacturers produce many such products that claim to do just that. One such product is Epiduo acne gel.

Epiduo acne treatment is a topical gel made by Galderma laboratories. It claims to be the only acne treatment that contains both Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide. It is the combination of these two ingredients that are supposed to make this gel more effective at fighting acne than any other acne treatment on the market.

About Adapalene

Adapalene is an anetinoid that has both an anti inflammatory and exfoliating effect, which is used in some acne medications. Adapalene is a substance that has many negative side effects and when used can cause irritation, redness, dry skin, itching and cause your acne to flare up as well making the side effects caused by this anetinoid worse than the acne it is suppose to be treating.

About Benzoyl Peroxide

Benzoyl peroxide is supposed to fight acne by reducing the amount of acne causing bacteria. The side effects of benzoyl peroxide tend to be the drying and peeling of skin.

What You Should Expect

Both Adapalene and benzoyl peroxide are known to be harsh chemicals. When combined inside of Epiduo Gel, you expect to see excessively dry skin, itching and perhaps red patches. Perhaps that is why other acne products may use one or the other of these ingredients but, never the two in combination. Combining these two ingredients into one product such as Epiduo should raise concerns as to whether or not there could be permanent negative effects from prolonged use of these two ingredients. One should hesitate in using two such harsh chemicals on their skin, especially on the face.

Does Epiduo Work

A look at the reviews written by people who have actually used Epiduo acne gel revealed that in most cases the reviewers did not use the product long enough to see if the product would actually help their acne over an extended period of time. The reasons for this was simple. Most users experienced a wide range of negative effects from Epiduo including severe breakouts, cluster breakouts, skin irritations, burning sensations and severely dry skin. The risks of further damaging the skin of their face from these harmful chemicals in most cases out weighed the slight chance that the Epiduo gel might cure their acne problem.

Conclusion

While there is no clear evidence that Epiduo acne gel will work to clear up acne, the well documented side effects that can be experienced with both adapalene and Benzoyl peroxide, which are the main ingredients in this acne treatment, makes it clear that the negative effects of this product far outweighs any possible potential benefits. Those who have acne would be better off using an acne treatment product that is less harsh and known to be more effective.
