Made by Galderma Laboratories, Epiduo Gel (adapalene and benzoyl peroxide) 0.1% / 2.5% approved by FDA later 2008 will be availabe on pharmacy nationalwide this quarter.
Epiduo Gel (prescription acne treatment) claims to be the "first and only, once-daily, topical acne treatment that combines the well-tolerated retinoid adapalene, and benzoyl peroxide".
The idea is that Epiduo combines 2 of the most efficient acne tratment, one topical retinoid and an antimicrobial.
Hope this will work better, I am so sik and tired of trying unefficient acne cures:)

Hi there! It's been over a year since you posted and I just wondered if you have had any luck with Epiduo? I just started using it for my mild acne condition and like I've read, I've experienced the burning, dryness, and redness all over my face, mostly around my mouth. Keep in mind, I've only been on it for a week. How long did it take for you to get rid of those side effects? And what kind of moisturizer did you use, if any? I use Mary Kay (for oily skin) moisturizer and it seems to burn after I apply the Epiduo at night. The Epiduo does already seem to burn before I apply the moisturizer though, the moisturizer just adds to it. Any suggestions on what to use for a moisturizer that won't burn?
