Some people see results in as little as a week, for others it may take longer. In clinical studies, acne continued to improve over several months. Consistent use is important. If you have been using Epiduo consistently and have not seen any improvement, consider consulting a dermatologist.
Use Differin Epiduo once a day, either in the morning or at night. If your skin feels dry, you can use a moisturizer more often, as needed. You can start slow by using Differin Epiduo every other day or every third day, gradually increasing to daily use. Using more than once a day may result in irritation.
Yes, moisturizer is recommended in the morning and night. Use a moisturizer after applying Differin Epiduo. Look for moisturizers with ingredients that support the skin's barrier. To avoid risk of irritation avoid products with chemical or physical exfoliants or other retinol products. Tell your facialist before receiving a treatment and avoid waxing.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a doctor before using Differin Epiduo.
