How it works

Adapalene Topical is a form of vitamin A which treats acne (pimples). It makes the condition better by preventing accumulation of the sebum (skin’s natural oil) which unblocks the pores and allows natural exfoliation of the outer layers of skin.
Benzoyl Peroxide belongs to the class of drugs called as keratolytic agents. It acts by killing the acne causing bacteria thereby preventing the infection. It also has peeling and drying properties.
