What is it?

An effective combination treatment of prescription-only medications used in the management of mild to moderate acne. The active ingredients are:
  • Doxycycline 100mg Caps: Doxycycline (an oral antibiotic)
  • Epiduo 0.1% or 0.3% Gel: Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide

Key Benefits:

  • When combined together, these products may yield better results than if used individually. They work to combat acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and help in skin exfoliation, promoting clearer skin.
  • Doxycycline directly targets bacteria that cause acne, reducing inflammation from within.
  • Epiduo combines a retinoid (Adapalene) that promotes skin cell turnover with Benzoyl Peroxide, which reduces bacteria and inflammation.
  • Significantly reduces the number of acne spots and the severity of breakouts.

Dosage & Usage:

  • Doxycycline 100mg Caps: Take one capsule daily with water, preferably with food, as directed by your healthcare professional.
  • Epiduo Gel (0.1% or 0.3%): Apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily, typically in the evening, after cleansing. If it is your first time using Epiduo or you have sensitive skin, we advise starting with the lower strength (0.1%). If tolerated you can then step up to the higher strength (0.3%) after 1 month.

Duration:

Improvements in acne symptoms are often noticeable within a few weeks. For best results, continue treatment consistently for at least 3 months or as advised by your healthcare provider.
