This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
How Peroduo Gel works
Peroduo Gel is a combination of two medicines: Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide, which treats acne (pimples). Adapalene is a form of vitamin A and Benzoyl Peroxide is a keratolytic medicine. Together, they prevent accumulation of the sebum (skin’s natural oil), unblock the pores and allow natural exfoliation of the outer layers of skin. Benzoyl Peroxide additionally penetrates into the skin and kills acne-causing bacteria.

Patient concerns
Hello doctor, I have been suffering from acne and their marks for a lot of time. The acne breakouts are occassional and they disappear after the use of medicines i.e Periduo for pimples and Sabiglow for the marks. I have just started using Sabiglow and I'm yet to observe any improvement. I've heard about the vitamin c serum and it's benefits for reducing depigmentation and acne scars on the face. I am attaching photos of the marks on my face, please take a look and let me know your opinion and please tell me how should I use the Vit. C serum. I dhall Thanks

I've had horrible acne since at least 4 years and decided to get help from a dermatologist 1 year ago. Initially I was prescribed Peroduo gel (Adapalene 0.1%) to be applied before bed and cleargel(clindamycin phosphate) during the day. It didn't seem to do anything at all. I was then put on Tretiva - 20 mg (Isotretinoin) oral and the peroduo gel was changed to peroclin(Clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide) gel which worked a little but not much. The cleargel was changed to Clincure - N (Clindamycin and niacinamide). After this failed, I was told to continue with the dosage of isotretinoin brought up to 30mg per day. This also did not do much. After some research on my own, I decided to try stronger medications by myself. I currently take Tretiva 30 daily and use Azelaic Acid 20% cream during the day and Tazarotene 0.1% (Tazret Forte) before bed and although this has helped a lot compared to what the condition of my face was in the past, the problem still persists. I've also tried topical tretinoin 0.05%(Retino - A) but that didn't make a huge difference. I find the tazarotene works better than the tretinoin cream. At the moment, my pimples have gone down in number but I do have a lot of hyperpigmentation on the sides of my face and redness on my cheeks which is sometimes irritated when touched. I use SPF 40 sunscreen when I go outside and as a moisturizer I use Aquasoft FC by Ajanta pharmaceuticals. I'm also prescribed two facewashes - AHAglow S (Morning) by Torrent and Brevoxyl 4% (Evening) What should I do to fix this problem completely? Should I revisit my dermatologist and ask for a dosage increase in the isotretinoin? Any advice or help is highly appreciated. Thank you very much.
