🛒 How to order this item?
Adaben Duo Gel is a dermatological preparation classified as an 'antiacne' medication used to treat acne (pimples) and remove the upper dead layer of the skin. Acne occurs when hair follicles become blocked with dead skin cells and oil, providing a breeding ground for acne-causing bacteria.
This gel contains a combination of two drugs: Adapalene and Benzoyl peroxide. Adapalene, a retinoid, works by loosening skin cells on the surface and unblocking pores, reducing oil production, and decreasing pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. Benzoyl peroxide, a keratolytic agent, breaks down keratin (a protein in the skin) to remove dead skin cells, softens the skin, and possesses antibacterial properties to kill acne-causing bacteria.
Here are some important instructions for using Adaben Duo Gel:

Acne, commonly known as pimples, is a prevalent skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become blocked with dead skin cells and oil, leading to the formation of various types of lesions such as pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. While acne can affect individuals of all ages, it is most commonly observed during adolescence and teenage years due to hormonal changes.
Symptoms of acne can vary from mild to severe and may include:
Treatment for acne typically involves a combination of topical creams, cleansers, and oral medications, depending on the severity of the condition. Some common treatment options include:
It's essential to consult a dermatologist to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your individual needs and to monitor your progress effectively. Additionally, maintaining good skincare practices, such as gentle cleansing, avoiding excessive scrubbing or picking at the skin, and using non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) skincare products, can help manage acne and prevent future breakouts.
Adaben Duo 20 gel is approved for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris in patients aged 12 and up. Adapalene, one of its active ingredients, binds to nuclear retinoic acid receptors, modulating cellular differentiation, keratinization, and inflammatory processes. This normalizes follicular epithelial cell differentiation, reducing microcomedone formation. Benzoyl peroxide, another active ingredient, acts as a bacteriocidal and keratolytic oxidizing agent.
Use concomitant topical acne therapy with caution as a possible cumulative irritancy effect may occur.
Do not use if hypersensitive to any of the components.
Should not be administered to individuals hypersensitive to any of its components.
Store in a cool (below 25°C) and dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children, and keep the tube tightly closed after use.
