It combines adapalene, a retinoid that helps unblock pores, with benzoyl peroxide, which helps clear spots. It is mainly suggested when blackheads and whiteheads are the main problem. Epiduo must not be used during pregnancy or if you are planning a pregnancy. At Ways Pharmacy it is supplied only after a pharmacist has looked at clear photos of your skin, checked your health and confirmed that it is suitable for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to access this medicine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/app.nymoclinic.co.uk\/public\/pgd-book\/ways-pharmacy-holborn\/3d437de7-50d9-4d0c-9946-65a7da7b8b2b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStart your free online assessment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.
