Consultation price. The medicine is paid at your pharmacy.

What it is and how it works
Adapalene + benzoyl peroxide is a fixed-dose gel combining a topical retinoid with an antimicrobial. It is authorised in the EU for acne vulgaris with comedones, papules and pustules, and NICE lists it as a first-line 12-week option for acne of any severity, and as the preferred maintenance treatment afterwards.
It is contraindicated in pregnancy and in women planning a pregnancy. A licensed doctor confirms this, checks the type of acne and reviews response at 12 weeks.
Who it is for
- One thin film at night over the whole acne-prone area
- Retinoid and antimicrobial in one gel; no antibiotic
