Benzoyl Peroxide + Adapalene skin treatments
About Benzoyl + Adapalene
Benzoyl Peroxide and Adapalene are two topical treatment methods for acne. Individually they both work well with perhaps more evidence for the efficacy of Benzoyl, but together they are even more effective (Gold et al., 2009; Gollnick et al., 2009; Pariser et al., 2007; Thiboutot et al., 2007).
