My doctor prescribed me epiduo a few days ago and I completely forgot to ask if I'm supposed to use it once or twice a day... I just switched off of Benzaclin twice a day. Should I be using it once or twice a day?

It should be used once a day, as this will reduce irritation as opposed to using it twice a day.

It also contains adapalene which is a retinoid. Most people prefer to use retinoids before bed as they can make you very sun sensitive (you will burn easily). Make sure you use an SPF of atleast 15 during the day.

Good luck!

I'm using Epiduo too, it should be used once daily and applied thinly around the spots.
