Epiduo contains a combination of adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. Adapalene is a retinoid-like compound that is a potent modulator of cellular differentiation and keratinisation and has anti-inflammatory properties. This profile suggests that the cell-mediated inflammatory component of acne is reduced by adapalene. Benzoyl peroxide has been shown to have antimicrobial activity, particularly against Propionibacterium acnes, which is abnormally present in the acne-affected pilosebaceous unit. In addition, benzoyl peroxide has demonstrated exfoliative and keratolytic activities and is sebostatic, counteracting the excessive sebum production associated with acne

Gel combination therapy of clindamycin and tretinoin. Clindamycin is a semisynthetic derivative of the parent compound lincomycin that is produced by Streptomyces lincolnensis and is predominantly bacteriostatic. Topical tretinoin has both comedolytic and anti-inflammatory effects. Tretinoin decreases cohesiveness of follicular epithelial cells resulting in decreased microcomedone formation. Additionally, tretinoin stimulates mitotic activity and increased turnover of follicular epithelial cells, causing extrusion of the comedones.
