EPIDUO FORTE
45
EPIDUO FORTE is a prescription-strength acne treatment. While most inactive ingredients are safe, the active ingredients (Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide) carry higher EWG scores due to potential for significant skin irritation, free radical production, and developmental concerns associated with retinoids. This product should only be used under medical supervision.
