Acnedap Plus Gel 15gm

Question 1

How does Acnedap Plus Gel 15gm work?

Accepted Answer

Acnedap Plus Gel 15gm contains Adapalene and Dapsone. Adapalene is a retinoid (synthetic or man-made vitamin A) that works by loosening the cells on the skin’s surface and unblocks pores by reducing the production of oil in the skin. Thereby, decreases pimples, whiteheads and blackheads.

Thereby, stops or slows down the growth of bacteria and clears acne.
