A member asked:
Can i use adapalene and benzoyl peroxide gel alternatively for acne treatment? like adapalene before bed time and benzoyl peroxide in morning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: This is a good combination treatment. The two medications work in different ways and therefore help each other out. The Adapalene can make you more sensitive to the sun. Be careful in the sun. The benzoyl peroxide can be drying especially in the winter, so a mild moisturizer such as aveeno (oatmeal). You are on minocycline. It can cause grayish pigmentation of the skin/ gums. Not reversible. Rare.
