A member asked:

Is epiduo gel a tropical steroid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Epiduo is a combination acne gel containing adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. Epiduo is not a topical steroid. Topical medicine (not tropical) is a foam, liquid, gel, lotion, cream, or ointment for the surface of the skin.
