Frequently asked questions FOR Deriva-Bpo
Adapalene
Q. My skin is getting dry because of applying Adapalene. How do I manage it?
Adapalene can cause skin dryness at the site of application. To minimize this dryness, you can apply moisturizer to your skin in the day time. However, make sure that you are using a non-comedogenic moisturizer, which is less likely to clog your pores and increases the severity of your acne.
Q. Can I undergo cosmetic procedures while taking Adapalene?
Your doctor will decide whether you can continue taking or stop taking Adapalene before cosmetic procedures. Please ensure that your doctor knows about all the medicines you are taking before any cosmetic procedure.
Q. Is it safe to use Adapalene?
Yes, Adapalene is safe to use when used according to your doctor's advice. However, like all medicines, even this medicine has some side effects, but it is not necessary that anyone who is taking these medicines might get all of the side effects. Please talk to your doctor if you get any unpleasant effects while taking this medicine.
Benzoyl Peroxide
Q. How should Benzoyl Peroxide be applied?
You should remove all of the make-up. Wash your hands and the affected area and gently dry. Put a thin layer of Benzoyl Peroxide cream on the affected skin, using your fingertips. Apply it to the entire area affected by acne, not just each spot. After applying, wash your hands thoroughly with water.
Q. Should Benzoyl Peroxide be left on overnight?
At the beginning of the treatment, Benzoyl Peroxide is usually used once daily in the evening. The area is not washed off after application of Benzoyl Peroxide, so it can be left overnight unless you experience irritation. However, if you experience irritation, consult your doctor.
Q. What should prompt me to discontinue Benzoyl Peroxide?
You should discontinue Benzoyl Peroxide and consult your doctor if you experience severe local irritation, which means severe redness, dryness and itching and stinging/burning sensation.
