How to use Epiduo and can it be combined with ichthyol ointment and azelaic acid cream?
Hello
Will I start using epiduo gel or apply it every day and can I also use azelaic acid cream and ichthyol ointment during this treatment? Thank you in advance for your answers ;)

Epiduo, containing adapalene and benzoyl peroxide, is a gel used to treat acne that should be applied once a day, preferably at night, to clean and dry skin. Unless the skin reacts with irritation – then you can limit the frequency (e.g. every other day). About 20 minutes after applying Epiduo Forte, it is worth applying a moisturizing cream. This scheme will help minimize the risk of irritation and ensure the effectiveness of the product.
During the treatment, you can use a cream with azelaic acid, but it is best to use it in the morning to avoid excessive irritation. Ichthyol ointment can be applied as a spot, but should not be applied together with Epiduo. Vitamin C can be applied in the morning, but it is important to use sunscreen, as both substances can sensitize the skin to the sun.
Epiduo also works effectively on blackheads, thanks to its exfoliating and anti-inflammatory properties. It is recommended to consult a dermatologist to determine the best treatment plan and to monitor skin reactions.
If you experience any disturbing symptoms, you should consult a doctor. If you are unable to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:

I forgot to ask if I can still use vitamin C during the treatment and if the gel also works on blackheads?
