Adapalene Topical is a form of vitamin A which prevents accumulation of the sebum (skin’s natural oil), unblocks the pores and allows natural exfoliation of the outer layers of skin. Dapsone Topical is an antibiotic which stops the bacteria from producing folic acid, a nutrient required for bacterial multiplication. |
