Price ≠ effectiveness:

Uses

Acne (pimples)

Medicinal Benefits

Rox-ADP Gel 20 gm is a combination of two drugs: Adapalene and Benzoyl peroxide used to treat acne (pimples). Adapalene is a retinoid (human-made vitamin A) that loosens the cells on the skin’s surface and unblocks pores by reducing oil production in the skin. Thereby, decreases pimples, spots, whiteheads, and blackheads. Also, it increases the production of new skin cells and helps in natural exfoliation (removal of dead skin cells) of the outer layers of the skin. Adapalene has an anti-inflammatory effect and thus reduces irritation and soreness. Benzoyl peroxide is a keratolytic agent that breaks down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) and removes dead skin cells and softens skin. Additionally, Benzoyl peroxide possesses antibacterial properties and kills bacteria that cause acne.
