Deriva-BPO Gel is used to treat acne, including blackheads, whiteheads and inflamed pimples. It is a combination medicine containing adapalene, a retinoid, and benzoyl peroxide, an antibacterial, and belongs to a group of medicines called topical anti-acne agents.
This medicine helps unblock pores, reduces acne-causing bacteria and calms inflammation, which also helps prevent new spots from forming. Apply a thin layer to the whole affected area once a day in the evening, after washing and drying the skin, as directed by your doctor. Keep it away from the eyes, lips, mouth and inside the nose. Improvement usually takes a few weeks, so keep using it as prescribed.
Using a gentle cleanser, an oil-free moisturiser and a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day can help manage dryness and protect the skin. Avoid scrubs, waxing and other strong acne products on treated skin unless your doctor advises.
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, and tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding. Before using it, tell your doctor if you have sensitive, sunburnt or broken skin, or eczema, and about other skin products you use. This gel can bleach hair, clothing and bedding, so let it dry fully. Contact your doctor if irritation is severe or you notice swelling or blistering. Do not stop using this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
