Adapalene and Benzoyl peroxide (acne cream) is a topical anti-acne medicine used to treat pimples  (acne vulgaris). It contains Adapalene 0.1%, a retinoid that helps prevent clogging of pores, and Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%, an antibacterial agent that helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and excess oil on the skin. 

This combination helps reduce pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, redness, swelling, and acne-related inflammation. It also helps prevent the formation of new acne lesions and improves overall skin texture with regular use.
