Yes, both Epiduo and Epiduo Forte can increase your risk of sunburn. If possible, while you’re using either of these drugs, avoid sunlight, sunlamps, and tanning beds.
If you can’t avoid sunlight, you should use a noncomedogenic sunscreen (sunscreen that is less likely to clog your pores and cause acne). You should also wear protective clothing to cover areas of your body where you apply Epiduo or Epiduo Forte.
If you have concerns about your risk of sunburn while using Epiduo or Epiduo Forte, talk with your doctor. They can help advise you on how to avoid sunburn.
