Twyneo
Twyneo is a combination topical medication used to treat acne vulgaris in individuals aged 9 and older. It contains two active ingredients: tretinoin (a retinoid) and benzoyl peroxide (an antimicrobial agent). Tretinoin helps to unclog pores and prevent the formation of acne, while benzoyl peroxide kills bacteria associated with acne and reduces inflammation. Together, these ingredients work to improve skin texture and reduce acne breakouts.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Twyneo Work?
- Tretinoin promotes cell turnover and helps prevent clogged pores, thereby reducing the formation of acne lesions.
- Benzoyl Peroxide has bactericidal properties, killing the bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) that contribute to acne, while also helping to reduce inflammation and excess oil on the skin.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Treatment of acne vulgaris in individuals aged 9 years and older.
Who Shouldn't Take Twyneo?
- Known hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide, or any other components of the medication.
- Severe skin irritation or open wounds, as the medication can worsen irritation.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Apply Twyneo once daily in the evening, following a gentle cleansing routine. Avoid using harsh scrubs or other irritating skincare products while using Twyneo.
- Use a sunscreen during the day, as tretinoin can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, increasing the risk of sunburn.
- Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. If the medication accidentally gets into these areas, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Be aware that some dryness, peeling, or redness is common during the first few weeks of use. If irritation becomes severe, consult your healthcare provider.
- Store Twyneo at room temperature and keep it out of reach of children.
