About Deriva-BPO Gel
Deriva-BPO Gel is a two-ingredient acne gel made by Glenmark. It pairs adapalene, a topical retinoid (vitamin A–derived), with benzoyl peroxide, an antibacterial and keratolytic ingredient. The carton lists adapalene as microspheres, and the gel comes in a 15 g tube.
Because it contains two actives, it is a different product from adapalene-only gels. If you are comparing options, the difference is the added benzoyl peroxide.
How to use
Directions on the pack, or from your doctor or pharmacist, always come first. As commonly listed for this product:
- Wash the affected area with a mild cleanser and pat dry.
- Apply a thin layer once daily in the evening to the areas affected by acne. A thin layer is enough; more does not work faster and can increase irritation.
- Keep the gel away from eyes, lips, nostrils and other sensitive areas.
- Wash your hands after applying.
- Use a sunscreen during the day.
Who may consider it
- Adults dealing with acne that includes both clogged pores (blackheads/whiteheads) and inflamed pimples
- People who want a single gel that combines a retinoid with benzoyl peroxide
- Anyone comparing it with adapalene-only gels or with the adapalene + clindamycin combination (Deriva-CMS)
If you are unsure which acne product suits your skin, speak to a doctor, dermatologist or pharmacist first.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply Deriva-BPO Gel?
The commonly listed directions are a thin layer once a day in the evening on clean, dry skin, avoiding eyes, lips and nostrils. Follow the pack or your doctor's instructions.
Do I need sunscreen with Deriva-BPO Gel?
Yes, sun protection is advised. Adapalene can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, and sun exposure should be limited.
Can Deriva-BPO Gel bleach hair or clothes?
Yes. Benzoyl peroxide can bleach hair and coloured fabrics, so keep it off them and wash your hands after use.
Can I use it while pregnant?
Adapalene + benzoyl peroxide leaflets advise against use in pregnancy or when planning a pregnancy. Speak to your doctor first.
