How Tactupump works
Tactupump targets two causes of acne
Acne grows from clogged pores and from bacteria that feed on oil in those pores. Adapalene is a retinoid that helps skin cells shed normally and keeps pores open.
Benzoyl peroxide lowers acne-causing bacteria and helps clear clogged pores. Together they treat both sides of the problem.

Start my assessmentIt combines two acne treatments. Adapalene keeps pores from clogging, and benzoyl peroxide lowers bacteria. Together they treat clogged pores and inflamed pimples.
Give it time. Many people need several weeks to see a clear change, and full benefit can take a few months. Dryness and peeling are common early on.
Most people have fewer blemishes over time. Results vary. Tactupump controls acne but does not cure it, so keep using it as your clinician advises.
Yes, when it is appropriate for you. A Canadian-licensed medical professional reviews your online intake. Your clinician decides if Tactupump is right for you.
Dryness, redness, peeling and stinging are the most common effects. The gel can bleach hair and fabric. A gentle moisturizer and daily sunscreen help.
Do not use it if you are allergic to adapalene or benzoyl peroxide. Avoid broken skin, eczema patches and sunburn. Tell your clinician if you are pregnant, plan a pregnancy or breastfeed.
Options include adapalene alone, benzoyl peroxide alone, azelaic acid, clindamycin-based products, dapsone gel, doxycycline, cefadroxil and isotretinoin. Your clinician explains which fit your acne.
Often yes. Use a gentle cleanser and a light moisturizer. Avoid harsh scrubs, strong exfoliants and other retinoids unless your clinician says so. Tell us about every product you use.
Tell your clinician if you are pregnant, plan a pregnancy or breastfeed. Your clinician decides if it is right for you and may suggest another option.
Yes. Tactupump and Tactupump Forte are brands, and generic versions exist from Sandoz and Taro in both strengths. They contain the same active ingredients. Your pharmacist can tell you what your plan covers.
