Adapalene

Uses

Adapalene is used in the treatment of acne.

How it Works

How Adapalene works Adapalene is a form of vitamin A that treats acne. It functions by preventing the accumulation of sebum, the skin's natural oil, which helps to unclog pores and promotes the natural exfoliation of the outer layers of skin.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Adapalene include erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, xerosis, and scaling.

Expert Advice

  • Adapalene helps treat mild to moderate acne.
  • Apply it to the affected area once a day at bedtime.
  • Avoid exposure to strong sunlight and artificial UV light.
  • Use non-comedogenic sunscreen products and wear protective clothing over the treated area.
  • Avoid contact with eyes or mouth; if contact occurs, rinse with water immediately.
  • Do not apply to broken, sunburnt, or sensitive areas of skin.
  • Inform your doctor if you notice unusual dryness, redness, or peeling of the skin.
  • Avoid any cosmetic procedures without consulting your doctor first.
  • Do not use Adapalene if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
