Adapalene 0.1% USP Gel, Paraben Free, Retinoid Acne-Prone Facial Treatment for Sensitive Skin, Prescription Strength (1.6 Oz)

This is a Retinoid. It's not just for acne. Use it for a few months and your skin will feel firmer. Yesterday the bus driver questioned me over my senior bus pass because he did not believe I was a senior. No itching or peeling, gentle exfoliation and brightening. Great price for something you would pay more for at the drugstore. Years of science back this up. Sure, it works on cystic acne, but it works on aging skin even more surprisingly so.

Amazing product. It will reduce dark spots or lighten skin. It’s very impressive. Make sure to look up how and when best to use for your issues. I was directed to product ingredients by Chat GPT. And I’m glad I got it. Works

I bought this more times than I can count. I mix the gel with a hydrating serum & put it in a pump container to use daily. That way I can control the exact amount that goes on my sensitive combo skin and add more to certain areas. I don’t have to be uber careful with ultra thin layers on drier areas. It is my go-to for spot treatments as well. It heals a nasty pimple immediately.

Works well for occasional breakouts

This product helped get my painful, tender acne on my cheeks and chin under control. 1.I had to build up my tolerance gradually, starting with 1–2 applications per week before increasing frequency. 2. I only use it at night (photosensitivity) and always follow with a moisturizer. You might see dry, flaky patches of skin as you build up tolerance. 3. As an added bonus, this version costs less than the name-brand version. I’ve seen significant improvement in active breakouts, though I’m still working on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from previous acne. Overall, it’s been effective for managing my acne and preventing new blemishes.

This is what the dermatologist recommended to me. She said it's like a couple molecules removed from Differin gel. In the retinol family. You probably already know that if you're here. Can't beat this price. This really does smooth out your skin and shrink your pores if you use it consistently but go easy to start on dry clean skin. And remember not to wax if you've been using it!

Omg idk why I have not known about this medicine before it is god sareas. Am a woman in my 30's with weird hormones, I wear light makeup everyday to work because of acne scars and I take off my makeup after work and steam my face to open my pores and put this stuff on and in about 4 days I started noticing a change. My skin is so darn stubborn.. somedays it can be oily, somedays combo, somedays dry in weird aread. I've tried the dermatologists meds for a while I was on Accutane, and doxycycline the oral med, and everything I used it just was like mehh... but this stuff is amazing. Normally I drink my coffee with milk and my skin breaks out but I also have tried drinking it with milk on this med and it still works. I just hope my skin doesn't get used to it and stop working. But I do think a facial steamer everyday on your face to open your pores is good to let the medicine in.

The product arrived in good time and the packaging was all good. I read many other reviewers say that they received a much smaller tube than they were expecting. I don't know what they were expecting but the sizing was clearly marked in the product info and I received exactly what I was expecting. I'm new to retinoid's, but after having done extensive research I found adapalene gel is the best you can get without a prescription. You do have to be careful to not overuse this product or you will have burns! Since I started using it just three days a week instead of every other day and amped up my moisturizer game I've had no more issues. It is essential you use a sunscreen with this in the daytime and I use a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid as needed. I have pretty sensitive skin and am very prone to breakouts but I've had no troubles so far. I've only been using it about a month so I can't actually see any results as of yet but only time will tell. I will try to update if possible with photos in a few months with before and afters. Also with Summer coming, we'll see how well it holds up in all the sun! I did get a pretty bad burn initially around my eyes, you have to apply it lightly around your eyes and I do NOT recommend using the Vaseline trick as this stuff is meant to absorb naturally. Too much saturation WILL cause your skin to burn and crack! It feels like the worst sunburn you've ever had but crispier. It is not pleasant. A couple days of coating on hyaluronic acid moisturizer though gave me much needed relief and took care of the problem. Most dermatologists recommend you only need three things for perfect skin, a good retinoid, SPF, and moisturizer. This is a much more affordable option than the name brand and see absolutely no reason why it shouldn't work just as well. A little goes a long way and it doesn't leave any greasy residue. It is recommended you don't use it straight out of the shower or right after washing your face as it absorbs too quickly that way. So wait a few minutes after washing your face to apply it, go easy around the eyes as the skin is much thinner there, and then wait another ten to fifteen minutes and generously apply some moisturizer. Follow these steps and use this product conscientiously and you should have no problems.

I have used many creams, but this cream is very different and I am very satisfied.

Vale la pena, Un viaje de 3 meses usando este producto, realmente al inicio es lo peor por la sensibilidad y resequedad, salen muchos brotes como por un mes, el famoso efecto purga pero con una constancia de uso diario por las noches, con un chicharito y crema hipoalergenica de cerave ha rendido frutos y estoy mejor que nunca, aún me falta mejorar y tratar mis cicatrices pero ha sido una gran decisión

Muy recomendado si tiene acne

Literalmente tengo la piel super limpia gracias a este producto, en años no habia tenido la piel tan limpia totalmente recomendable!

Llegó antes de tiempo, muy buen producto!
