Adlene 0.1% Gel

Adlene 0.1% Gel is a prescription acne medicine that contains adapalene 0.1% in each tube. Adapalene belongs to the retinoid class and is used on the skin to help treat acne vulgaris, including blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammatory pimples. The gel form spreads easily over the skin and is designed for topical use only. Adlene 0.1% Gel is made by Talent India and is supplied in a strip/box of 10 tubes.

How it works: Adapalene helps keep skin pores from clogging by normalizing the way skin cells shed inside the follicle. In gel form, Adlene 0.1% Gel delivers the medicine directly to the affected skin to reduce acne lesions over time.

Adlene 0.1% Gel is the lower-strength adapalene option and is often chosen when a patient needs a gentler retinoid start, has sensitive skin, or is beginning acne treatment for the first time. Compared with higher-strength adapalene products, the 0.1% gel may be easier to tolerate, though dryness and peeling can still happen as the skin adjusts. A doctor may prefer Adlene 0.1% Gel for ongoing maintenance or for acne that does not need a stronger retinoid.

• Acne vulgaris
• Blackheads
• Whiteheads
• Inflamed pimples
• Maintenance acne treatment

• Use Adlene 0.1% Gel exactly as your doctor tells you, usually on clean, dry skin.
• Apply a thin layer to the acne-prone area, not just to individual spots, unless your prescriber says otherwise.
• Wash your hands after applying the gel.
• Use it in the evening if directed, since retinoids are commonly applied once daily at night.
• Avoid applying to broken, sunburned, or irritated skin.
• Do not use more than prescribed; using extra gel will not work faster and may cause more irritation.

Each tube of Adlene 0.1% Gel provides adapalene 0.1% for topical use. The usual frequency is once daily, but your doctor decides the right schedule based on your skin, irritation risk, and acne severity. Do not apply more often than prescribed, and do not use more than one daily application unless your prescriber specifically instructs you to.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Adapalene may include:

• Dry skin
• Skin peeling
• Redness
• Mild burning or stinging
• Itching
• Irritation at the application site

• Use only on the skin; do not take by mouth.
• Avoid the eyes, lips, corners of the nose, and other mucous membranes.
• Because Adlene 0.1% Gel can make skin more sensitive, use sunscreen and limit excess sun exposure.
• Do not apply to cuts, eczema, sunburn, or severely irritated skin unless your doctor says it is okay.
• Do not use harsh scrubs, astringents, or alcohol-heavy skin products if they worsen irritation.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding before using this acne medicine.
• If irritation is severe, your doctor may tell you to use it less often or stop temporarily.

• Other topical retinoids
• Benzoyl peroxide or acne products that can increase dryness if layered too aggressively
• Abrasive cleansers, scrubs, and peel products
• Products containing alcohol, menthol, or astringents that irritate skin
• Other medicines that make skin more sun-sensitive
