Adapalene

Adapalene is a topical retinoid medicine used on the skin to help treat acne. It comes in gel form and is applied directly to affected areas as directed by a healthcare professional.

It works by helping keep pores clear and reducing the formation of acne lesions. Common uses include blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed acne. Avoid getting it in the eyes, mouth, or broken skin, and use sunscreen because it can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight.
