## Description

What is Adapalene? A derivative of vitamin A, Adapalene Gel 0.1% is a member of the retinoid ingredient family and previously only available by prescription. Retinoids help slow down the accumulation of dead skin cells in the pores, which is a main contributor to breakouts. Retinoids help prevent and improve white heads and blackheads. Studies show that compared to other retinoids, Adapalene gel 0.1% causes less irritation to the skin. Adapalene Gel is Oil-Free, Fragrance-Free and dermatologist developed. Is Adapalene Right For Me? Adapalene Gel is suggested for the treatment of acne blemishes, including blackheads, whiteheads and clogged pores. It only needs to be applied once-daily, which is ideal for anyone who doesn’t want to spend a long time on their skincare routine. This product does not contain benzoyl peroxide, which means it won’t bleach your sheets and towels! What to Expect? Adapalene Gel may take up to 3 months of once-daily use to start seeing smoother and clearer skin. Unlike other OTC topical treatments that dry up acne overnight, adapalene works under the skin to unclog pores and clear up acne pimples. You may also experience some dryness and irritation while your skin is adjusting to the treatment.

Review: You got this! Just be prepared for the ride. And hang on! - Started June 8th, today is July 11, 2025 Tips that are very important if you are starting: Keep away from eyes and mouth! Wait to bring it closer once your face gets use to it. My regimen includes Vanicream facial Daily moisturizer, which is really good. You can use one layer that soaks into skin, or add a second for it to sit on skin. Then I use Versed retinol eye balm to protect my eyes and mouth but still get the retinol. I then use a pea size amount of this adapalene around my face and nose, avoiding EYES and MOUTH. Then I put an another layer of vanicream facial moisturizer still avoiding my eye lids and lips. I made the mistake using it on my eyes and mouth, my eyes felt like they weren’t producing tears for a week, and my lips were peeling so bad, it felt like plastic on my lips that hurt so bad if I smiled. I did have to purchase the Cerave healing balm because that happened, and that balm did speed the healing. But because I over did it, I had to take longer breaks. However it does say on the directions avoid eyes and mouth I believe, and I ignored it lol. I did purge but also still am. My acne is below my skin, my face is bumpy to touch although it’s not much visible, that’s why I started adapalene. I’m glad everything is coming to the surface. And if you have acne like that, you will benefit from this product. During the day I use the vanicream daily facial moisturizer and sunblock. To wash my face, I use Cerave Hydrating face wash. It has no suds but my face can feel tight at times so it’s still the best for where I’m at right now. I’m one month in. And I’m proud of myself for not giving up, my skin is changing and the adapalene isn’t as harsh as it was in the beginning. I’ll update later on progress. Also my skin when I started adapalene was dry acne prone sensitive.. my face is changing to balanced acne prone, sensitive still because of the adapalene, tightness more so but not anything the vanicream can’t fix. I’m still in the beginning of this journey. These products helped me. The Sephora mineral sunblock I got on sale for 5 bucks, it’s really good and moisturizing. I thought people should know an honest experience and that you don’t have to get the trends of skincare, find what works, and what works for your wallet. Update Aug 18th, 2025 My skin is still purging. However, my skin is brighter, and there is a noticeable difference in my acne scars. Texture has improved, pores are smaller, and my skin is no longer very dry. Some days are better than others. If I didn’t take photos, I wouldn’t be able to appreciate it as much as I do with being able to see the changes. I feel the changes in my cheeks when I wash, less bumps inside, but they are still showing up.. which is a good thing. They use to just be stuck in my cheeks. The adapalene speeds up the process for sure. 3 months in, acne has not stopped though. It’s a process for sure. Update Sept 25 2025 September 12 I switched to tretinoin. I was none stop purging with adapalene. The adapalene was an excellent starting point. But I don’t purge with the tretinoin. I started using the Parnell calming line at the same time and I have no more inflammation or itchiness. I think using something calming whether it’s a toner or serum with adapaline is a good idea. Something with centella.
Review: Quickly Improves Skin - My son has some traditional, moderate teen acne. This product makes a noticeable difference. Break-outs are smaller and less oily. Difference occurred within first few uses.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this help with scars?**
A: This absolutely helped fade my acne scars super quickly. I have fairly light skin, so that may be a factor in my scarring and how the adapalene works to help it. But I use this 5 nights a week, 10% azaleic acid 2 nights a week, and 5% niacinamide & at least an SPF40 during the daytime, and my skin is completely transformed & even better than it was before some bad breakouts. I hope this helps!

**Q: Is this vegan?**
A: YES all these ingredients can be made synthetically or extracted from fruit, but note that propylene glycol USED to be made from the glycerine in animal fat. But that is just not done anymore.

**Q: Does it only make skin sensitive to sun while the product is on the skin? can i use it at night and wash out next morning? i don't use sunscreen daily**
A: Its suggested to apply this product x1 daily at night. Wash face in AM as normal. Renoids make your skin sensitive to sunlight even after you have washed product off. Its advised to wear Sunscreen daily during use of product & up to 2 weeks afterwards (Even though it's recommended to wear SPF daily regardless). It takes the outter layer of dead skin cells off, making skin more prone to burn which makes the skin barrier not as strong. And this can result in hyperpigmentation, skin sensitivity and overall increase in irritation to the skin. 

**never use product during the daytime. Moisturize well during use. Apply a vitamin C in AM helps also!

**Q: Is adapalene the same as tretinoin .05% cream used for avoiding wrinkes?**
A: They are both retinoids. Tretinoin is a first generation that targets all 3 retinoic acid receptors (RAR), while Adapalene is a third generation retinoid that targets two (beta and gamma).  4th generation retinoids (Aklief) target just one, gamma, which is more abundant in our skin I believe. Adapalene/Differin has not been studied extensively for its effects on wrinkles and photoaging, so it can't be described as such. But there isn't any evidence it doesn't affect wrinkles. There are anecdotal accounts of it working, and there was one study on 0.3% adapalene (prescription only) that there is an effect, but it was funded by Galderma the maker of Differin and Aklief. So some people discount it's validity.

My son has some traditional, moderate teen acne. This product makes a noticeable difference. Break-outs are smaller and less oily. Difference occurred within first few uses.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cleared stubborn acne
*by M***T on December 17, 2025*

I WISH I took before and after pics but this stuff is magic. I’ve had this stubborn acne for awhile and it mostly cleared up the few remaining spots and some texture I had on my chin. My back took a little longer but the texture is disappearing. It spreads easily so you don’t need to use a whole lot. Didn’t cause sensitivity, which often happens with my skin. Does dry fairly quickly. It’s worth trying in my opinion. Cheaper than tretinoin.
