We’ll walk you through, step by step…
Developed for acne-prone skin to gently wash away dirt, oil, and debris, leaving skin feeling refreshed and hydrated.
A topical retinoid medication used for the treatment of acne in people age 12 years and older.
NOTE: It is HIGHLY recommended that you use a moisturizer following your use of Adapalene Gel. If your skin is sensitive, you can apply the moisturizer before the Adapalene Gel.
Absorbs quickly and provides a long-lasting, anti-shine finish while delivering broad spectrum protection from the sun’s harmful rays.
It won't happen to everyone, but it is worth mentioning retinization, the adjustment period in which the skin becomes acclimated to Adapalene Gel. During this time skin may become red, flaky and irritated. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you use a moisturizer to help relieve symptoms of retinization which typically begin to subside around week 4 of your retinoid treatment.
Pro Tip: Some users may notice a reaction. Just be patient with your skin right now as it’s undergoing a lot of changes. Also be sure to stay moisturized and use sunscreen.
Pro Tip: If you’re one of the people who feel dry, be sure to use a moisturizer. Just make sure it’s one that doesn’t contain an active acne ingredient.
Reminder: Protect your new, healthy-looking skin with sunscreen each and every day.
Reminder: Ready to head off to school or work? Did you moisturize and put on sunscreen? If not, apply some now!
Reminder: We can’t stress it enough: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Use an SPF moisturizer by day and a light moisturizer without an acne active at night.
Some, but not all users may experience dryness, redness, irritation - known as retinization -- while your skin adjusts to Adapalene Gel. The best defense is to generously hydrate with a moisturizer both day and night as part of your skincare regimen.
Retinization is a normal part of the process and side effects typically start to subside by Week 4.
