Adaferin Gel 0.1% is a topical medication formulated to treat mild to moderate acne. Its active ingredient, adapalene, belongs to the retinoid class of medicines, which help reduce inflammation, prevent the formation of new pimples, and unclog pores. This gel is lightweight, non-comedogenic, and suitable for daily use, making it an effective solution for achieving clearer and healthier skin.
- Avoid using Adaferin Gel on broken, sunburned, or eczema-affected skin.
- Do not apply to the eyes, lips, or inside the nose.
- Limit sun exposure and use sunscreen to prevent irritation or sunburn.
- Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to conceive.
- Consult a dermatologist before using other skincare products, especially those containing exfoliants or alcohol.
While Adaferin Gel is generally safe, some users may experience:
- Mild skin irritation
- Redness or peeling
- Dryness or flaking
- Burning or stinging sensation
Severe reactions are rare but require medical attention, such as intense swelling, severe itching, or blistering. Discontinue use and consult your doctor if these occur.
- Cleanse the Skin: Wash your face gently with a mild cleanser and pat dry.
- Apply a Thin Layer: Use a small amount of Adaferin Gel on the affected areas once daily, preferably at bedtime. Avoid the eyes, mouth, and nostrils.
- Moisturize: If dryness occurs, follow up with an oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
- Sun Protection: Apply sunscreen during the day, as this gel may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight.
Note: Consistency is key for visible results. It may take 8–12 weeks to see significant improvement.
