How It Works

Adapalene is a third-generation topical retinoid that works by regulating skin cell turnover and preventing the blockage of hair follicles. It also reduces inflammation by inhibiting inflammatory pathways involved in acne formation. This dual action helps clear existing acne while preventing the development of new blemishes with less irritation compared to many older topical retinoids.

Directions for Use

• Use only as directed by your physician.
• Wash the affected area with a mild cleanser and pat dry.
• Apply a thin layer of Adapco Cream to the affected skin once daily at bedtime.
• Avoid excessive application, as it will not improve results and may increase skin irritation.
• Treatment response should be reassessed after approximately 3 months.
• Not recommended for children unless prescribed by a healthcare professional.
