Acne Free Adapalene Gel 0.1%, Once-Daily Topical Retinoid Acne Treatment, Dermatologist Developed, Unclogs Pores and Clears Acne, Prevents and Improve Whiteheads and Blackheads, 1.6 Ounce

I've been using this 0.1% adapalene gel and I'm very happy with the results. After several weeks of consistent use, I've noticed fewer breakouts, and my skin looks much clearer and more even. The gel absorbs quickly, doesn't leave a greasy feeling, and a little goes a long way.At first, it caused a bit of dryness, but using a good moisturizer and sunscreen helped my skin adjust without any issues. I also like that it's a once-daily topical retinoid that was previously available only by prescription.I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an effective acne treatment. Just be sure to use it as directed and be patient, as the results improve with consistent use. I would definitely purchase it again.

Started June 8th, today is July 11, 2025Tips 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, 2025My 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 2025September 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.

This adapalene gel has helped me so much with my acne and has significantly improved my post-acne marks. The results are truly excellent, but you have to be careful with the application. A little goes a long way, so you should only use a small amount. It is very important to note that you must use a good moisturizer right after applying the adapalene; if you don't hydrate your skin well, it will get extremely dry. If used correctly with a proper hydrating step, it works wonders!

I've been using this for 4 months now, but I haven't really seen a difference in my skin. I use it for anti-aging purposes, since tretinoin needs a prescription, so hopefully this will work.

This stuff is magic. I’m 25 years old and out of the blue started getting really bad closed comedones on my forehead. Nothing worked, I’ve spent $50+ on products that did nothing or made it worse. THIS WORKED. The day after I started using it, I noticed slight results. Genuinely. It’s day 3 and I haven’t had my forehead look this good in months. I can’t express enough how amazing this is for closed comedones. 11/10, will keep buying and no one is paying me for this review. After months of wasting my money and nothing working, I just want other people to know that THIS WORKS!!!!! I uploaded 3 photos, if uploaded in the right order, the first one should be before I used it, second is the first day I used it and the 3rd photo should be day 3 of using it!!!

This stuff is clearing up my teenagers face faster than he can devour a pizza!

This product works great to eliminate and prevent adult acne associated with my rosacea. I discovered this after using a prescription topical antibiotic for over 30 years.

Dries out skin so start out using it every other day instead of every day. Seems to help alright but didn’t completely clear my face.
