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 also help prevent and improve white heads and blackheads because they increase cell turnover. 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 lot of time on their skincare routine. Adapalene Gel is great for those looking to try a prescription strength acne-fighting ingredient. 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. Therefore, patience is key! You may also experience some dryness and irritation while your skin is adjusting to the treatment.

I usually never return used products however, I paid a lot of money for this cream. It did the opposite of what it was supposed to do. I bought it to restore my skin barrier however, it made my barrier worse. This product dried out my skin really bad, and on top of that every time I tried getting product out of the tube water would squirt out of the tube. (I looked up this issue to see if it was happening to anyone else who purchased the product and it was! I read some reviews that said to shake the product and the issue would be fixed however that did not work.) This is one of the worst products I’ve tried. I am very disappointed with this purchase because I heard so many good reviews about this product. (I’ve never written a review however this product really damaged my skin barrier) ;(
Highly recommend

Great results if you give it time. Super happy with my purchase! I did put 4 stars for value because as some others said, the tube doesn’t feel very full.

It’s important to note that this product contains parabens, a chemical which many scientists believe can cause cancer.

This was great for the bumps on my skin and my clogged pores. The only issue is that it makes your skin very thin and you CANNOT get your eyebrows waxed while using this product or your skin will get burned and ripped off. Do not ask why I know this.
Less expensive alternatve

I use this rather than the more pricey name brand. Nightly use brings results--but it does not happen overnight. Regular use will bring results.
Meh

I wouldn’t recommend, it wasn’t full enough as another has stated here. I’ve purchased this 1-2 times and it’s been okay. It’s rarely on sale enough to beat out offbrand at pharmacy stores. Those work better also. There can be quality control regarding this brands bottle, my last purchase had a plastic stopper I had much difficulty getting off. I didn’t have this issue with the first.
Not for me

It didn’t work for me sadly. I had to return it. I didn’t have a reaction or more acne form, so that’s good. But didn’t help so that’s disappointing.
Not worth it

I have been dealing with adult acne on my chin and have tried many products. This product has cleared up the acne within days. I cannot recommend it enough. I also have a small dark spot on my cheek, and I have noticed it is starting to lighten up after using this product.

I am obsessed with the facial results. I’ve been struggling with adult hormonal acne and my usual benzoyl routine that I’ve used forever had suddenly not been doing the job anymore! I’ve been trying different skin care options, and I added this a few weeks ago.. it definitely did take a week or two for me to see a difference, but BE WARNED: I actually received a really bed chemical burn from this (look it up— it’s called a retinol burn) and even though I hadn’t been applying it to my lower neck/collarbone area it must have been rubbing there at nighttime and it gave me the worst rash/skin peel/sunburn-looking area and it was actually quite uncomfortable. My skin peeled horribly there and after 3-4 days it did go away. I did stop using this product during that time period for fear that more would get on the already burned skin… but, I did resume again on my face once it cleared up and thankfully have not had any further issues. I still give it 5 stars because the retinol burn was worth it if it’s going to keep my face clear, but it was a very uncomfortable few days! Also, I love that this is the same as Differin gel but just a cheaper alternative. No need to spend the extra money on brand name!
Results!

My son has been using the gel on his moderate to severe acne and in just two weeks his skin has improved significantly. I noticed a difference after day two. He uses it along with the acnefree sulfur face cleanser. It's a miracle.
Great product!

Great product. I like the smaller size (and cost) for people just trying it out. I was planning to use this for travel due to the smaller size, but the product I just received expires November 2021. I recommend it but discourage purchasing multiples.
Similar to tretinoin

There is a growing body of research showing similar results to retin-A although the mechanism of cellular turnover utilized slightly different cellular receptors. Choosing adapalene over tretinoin saved time off of work to sit in a dermatologist’s office.
