Adapalene

Adapalene belongs to a class of acne skin treatment medications called retinoid-like compounds, meaning it is chemically similar to Vitamin A. 

It is a topical treatment carrying the acne treatment product brand name Differin® and available in four different forms: gel, solution (liquid), cream and individual pledglets (medicated wipes for one time use).

In its purest form, adapalene is a whitish powder that is insoluble in water.

Adapalene is an acne popular treatment; basically functions by stopping pimples from forming under the surface of the skin.

  

Dermatologists contend that adapalene is a potent acne-control agent but it has no promise of complete and permanent cure for acne. The recommended application is once a day at bedtime.

Frequent application other than what is directed may irritate the skin and will not in, any way speed up or improve results.  Slight warmth or stinging sensation is expected of this acne removal treatment but should vanish in no time. 

A doctor's opinion is needed if the sting lingers longer than usual with accompanied with redness, scaling, dryness, burning and itching feeling. 

Adapalene users are advised and warned that acne may get worse during the first few weeks of treatment.  Pimples can take six to eight weeks to form under the skin, and during the first weeks of treatment, adapalene hastens the emergence of pimples to the skin surface.

The treatment continues even if the condition seems going for the worst. 

It may take 8 to 12 weeks or even longer before the full benefit is of adapalene is achieved.  No acne alternative treatment should intervene in the course of the treatment.

Extra caution is taken to skin that is sunburned, broken, or covered with eczema, or similar skin complaints.

It is best that the skin is allowed to clear first before adapalene is applied.  Adapalene should not get near the eyes, nose and mouth areas. 

Before the application, the affected area to be treated needs gentle cleansing with the use of a mild soap or soapless cleanser.  Harsh or abrasive cleansers are not advisable.
