A derivative of vitamin A, Adapalene Gel 0.1% is a member of the retinoid ingredient family, dermatologist tested and recommended, and previously only available by prescription.

Active Ingredients: Adapalene USP (Retinoid) – 0.1 % (Acne Treatment)

Inactive Ingredients: Carbomer Homopolymer, Edetate Disodium, Methylparaben, Poloxamer 182, Propylene Glycol, Purified Water, Sodium Hydroxide

1. Wash face with cleanser (either benzoyl peroxide wash or gentle cleanser depending on intensity of acne and how sensitive your skin is. Note: Benzoyl peroxide wash is for acne that consists of red pimples and zits). Avoid abrasive cleansers and scrubs, vigorous scrubbing of skin, and astringent lotions.

2. Pat skin dry with a towel.

3. Apply a thin layer of adapalene 0.1% gel across the entire region affected with acne. Adapalene is not meant to be used as a spot treatment. Adapalene can be used in the morning or evening.

4. Be sure to protect your skin from the sun by applying sunscreen SPF 30+ daily. If applying adapalene in the morning, then sunscreen should be applied after adapalene.

Works well with our Gentle Cleanser and our Harris Benzoyl Peroxide Wash.

About Acne Free Adapalene 0.1% Gel .5oz

Retinoids help slow down the accumulation of dead skin cells in the pores by increasing cell turnover to unclog pores and improve whiteheads / blackheads and ultimately reduce acne break-outs. Studies have shown that compared to other retinoids, Adapalene gel 0.1% causes less irritation to the skin. Acne Free’s Adapalene 0.1% Gel is oil-free, fragrance-free and dermatologist developed.

Recommended by Our Medical Team

“This is a great treatment for patients who would like to use a topical retinoid to treat acne and/or reduce signs of photo-aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots, but for whom Tretinoin and prescription strength Adapalene are too irritating or costly. Adapalene 0.1% gel is less irritating and more affordable than prescription strength topical retinoids but still effective for the treatment of acne and signs of photo-aging.”

– Joni Gunzburger (MSN, FNP-C), Nurx Provider

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! The use of adapalene with any other acne treatment (like Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide) should be approved by a dermatologist.

Suitable for adults and children 12 years of age and older.
Adapalene Gel may take up to 3 months of once-daily use to start seeing smoother and clearer skin. Adapalene is not a spot treatment. Unlike other OTC topical treatments that dry up existing acne, adapalene works under the skin to unclog pores, clear up acne pimples and prevent future acne. Therefore, patience is key. You may also experience some dryness and irritation while your skin is adjusting to the treatment.
