More Information
How is Adapalene different from other retinoids?
Adapalene is specifically designed to be less irritating while maintaining effectiveness. Unlike tretinoin, it's stable in light and can be combined with benzoyl peroxide. Most users experience less dryness, redness, and peeling compared to other retinoids.
When will I see results with Adapalene?
Initial improvement typically occurs at 4-6 weeks, with significant results by week 12. Some users experience a temporary "purging" period in weeks 2-4 as hidden acne surfaces. Consistent use for 3-4 months yields best results.
Can I use Adapalene with other acne products?
Yes! Unlike tretinoin, Adapalene remains stable when used with benzoyl peroxide. Apply benzoyl peroxide in the morning and Adaferin at night. Avoid using with other retinoids or harsh exfoliants simultaneously.
Do I need to use sunscreen with Adapalene?
While Adapalene is less photosensitizing than other retinoids, daily SPF 30+ is still recommended. Your skin may be more sensitive to sun during treatment, and sun protection helps prevent post-acne dark spots.
