Adapalene is a popular ingredient found in many anti-blemish skincare products.
Previously available only by prescription, adapalene is an FDA-approved, dermatologist recommended retinoid specifically used for blemish-prone skin. It attacks breakouts at the source – deep within the pores – to prevent new blemishes from forming and, as a result, restore your skin’s natural texture, tone and glow.

What are topical retinoids?
Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A and comes in many forms – with many methods of application from creams, gels, serums and more. Topical Retinoids can play an enormous part in mitigating the signs of blemish-prone skin due to their ability to boost cell turnover.

When you have acne, your body has a hard time ridding skin of cellular debris. This occurs because old cells cannot escape pores (along with excess oil and bacteria) – leading to the perfect conditions for acne and blemish-related skin conditions to arise. Topical retinoids help to regulate cell turnover to keep pores clear and address the conditions for acne before they start.

What are the benefits of Adapalene?
Compared to other retinoids (tretinoin, tazarotene, alitretinoin and bexarotene – to name a few) adapalene has been shown to exhibit less irritating side effects than other retinoids – making it a great solution for acne. Adapalene also works slightly different than other retinoids in that it may help to reduce chronic inflammation.
Other Benefits:
• More stable to light and oxygenation
• Longer life and efficacy due to stability
• Rapid penetration due to low molecular weight
• Addresses acne and blemishes at the source
