Galderma Adaferin Gel - Adapalene 0.1% (15g)

The gold standard treatment for clearing acne and preventing future breakouts.

Adaferin Gel contains Adapalene (0.1%), a powerful third-generation retinoid that is widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating acne. Unlike traditional treatments that only address existing spots, Adaferin works deep within the pores to regulate cell turnover and prevent the formation of microcomedones (the precursors to acne). This dermatologically trusted gel helps to clear blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammatory acne while refining skin texture and reducing the risk of post-acne scarring.

Why Your Skin Needs It:

• Targeted Acne Clearance: Specifically formulated to treat acne vulgaris by unclogging pores and reducing inflammation.

• Prevents New Breakouts: By normalizing the skin's cell renewal process, it stops new pimples from forming under the surface.

• Refines Skin Texture: Regular use helps smooth out rough patches and improves the overall clarity and tone of the skin.

• Deep Pore Action: Penetrates deep into the follicles to dissolve the "plugs" of oil and skin cells that cause blackheads and whiteheads.

• Superior Stability: Adapalene is more light-stable and less irritating than older retinoids, making it a more comfortable choice for daily acne management.

Key Ingredients:

• Adapalene (0.1% w/w): A potent retinoid compound that regulates skin cell growth and reduces the inflammatory response.

• Propylene Glycol: Acts as a humectant to help the skin retain moisture during treatment.

• Carbomer: A gelling agent that ensures the formula remains lightweight and easy to spread.

• Purified Water: Forms the base of this non-greasy, water-based gel.

Suitable For:

• Skin Types: Oily, Acne-Prone, and Combination skin.

• Concerns: Persistent Acne, Blackheads, Whiteheads, and Uneven Skin Texture.

How to Use:

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a mild, soap-free cleanser and pat completely dry. Wait 5-10 minutes to ensure no moisture remains.

2. Apply: Squeeze a pea-sized amount onto your fingertip.

3. Distribute: Apply a thin layer over the entire affected area (not just the spots). Avoid the eyes, lips, and nostrils.

4. Moisturize: Follow up with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness.

5. Timing: Use once daily, preferably in the evening.

6. Sun Protection: Retinoids increase sun sensitivity. It is essential to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.
