AcneFree Adapalene Gel 0.1% Acne Treatment 15g

AcneFree Adapalene Gel 0.1% is a retinoid acne treatment containing the same active ingredient as Differin -- adapalene 0.1% -- at a more accessible price point. Adapalene was previously only available by prescription, making this OTC US formula a significant find for UK customers who can't access retinoids through NHS or private prescription easily.

Adapalene works by regulating skin cell turnover, slowing the accumulation of dead skin cells inside pores that leads to blackheads, whiteheads and clogged pores. It causes less irritation than other retinoids and contains no benzoyl peroxide -- so it won't bleach sheets or towels. Oil-free, fragrance-free and dermatologist developed.

Results take 8 to 12 weeks of consistent daily use. An initial purging period where skin appears to worsen before improving is normal.

How to use Cleanse skin gently and pat dry. Apply a thin layer to the entire affected area once daily in the evening. Do not apply more than once per day. Always use SPF during the day when using adapalene.

Active ingredient: Adapalene 0.1%

Precautions: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, lips and mouth. Use sunscreen during the day as adapalene increases sun sensitivity. If severe irritation develops, reduce to every other day or stop use and consult a doctor. Keep out of reach of children.
