TAROAdapalene 0.1% USP Gel, Paraben Free, Retinoid Acne-Prone Facial Treatment for Sensitive Skin, Prescription Strenght (1.6)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I started using differin but didn't want to spend so much money, I switched to this larger one instead and the results are the same for the same price. Some people are saying it stings a little, which occasionally it does for me too, but so did differin gel so I can't say that it's this prodcut specifically just adapalene in general. I'd recomend it if you're looking for some adapalene.

Don't waste your money on Differin. I've been on Differin for 25 years back when it was prescribed. It's $30 a tube. This is almost half the price, and it's the exact same.

I been using it for a while now it works very well with me, I usually applied on the pimples spot before I sleep and when I wake up after few days its gone.

Works great! Dries out pimples quickly. Will definitely buy again.

Apply thin layer avoid eyes are.

Has helped tremendously with my acne

Works great, I have trouble with it drying my skin out, so ive adapted a routine that works for me. It’s worked great on dark spots I was having a problem with, will absolutely buy again.

The product arrived in good time and the packaging was all good. I read many other reviewers say that they received a much smaller tube than they were expecting. I don't know what they were expecting but the sizing was clearly marked in the product info and I received exactly what I was expecting. I'm new to retinoid's, but after having done extensive research I found adapalene gel is the best you can get without a prescription. You do have to be careful to not overuse this product or you will have burns! Since I started using it just three days a week instead of every other day and amped up my moisturizer game I've had no more issues. It is essential you use a sunscreen with this in the daytime and I use a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid as needed. I have pretty sensitive skin and am very prone to breakouts but I've had no troubles so far. I've only been using it about a month so I can't actually see any results as of yet but only time will tell. I will try to update if possible with photos in a few months with before and afters. Also with Summer coming, we'll see how well it holds up in all the sun! I did get a pretty bad burn initially around my eyes, you have to apply it lightly around your eyes and I do NOT recommend using the Vaseline trick as this stuff is meant to absorb naturally. Too much saturation WILL cause your skin to burn and crack! It feels like the worst sunburn you've ever had but crispier. It is not pleasant. A couple days of coating on hyaluronic acid moisturizer though gave me much needed relief and took care of the problem. Most dermatologists recommend you only need three things for perfect skin, a good retinoid, SPF, and moisturizer. This is a much more affordable option than the name brand and see absolutely no reason why it shouldn't work just as well. A little goes a long way and it doesn't leave any greasy residue. It is recommended you don't use it straight out of the shower or right after washing your face as it absorbs too quickly that way. So wait a few minutes after washing your face to apply it, go easy around the eyes as the skin is much thinner there, and then wait another ten to fifteen minutes and generously apply some moisturizer. Follow these steps and use this product conscientiously and you should have no problems.
