Acne Free Adapalene Gel 0.1%, Once-Daily Topical Retinoid Acne Treatment, Dermatologist Developed, Unclogs Pores and Clears Acne, Prevents and Improve Whiteheads and Blackheads, 0.5 Ounce

Started June 8th, today is July 11, 2025Tips that are very important if you are starting:Keep away from eyes and mouth! Wait to bring it closer once your face gets use to it.My regimen includes Vanicream facial Daily moisturizer, which is really good. You can use one layer that soaks into skin, or add a second for it to sit on skin. Then I use Versed retinol eye balm to protect my eyes and mouth but still get the retinol. I then use a pea size amount of this adapalene around my face and nose, avoiding EYES and MOUTH. Then I put an another layer of vanicream facial moisturizer still avoiding my eye lids and lips.I made the mistake using it on my eyes and mouth, my eyes felt like they weren’t producing tears for a week, and my lips were peeling so bad, it felt like plastic on my lips that hurt so bad if I smiled. I did have to purchase the Cerave healing balm because that happened, and that balm did speed the healing. But because I over did it, I had to take longer breaks. However it does say on the directions avoid eyes and mouth I believe, and I ignored it lol. I did purge but also still am. My acne is below my skin, my face is bumpy to touch although it’s not much visible, that’s why I started adapalene. I’m glad everything is coming to the surface. And if you have acne like that, you will benefit from this product. During the day I use the vanicream daily facial moisturizer and sunblock. To wash my face, I use Cerave Hydrating face wash. It has no suds but my face can feel tight at times so it’s still the best for where I’m at right now. I’m one month in. And I’m proud of myself for not giving up, my skin is changing and the adapalene isn’t as harsh as it was in the beginning. I’ll update later on progress. Also my skin when I started adapalene was dry acne prone sensitive.. my face is changing to balanced acne prone, sensitive still because of the adapalene, tightness more so but not anything the vanicream can’t fix. I’m still in the beginning of this journey. These products helped me. The Sephora mineral sunblock I got on sale for 5 bucks, it’s really good and moisturizing. I thought people should know an honest experience and that you don’t have to get the trends of skincare, find what works, and what works for your wallet.

I have very sensitive skin and I have worked out that to use this properly make sure you just washed your face and not moisturizer or anything on the skin than apply this. I had toner in my face before applying and it felt like a chemical burn as well as I had this in my face and mowed the lawn sweat does not mix well with this it burns. It does work it’s just very drying.

Life saver! Helps my skin and clears acne within a day. I use it twice a day after washing my face and works really well. Highly recommend!

I bought this product for occasional breakouts as a 40+ year old with combination skin. I currently have been using different Korean skincare products like Torriden and HaruHaru that have been super hydrating for my skin. It took this product about 3 days to undo weeks of hydration because I accidentally put a thin layer over my entire face thinking it would clear me up faster. I would not recommend you use on entire face as it will dry you out very fast. I would use sparingly in problem areas instead because it does indeed work to dry out pimples. Use on spot or small areas and it will work great. Great product for the cost and over the counter makes it better.

read instructions, only use once daily, try inner arm to check for sensitivity to this product

Use for minimum of 3 months before you see results but I have noticed my skin is much clearer and more even

I had high hopes for this product. It was recommended for not only blemishes but also dark spots such as Melasma. I wanted it for melasma and used it daily as directed. It’s been months and honestly I cannot tell a difference. I really hoped it would work but there’s no change. I don’t think it’s a bad product and maybe it works great for acne. I don’t know. I thankfully don’t suffer with acne.

This was a Nina pool duper Rooney. I have used this now for approximately a month and what a find. Takes the dermatologist and prescription out of the equation. Retinol at the fraction of the cost.
