ProactivMD® Adapalene Gel 0.1%

Adapalene Gel 0.1% is an acne-fighting retinoid. In fact, it’s the first over-the-counter retinoid approved by the FDA to treat acne. Up until recently, you needed a prescription to use Adapalene Gel, but now it’s available without an Rx. This retinoid is renowned because it works on a cellular level to treat stubborn breakouts and help prevent new breakouts from forming. By clearing your acne, Adapalene Gel helps promote healthy skin, helps improve your skin’s tone and texture, and helps with the redness and inflammation that’s associated with acne.



Even though it’s such a powerful retinoid, Adapalene Gel 0.1% is super simple to use. Just spread a thin layer over your entire face each night. It will take some time for your skin to get used to Adapalene Gel 0.1% acne treatment. This adjustment period is called retinization. It usually lasts 4-6 weeks, and it’s normal to experience dryness, peeling, and some irritation. Of course, if irritation becomes severe (overly bothersome), stop use and ask a doctor before using the product again. For most, retinization symptoms should subside, and you’ll be left with clear, glowing skin.

Adapalene Gel is part of ProactivMD, our acne-fighting system that includes our Ultra-Gentle Cleanser and Ultra-Hydrating Moisturizer.
