At a glance

Adapalene 0.3% Topical is a stronger retinoid gel used for the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris. It is more potent than 0.1% and is used for more severe or resistant acne.

Indications

Mild to moderate acne vulgaris, especially for acne that does not respond to 0.1% adapalene.

Pharmacology

Adapalene is a retinoid that binds to specific retinoic acid nuclear receptors, normalizing follicular epithelial cell differentiation and reducing microcomedone formation. The 0.3% concentration is more potent than 0.1%, providing faster and more effective results.

Dosage

Adults and children (12 years and older):

  • Apply a pea-sized amount of gel sparingly to the entire face once daily at bedtime
  • Cleanse the face with a mild cleanser and pat dry before application
  • Avoid contact with eyes, lips and mucous membranes
Side effects

Common side effects (during the first 2-4 weeks):

  • Erythema (skin redness)
  • Dry skin
  • Skin peeling
  • Skin burning/stinging
  • Itching

The 0.3% concentration may cause more side effects than 0.1%.

These side effects are usually temporary and decrease with continued use.
