At a glance

Adapalene 0.1% Topical is a retinoid gel used for the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris. It normalizes skin cell differentiation, unclogs pores and prevents new acne formation.

Pharmacology

Adapalene is a retinoid that binds to specific retinoic acid nuclear receptors, normalizing follicular epithelial cell differentiation and reducing microcomedone formation. It acts as a modulator of cellular differentiation, keratinization and inflammatory processes.
