Adapen Gel
What is Adapen Gel
Adapen Gel is a topical retinoid medication formulated with Adapalene (0.1% w/w). Manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd, it effectively treats acne by reducing oil production and preventing clogged pores. Dermatologists widely recommend it for mild to moderate acne.
Adapalene promotes natural exfoliation, prevents acne formation, and reduces skin inflammation. Regular use of Adapen helps clear breakouts and prevent new ones from forming.
Before starting Adapen, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have sensitive skin. Avoid combining it with other strong skin treatments without medical advice.
Common side effects include redness, dryness, peeling, or mild burning. These symptoms typically subside as your skin adjusts. Always follow your doctor’s advice to maximize benefits and minimize irritation.
