Explained
Adapalene is a type of retinoid and common acne treatment.
It has been found to be as effective as other retinoids while causing less irritation.
Retinoids are the gold-standard for anti-aging due to the decades of research backing up their benefits:
- Tell fibroblasts to create more collagen
- Remove old elastin
- Protect cells from oxidative stress
- Form new blood vessels
- Increase new cell turnover
You can buy adapalene over the counter, or in-store, in concentrations of 0.1% in gel form. 0.1% lotion or cream and 0.3% gel are only available with a prescription.

What it is
Retinoid
Form of Retinoid
Retinoids (AKA Vitamin A) help with signs of aging by simulating new cell production and getting rid of old skin cells.
Benefits
Acne
Helps fight Acne
Common acne is known as Acne vulgaris. Acne forms when skin follicles are clogged by sebum, hair, skin cells, or oils. There are several types of acne: whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts.
Anti-Aging
Helps with Anti-Aging
Decreased natural production of oils, degraded collagen, UV exposure, and lifestyle all contribute to how your skin looks over time. Although we cannot stop aging, there are ingredients that have been shown to slow the process: retinoids, antioxidants, and some peptides.
Concerns
Irritation
May cause Irritation
Skin irritation can arise from a number of reasons: very dry skin, sensitivity to certain ingredients, allergies, dermatitis, bug bites, eczema, rosacea, and illness are common factors.
Rosacea
Can worsen Rosacea
Rosacea may be genetic or triggered by mites, bacteria, or blood vessel issues. The most common symptom is redness of the face.
