Adapalene

Adapalene is a third-generation topical retinoid and is best known for treating mild to moderate acne. It’s also commonly as for its brand name, Differin.

Adapalene has some great benefits:

You can buy over-the-counter adapalene at 0.1% gel strength. Higher concentrations require a prescription.

Oleyl adapalenate is a cosmetic-grade derivative of adapalene that does not require a prescription since it is considered a cosmetic ingredient.

Clindamycin

Clindamycin is a prescription lincosamide antibiotic used in topical acne treatments to kill acne-causing bacteria (C. acnes) and reduce inflammation.

It's generally found in prescription products rather than standard over-the-counter cosmetics.
