Adalapene for acne

I have moderate acne and have been prescribed adapalene by my doctor. Doses this medication work?

Adalapene is a relatively newer topical vitamin A derivative, which is used to treat mild to moderate acne. First it will not work if you have acne scars or severe acne. For those who have mild to moderate acne, the drug is excellent. Do not expect results in a few days. It often takes a few weeks for the maximal benefit.

The product is also sold as Differin and Epiduo. You need to apply the gel once a day. If you apply it more often, you will develop severe skin dryness and peeling of skin.

All people who use Adalapene should understand that initially the drug will make your skin look worse, but with time, the damaged skin cells will fall and be replaced by newer, smoother and younger looking skin. Avoid going out in the sun when using this medication.
