Adapalene

When it comes to treating moderate, persistent acne, Adapalene is the ultimate prescription intervention. Its incredible advantages put it ahead of other topical retinoids, like tretinoin, making it a true game-changer in the battle against those pesky pimples.

What is Acne?

Before we dive into the magic of Adapalene, let's get to the bottom of what causes acne. Understanding the root cause is the secret to finding the perfect treatment! Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when pores and / or hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It can be caused by many things such as excess sebum production, clogged hair follicles, and even bacterial growth.

Skincare products to combat acne have had a sharp increase in popularity with 30% more products on the market than there were in 2020 - Mintel.

Sunlight Stability

Unlike other retinoids, such as tretinoin, retinol, and retinal, Adapalene doesn't mind a little sun exposure. It's photostable, meaning it won't cause any sensitivity issues, keeping your skin happy and radiant. It also plays well with others! Its improved chemical stability allows it to team up with other acne-fighting ingredients like Benzoyl Peroxide, maximizing the power of your skincare routine. Plus, its better light stability keeps it effective for longer, even when you're enjoying the great outdoors.

If you’re wanting to create a product that battles persistent acne and have had no luck with medicated face washes. Or if you are catering for sensitive skin reacting to retinol or vitamin D products, fear not! An adapalene-based solution may just be the answer to your skincare dreams.
