Hi ladies. Today's topic is about Adapalene 🌸
Adapalene is third generation retinoids (a form of vitamin A derivatives)
Adapalene is found at a concentration 0.1% or 0.3%. only 0.1% version is currently available OTC while 0.3% still prescription only
Differin is the brand name for adapalene developed by Galderma Lab
How does Adapalene works against acne/Benefits
1. Increase skin cell turn over - skin cells are shed quickly, so dead cells are likely to clump together inside your pores and clog them
2. Anti inflammatory - calm down acne
3. Effectively treat microcomedones - hence should be used as a regular preventive measure in areas where you get acne
4. Fade pigmentation
5. Overall youthful glow
Contraindications
1. Pregnancy
2. Breastfeeding
How to use
1. Cleanse your face - dab until dry or wait 10-15 min
2. Only at night
3. Apply Vaseline over mouth and nose area
4. Apply pea sized amount for your entire face
5. Apply moisturizer to reduce irritation
Side effects and how to reduce them
1. Skin flaking, redness, irritation and sun sensitivity
a. you only need a pea-sized amount for your entire face
b. use it every second night to begin with and slowly increase the frequency as ur skin adjusts
c. avoid sensitive area such as around mouth and eyes, you can apply Vaseline on that area as an occlusive to stop it from spreading to those areas by accident
d. wait 10-15 minutes after cleansing for your skin to dry before applying as wet skin is more permeable, so this will keep adapalene on the surface and avoid unnecessary irritation
e. use a moisturizer after applying Differin to reduce irritation and flaking
f. wear sunscreen during the day to help with sun sensitivity
g. differin can cause purging (first few weeks). So your skin may get worse before it gets better. It may take 8-12 weeks to see result
h. don’t scrub away flaking skin
