Description

Adaferin Gel is a prescription medicine used to treat acne on the face, chest, or back. It contains adapalene, a vitamin A derivative from the retinoid family. Adapalene works by reducing inflammation, preventing clogged pores, and increasing the turnover of skin cells. This helps clear blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples while also preventing new breakouts. Since only very small amounts are absorbed into the body, its effects are focused mainly on the skin’s surface.

Adaferin Gel is suitable for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older. It should not be used during pregnancy or if you are planning to become pregnant. It is also not recommended for application on broken skin, cuts, scrapes, sunburn, or eczema. Take care to avoid contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes, mouth, and corners of the nose. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with warm water. While using Adaferin gel, limit sun exposure and use sunscreen or protective clothing to avoid skin irritation.

The gel is usually applied once daily in the evening unless your doctor advises otherwise. Before application, gently wash and dry the affected area. Apply a thin layer of the gel using your fingertips and rub it in gently, then wash your hands. Using more gel than prescribed will not clear acne faster but may increase redness, dryness, or irritation.

Common side effects include dry skin, redness, irritation, burning sensation, and mild peeling. Adaferin Gel should not be used during pregnancy, and treatment must be stopped immediately if you become pregnant. It can be used during breastfeeding, but the gel should not be applied to the chest area to avoid contact with the infant. Inform your doctor about other acne treatments you are using. Keep it out of reach of children and do not use it after the expiry date.
