Adapalene is the first over-the-counter active ingredient for acne in more than 30 years. It clears acne with the power of an Rx without the prescription, prevents breakouts, blackheads, whiteheads, blemishes and clogged pores, and can be used to effectively treat acne, or maskne, caused by wearing face masks or facial coverings. When used as directed, you could start to see results in as little as 1 week, and when used every single day, Differin Gel can help reduce up to 87% of acne in just 12 weeks (Cunliffe et al 1998, Galderma Laboratories).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eItems Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specs\u003cbr\u003eItem Form: Gel\u003cbr\u003eScent Name: Unscented\u003cbr\u003eProduct Benefits: Anti-Acne\u003cbr\u003eSkin Type: All, Sensitive\u003cbr\u003eSpecial Ingredients: Retinoid\u003cbr\u003eTarget Use Body Part: Face\u003cbr\u003eActive Ingredients: Adapalene 0.1%\u003cbr\u003eContainer Type: Tube\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"geo-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this fit into a calming evening wind-down ritual without feeling harsh?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
