It contains a medication that is similar to vitamin A that operates by encouraging the renewal of skin cells to eliminate blackheads and prevent the formation of pimples.

How should I use Adaclene Gel (Adapalene)?

Adaclene Gel (Adapalene) is normally applied once each day just before going to sleep, but your individual directions will be determined by your physician based on your age, weight, health condition, and the severity of its symptoms. Wash and pat dry the area being treated before each use to remove any dirt or loose skin. Apply a small amount of medication to the affected area, gently massage it into the skin, and leave the area uncovered to allow any excess medication to evaporate. Thoroughly wash your hands using soap and water after each use to prevent the medication from contacting other areas of skin or the mucous membranes. Always ask your physician any questions you have about the medicine before beginning use to ensure the correct administration.
