About Adapen Gel
Adapen Gel is used to treat acne (pimples) in patients 12 years or older. Acne is a common skin condition and occurs when hair follicles are blocked with dead skin cells and oil. The acne-causing bacteria feed on sebum (natural oil produced by the skin), leading to redness and swelling.
Adapen Gel contains Adapalene, which works by loosening the cells on the skin’s surface and unblocking pores by reducing oil production. Thus, it decreases pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads.
Use Adapen Gel as prescribed. You may experience dry skin, irritation, redness, or a burning sensation of the skin in some cases. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
If you are known to be allergic to Adapen Gel or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Adapen Gel. If you have eczema (itchy, swollen, rough, and cracked skin), skin cancer or sunburn, please inform your physician before taking Adapen Gel.

Adapen Gel is used to treat acne, a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles are blocked with dead skin cells and oil.
Adapen Gel works by loosening cells on the skin's surface and unblocking pores by reducing the production of sebum. Thereby, decreases pimples, spots, whiteheads and blackheads. Also, adapalene increases the production of new skin cells and supports natural exfoliation (removal of dead skin cells) in the outer layers of the skin.
Adapen Gel may cause photosensitivity (increased skin sensitivity to sunlight) in the treated areas. Therefore, avoid or limit exposure to sunlight and sunlamps. You are advised to use sunscreen (SPF 30 or more) and wear protective clothing while going out to prevent sunburn.
