About Daple Cream

Daple Cream 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 feeds on sebum (natural oil produced by skin), causing redness and swelling.

Daple Cream 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 Daple Cream as prescribed. Daple Cream is only for external use. Avoid contact of Daple Cream with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. In case Daple Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with warm water thoroughly. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Daple Cream based on your medical condition. You may experience dry skin, irritation, redness, or a burning sensation of the skin in some cases. Most of these side effects of Daple Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Daple Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Do not apply Daple Cream on cuts, open wounds, scrapes, sunburned, windburned, chapped, dry, or irritated skin. Avoid exposure to tanning beds or sunlight while using Daple Cream as it may make the skin more sensitive to sunlight and cause sunburn. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen while going out to protect your skin from sunburn. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Daple Cream. Do not apply Daple Cream in large amounts or use it for a longer time than prescribed, as it does not give quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects such as irritation, scaling, or redness of the skin. If you have eczema (itchy, swollen, rough, and cracked skin) or sunburned skin, please inform your doctor before taking Daple Cream.

Uses of Daple Cream

Treatment of Acne (pimples).

Directions for Use

Wash your hands before and after applying Daple Cream. Before using it, wash the affected area with water. Apply a small amount of the medicine as a thin layer and gently rub on the clean and dry affected area of the skin at night before going to bed or as advised by the doctor.

Medicinal Benefits

Daple Cream contains Adapalene (man-made vitamin A), which is used to treat acne (pimples). Daple Cream loosens the cells on the skin’s surface and unblocks pores by reducing the production of oil in the skin. Thus, it decreases pimples, spots, whiteheads, and blackheads. Also, Daple Cream increases the production of new skin cells and helps in natural exfoliation (removal of dead skin cells) of the outer layers of the skin. Daple Cream has an anti-inflammatory effect and thus reduces irritation and soreness.
