Health Queries

I have an oily face. Can I use Adaferin Gel for it?

Chandrakanta Jena

Chandrakanta Jena

Pharm D

Adaferin Gel contains Adapalene, which is mainly used for treating acne. It is also highly effective in reducing oily skin by regulating excess sebum (a natural oily substance) production and preventing pores from becoming blocked. You may certainly use it for your oily face, but it is best to apply a thin layer only once daily at night to avoid potential irritation or dryness. Since this medication increases your skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, please ensure that you apply a high SPF sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from sun damage.

I have acne-prone skin with comedones. Can Adaferin Gel help treat my condition?

Chandrakanta Jena

Chandrakanta Jena

Pharm D

Yes, Adaferin Gel (adapalene) is commonly used to treat acne (pimples) and comedones (clogged pores or hair follicles that appear as small bumps). It works by clearing pores and normalising skin cell turnover, helping to prevent new blackheads and whiteheads from developing while also reducing existing inflammation. Apply it as a thin layer at night and use a daily moisturiser, as dryness or peeling may occur during the first few weeks of treatment. With regular use, along with a gentle skincare routine and sun protection, it can provide effective results over time, ideally under medical supervision.

I have very sensitive, dry skin and eczema. I am using Adaferin Gel, and it is making my skin even drier. Should I continue using it or stop?

Since you have sensitive, dry skin and eczema, and Adaferin Gel is causing increased dryness and irritation, you should consult a dermatologist, as they can assess your skin condition and guide whether to adjust the frequency, change the treatment, or switch to a gentler option while also helping protect your skin barrier safely.

I have had comedones on my cheeks for the past 8 years. Can I use Adapalene gel for this condition?

Chandrakanta Jena

Chandrakanta Jena

Pharm D

Yes, you can use Adapalene gel for long-standing comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), as it helps unclog pores and prevent new blockages from forming. Apply a thin layer at night and start gradually to minimise dryness or irritation. Use a gentle moisturiser and sunscreen daily. If there is no improvement after a few weeks or if results are unsatisfactory, consult a dermatologist for further advice.

I am getting pimples and acne on my face, neck, and shoulders. What is the most effective way to get rid of them?

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

Pimples on the face, neck, and shoulders are often caused by excess oil, sweat, and clogged pores. Wash the affected areas twice daily with a gentle acne face wash, avoid squeezing pimples, and wear loose, breathable clothing. Applying creams containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Adapalene can help reduce pimples and prevent new breakouts. If acne is severe or keeps recurring, consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.
