Adapalene (Differin) and Acne
Adapalene, is a cream or gel used for the treatment of acne. The only way you can get your hands on adapalene is by getting a prescription from your doctor.
Adapelene is applied once daily and prevents pimples from rising underneath the skin. Apply is it very small doses as thats all that is required for each application. It does not cure your acne as there is no cure for acne but it does help prevent it. Similar to most acne treatment medications, your skin will get worse before it gets better. Expect this for about 6 - 8 weeks. You should see great improvements in 4 months. If you are not seeing great improvements by 4 months, you should contact your doctor. He/she may put you on a different course of treatment. A visit to an allergist is also required.
Do not use adapalene on damaged skin. That is skin with any dryness, cracks, cuts or bruises.
Be very careful when applying near your eyes. If you do manage to accidentally get some on your eye(s), wash the out as soon as possible with warm water. Adapalene could cause infection if it gets in your eye. If the pain persists, visit your doctor.
Side effects include dryness, redness, scaly skin, burning and itching. It these symptoms persist, you may need to talk to your doctor about alternative treatment.
Your only human so some days you may forget to apply Differin, if so dont worry and just resume as normal the following day.
