Amazing for sensitive skin

If you can’t tolerate a higher strength retinol this is for you! It does its job with zero irritation or dryness

I love this!

This gel is awesome! I'm 63 and I use it for wrinkles. It has definitely lived up to its claim! Wrinkles on my forehead... above my top lip, and even a stubborn dark spot on the side of my face is fading. Thus tube will also last a long time. Will definitely purchase again. The price isn't bad either!

Works but can be a bit much for sensitive skin?

So - this is my second tube of this product. I would say that I probably used this 2-3 times a week? I did notice that it caused me to have dry, irritated skin in a ring around my mouth/chin area. I had to discontinue use once I noticed that was occuring after application. I have sensitive skin so this could have been a bit much for me but before that reaction began, I liked this product. I never noticed that it pilled, no scent, etc.

Good enough

Compared to the price of some retinol it is a good buy and can be used on the body too. However, it doesn't work as well as my differin gel for some reason.

Switched from Retinol

I recently switched from a traditional retinol (Paula’s Choice) because I noticed a difference in my skin with a retinol and I heard the adapalene was even better!  I continue to see a lot of improvement in my skin firmness and the ability for it to heal more quickly from incidental breakouts. This did not irritate me when I switched over and am very happy with it!

Love this product

I've used this for the past year and nothing I've used has ever helped my skin stay so clear. I basically haven't had a breakout since using it. I have dry skin with occasional oiliness and this work so well on it.

Doesn't dry my skin out

This cream has helped me stay break out free for the past month. My skin isn't dried out, and I don't have any sensitivity issues with this product. Nice addition to my routine.

Game changer!!

I’m 6 weeks into using this and don’t want to review prematurely, but absolutely already see and love the results and I didn’t expect a change so quickly. My face is very oily and acne prone. I use liquid extra strength salicylic acid AM only & 5% benzoyl peroxide serum AM & PM. I’ve been using that routine of treatments for acne/oily skin for about 10 years and it kept my skin looking good, but not great. My oily skin started looking dull over the last few years and then I developed a bout of hormonal acne for a few months before starting this adapalene. I first started using this product every other night and for the first 2 weeks my face peeled a min/mod amount, it never felt irritated and easily washed off AM/PM and my face never felt dry/peeling throughout the day if I stuck with my AM routine. After about 2 weeks I was able to start using this 6 nights a week and one night off a week with an AHA mask that night and I’ve been doing that routine for about 4 weeks. My skin has never looked better. My hormonal acne dried up within the first two weeks and after everything healed my skin now looks so smooth and glowing. I still am peeling a tiny bit some mornings and my skin is still looking better each day. Areas that have been dull for years look so much more smooth and glowy and my acne has been very stable. I highly recommend adding this product into your routine or starting a routine based around this product. I wish I had started it years ago.
