Solid

I still have acne, but I have noticed improvement / better control over breakouts using adapalene products. I find this to be just as effective as Differin, which seems to be considered the standard—but sometimes I can find this cheaper, so that's a plus.

Improving my maskne

I'm in my 40s and just recently started having really bad breakouts on my chin/jaw. Spot treatments weren't working so I thought I'd try this. As the product says, it's not a spot treatment and may take up to 3 weeks to start working. I've been using it a couple weeks and my stubborn patch on my chin is finally starting to calm down and I'm hopeful new pimples won't keep sprouting.

Doesn’t do much

I tried for several months hoping this would work, but it does nothing for me. Just makes my skin dry and flaky. Doesn’t clear up blemishes or prevent new ones. Maybe it works for others but not me. A good retinol like Skinceuticals is much more effective.

Unexpectedly Effective

I've read a bit about adapalene perhaps not being as effective as traditional tretinoin but didn't let that stop me, this product is priced and reviewed too well not to give it a shot. I do think this retinoid is effective and I'd recommend to anyone starting their retinoid journey. For best use I'd apply after moisturizer every two days and add days as you see your skin reacting positively, that meaning not red and inflamed, that is not the goal.

Really works!

Over the summer I broke out my really bad acne all over my face. I did research and found Adapalene helps with acne and so happy I purchased this. I’ve been using this for 5 months now and my skin is back to normal with only having the occasional hormonal acne breakout. This is a staple in my skin care

cleared up body acne

I use this on my chest and back acne and it has made a huge difference. My skin looks amazing and both breakouts and post-inflammatory pigmentation are nearly gone. There was a very brief period where my skin got slightly worse, but that is a typical side effect of retinoids so I wasn't too surprised. But my skin never felt too tight or dry, and no irritation or peeling either. Love this stuff!!

Good beginner adapalene

This is my first adapalene treatment after using very gentle rentinoids for a year. It’s great at clearing up acne! I would recommend using it on top of a moisturizer, as even then it can be drying. I was able to use it frequently (almost daily, as I alternate my PM routine sometimes) and didn’t experience peeling or anything like that.

Not a spot treatment

Works after consistent use, so not a spot treatment. It’s an easy formula to use, smooth, a little goes a long way. I find the tube to be easy to get that last bit.

Amazing Starter Retinol

If you're new to retinol, like I was, this is a great gentle retinoid acne treatment. My dermatologist recommended going through a tube before going on a prescription retinol. I wore this every other night with moisturizer on top (like Toleriane or La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5). When I graduated to prescription retinol, I got another tube for travel or for friends who are starting on their retinol journey. Highly recommend for retinol newbies! And you can't beat the price and the reputation of this brand!

Outstanding

Nothing I have tried before has helped in my acne journey like this product has. I have been using this for almost a full year know so I can fully say this product is no joke. Of course like with all high strength retinoids, there is an adjustment period, and sometimes depending on the skincare you are using it with , pilling may happen. Everything else is top notch.
