Adapalene is a topical retinoid drug used to treat acne. It is a synthetic derivative of Vitamin A and is available in both gel and cream formulations. Adapalene works by reducing inflammation and preventing the formation of comedones, which are the small bumps that can lead to acne. It also helps to reduce the production of sebum, an oily substance that can clog pores and lead to acne. Adapalene is often used in combination with other acne medications, such as antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide, to provide a more comprehensive treatment. Adapalene is a popular choice for treating acne due to its effectiveness and low risk of side effects. It is generally well-tolerated and can be used by people of all ages. It is also available over-the-counter in some countries, making it more accessible to those who may not have access to prescription medications. Some companies that produce adapalene products include Galderma, Mylan, and Teva Pharmaceuticals. Galderma produces Differin, a popular adapalene gel, while Mylan produces a generic version of the drug. Teva Pharmaceuticals produces a generic version of the drug in both gel and cream formulations. Show Less Read more
