Adaferin contains Adapalene, a topical retinoid used to treat acne. It helps unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and prevent new acne lesions, improving the overall appearance of the skin.

Mechanism of action:
Adapalene works by modulating skin cell turnover and keratinization, which:

• Prevents clogging of pores

• Reduces inflammation and redness

• Helps clear existing acne and prevent new pimples

Uses:

• Acne vulgaris (blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples)

• Mild to moderate inflammatory acne

• Sometimes used to improve skin texture and prevent acne scars

Adverse effects:
Common side effects include redness, dryness, peeling, mild burning, or itching at the application site. Skin may become more sensitive to sunlight, so sunscreen use is recommended. Rarely, severe irritation or allergic reactions may occur.
