Adapalene Gel 0.1% Acne Treatment

La Roche Posay’s adapalene works so much better on my aging acne prone skin than Differin. I’ve tried many different products including prescription strength Retin-A. This produce doesn’t dry out my skin or cause flaking and has been keeping my acne/oily skin in check. Highly recommend.

Great product

This definitely takes time, it won’t work wonders in a couple nights or even a couple weeks, it takes months from my experience since you need to start off slow. But after that, it really makes a difference in your skin. My complexion is so much more even and the breakouts have lessened so much. It isn’t a cure all for me, because I think I’ll always have occasional hormonal breakouts, but it helps so much in terms of amount and even how fast they go away.

Gentle and Effective

I use this every other day to keep acne away and smooth my skin. It's not too harsh and does not cause irritation. Highly recommend!

Nice sub for Retin A

I used this product in drier weather when my prescription strength Retin A dries out my skin. It is a nice substitute.

Gentle but effective with long-term efforts

I have been debating with myself about this brand and another popular brand on Amazon. In the end, I purchased the LRP Adapalene. And I am glad that I made the perfect choice.

Finally a retinoid product I can use

I love this retinoid product. I have never been able to use other retinoid brands. But I finally found one that my skin tolerates well and improves my skin! Increases cell turnover, less sebaceous filament, and softens my skin.

Great!

Have been using consistently for 3 years. Decided to stop and use a prescription strength retinoid and acne came back immediately! Did not realize how much of a difference it has made.

Works for acne

Moved on to Rx for more anti-aging benefits, but this helped keep my skin clearer during monthly breakouts.

Mostly good

I changed to this coming from a 1% retinol cream and I still got flaking/peeling for the first few days using this. I didn’t expect it to be much stronger but it was a pleasant surprise. Only negative is that if you use too much it can start to pill and rub off.

Alternative to retinol for anti-aging

I have been using this Effaclar gel for a month for anti-aging. It's too soon to say whether it has reduced fine lines and wrinkles, but I like using the product and will continue with it. I started slowly: twice a week at night, followed by moisturizer. Now I am using it every other night, still following with moisturizer. I have experienced some very slight peeling, but I feel that's a sign that my skin is being renewed and that the product is actually doing something. Good price and good customer service from LovelySkin, as usual!

Great!

My skin has a hard time adjusting to Tretinoin even at the lowest concentration of 0.025%. This has been non irritating to my skin so I would definitely recommend as an alternative to persons having many side effects of tret.

Adapalene 0.1%

I was looking for an alternative to retinol and researched adapalene. My skin reacts terribly to retinol, but this is different! I can actually use adapalene without the extreme sensitivity, redness, and peeling I have with retinol. Whenever I feel the beginnings of a pimple, I use this gel and it disappears almost overnight.

Adapalene gel

Good product, can be a little to drying if used to often without incorporating a moisturizer. Worked best for me to start with 2 times a week to adjust my skin . Cost effective and does work.

Prefer to the Differin

It irritates my skin less than a different brand, though there might not be a scientific reason for that. I use my moisturizer underneath this to get my skin used to it and it's a big improvement! Really like the product and I know it'll last a long time.

LRP adapalene gel

This stuff is awesome! I have tried LOTS of acne treatments and LOTS of retinol type treatments. I have skin that is oily, acne prone and tends to be pretty sensitive. I have started using this at night M,W,F and have noticed my cystic type acne is no longer red and inflamed and all my white heads are disappearing. I wouldn’t say that I have severe acne but I have persistent hormonal acne and sometimes it takes a long time to clear up and then once it does I have another one pop up. This stuff made a difference almost immediately and with no irritation. I really like it! It’s affordable and works well for me. Definitely recommend trying it!

Great!

I love this formula. I use it about once a week and my skin just looks and feels so much healthier. I have pretty sensitive skin so I use this very sparingly.
