Hello everyone, I am Zinat Yesmin Juthika, a skin enthusiast. Today my motive is to enlighten you about the wonderful skin care ingredient “Adapalene” and its wonder.
What Is Adapalene?
Adapalene, a topical retinoid, earned FDA approval in 2016 for combating acne under the brand named Differin. It is best for acne treatment. However, it works great against sun induced aging, dark spots, pigmentation etc.
How Adapalene Works?
Adapalene works by resisting acne at its roots, preventing the formation of micro comedones responsible for producing whiteheads and blackheads and acne and promoting cell turnover which facilitates pore unclogging.
What Adapalene Does?
Adapalene has many benefits that can remove all your concern regarding skin problems. The main task of adapalene is to remove and prevent acne. Besides, it also helps diminish wrinkles and fine lines, enhancing skin texture, removing hyperpigmentation, curing sun damage.
The Side Effects of Adapalene
Though it has many benefits, it has some side effects like all other skin care ingredients.
1. It can cause skin irritation, redness, dryness. However, it may decrease within 1-2 weeks.
2. Pregnant and breast feeding mothers shouldn’t use it due to potential risk to the fetus or baby.
3. Allergic reaction like itching and swelling can occur. If happens, seek medical advice as soon as possible.
4. Individual who have bad experience with retinol and retinoid please be careful with this ingredient as they all belong to the same category of ingredient.
5. Using adapalene increases sun sensitivity. Therefore, do not skip sunscreen
Scientifically, it is proven that adapalene is safer than retinoids and has very mild or no side effects. However, a patch test is a must before using any new ingredients and products. It is a new and updated ingredient that can solve or cure all your skin problems making it plump, bright and flawless.
