Differin Adapalene Gel 0.1% Acne Treatment 45 g

Overview

Differin's adapalene gel is a 0.1% retinoid formulated for acne, sold in a 45 gram (1.6 ounce) size described as up to a 90 day supply. It is fragrance free and labeled for all skin types on the face.

Adapalene is a retinoid available over the counter at 0.1% strength, generally used to prevent new acne from forming rather than to treat existing breakouts overnight, and it is applied in thin layers on the whole face rather than spot treated. Retinoids commonly cause dryness or peeling when a routine starts, which is not addressed in the listing itself.

• 45 gram, up to 90 day supply
• Fragrance free
• Formulated for the face

Who it's for

Fits buyers looking for an over the counter retinoid for ongoing acne prevention on the face. Not intended for spot treatment of a single blemish, and not a fit for anyone new to retinoids without knowing the typical adjustment period.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

At 0.1% adapalene, this sits at the standard over the counter strength, applied as a thin layer across the face rather than spot treated on individual blemishes. The 45 gram size is described as up to a 90 day supply, which frames it for a several month routine rather than short term use.
