ProactivMD Adapalene Gel 0.1% 1.6 oz

Overview

ProactivMD's adapalene gel is a 0.1% retinoid formulated for face and body acne, packaged at 1.6 ounces. It is unscented, paraben free and dermatologist tested, targeted at acne prone skin.

Adapalene at 0.1% is a retinoid-class ingredient, differing from the benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid gels in this batch by working through a different mechanism aimed at acne prone skin specifically. The listing frames it as prescription strength despite being sold here, and the target use body part field points mainly to the face.

• 1.6 ounce gel
• 0.1% adapalene
• Formulated for acne prone skin
• Paraben free, dermatologist tested

Who it's for

Suited to people with acne prone skin looking for a retinoid gel rather than a benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid treatment. Not for those wanting a scented or heavily hydrating product, or anyone new to adapalene without checking for skin sensitivity first.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Adapalene is the sole special ingredient, working as a retinoid to address acne rather than through the benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid routes used elsewhere in this batch. The gel and cream hybrid form and 1.6 ounce tube are dermatologist tested and paraben free per the listing.
