Overview
A single retinoid, adapalene, does the work in Taro's acne gel, which is applied to the face from a jar. The listing gives its benefit as anti-acne and states it is free of parabens, microbeads and oil.
A one-active retinoid gel for acne in a larger jar is what a buyer gets, and the free-of labels remove several common irritants. Directions and a timeline for results are absent, so the carton or a clinician has to fill that in.
Who it's for
An acne routine built on a retinoid, with one gel used in the evening. People who are pregnant, or unsure how retinoids affect their skin, should ask a clinician before starting.
Pros and cons
- Adapalene as the single active
- Oil free formula
- Paraben and microbead free
- Jar holds a longer supply
- Directions not listed
- Retinoids can dry the skin
- No other ingredients named
Performance notes
Adapalene is a retinoid that speeds up skin cell turnover and helps keep pores clear, so acne improves gradually with regular use rather than at once. Dryness and flaking are common early on. The oil free base leaves a light layer on top of the skin.
