Adiporin Gel (Adapalene)

Adult dosage

After cleaning and drying the affected area, apply a thin layer to the acne area once daily before bedtime, avoiding the eyes, lips, mucous membranes, and around the nose. If skin irritation occurs, reduce the application frequency (e.g. once every two days) or discontinue treatment. Once irritation subsides, the application frequency can be increased or treatment can be restarted. Clinical improvement may be observed after 4–8 weeks of treatment, with additional improvement possible after 3 months.

This medication contains an ingredient called propylene glycol, so caution is advised for those allergic to this component. Skin dryness, irritation, stinging, redness, and other symptoms may occur during use, but these usually disappear when the application frequency is reduced or discontinued. If severe skin irritation or allergic reactions occur, reduce the frequency of use or discontinue temporarily, and resume use once symptoms improve. During treatment, it is best to avoid exposure to sunlight or artificial ultraviolet light, and if exposure is unavoidable, wearing sunscreen and protective items like hats is recommended. Avoid using this medication on days with high sun exposure to help reduce skin irritation. Increasing the application volume to enhance the effects of this medication is not advisable, as it may actually worsen skin irritation.
