  • Ineligible / Referred to in-person care: Patients with severe nodulocystic acne, deep scarring, or those seeking oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics. These presentations require hands-on clinical monitoring.

What Adapalene actually does

Adapalene is a third-generation topical retinoid that modulates cellular differentiation and keratinisation, preventing microcomedones from forming. On our platform, doctors prescribe it combined with benzoyl peroxide (0.1% / 2.5%), which adds a direct antimicrobial mechanism against Cutibacterium acnes without triggering antibiotic resistance.

Editorial still life illustrating What treatment actually does
What treatment actually does
Treatment Option Active Ingredients Application Routine Primary Clinical Target
Adapalene + BPO Gel Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% Once nightly Comedones, cellular turnover, and surface bacteria
Azelaic Acid Gel Azelaic Acid 15% Twice daily Comedolysis, post-inflammatory pigmentation, sensitive skin
Clindamycin + BPO Gel Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3% or 5% Once nightly (max 12 weeks) Inflammatory pustules with resistance prevention

Retinoid purging commonly occurs between weeks 2 and 6 as cellular turnover accelerates. Meaningful therapeutic change is evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent application.

Side effects and when to stop

Initial skin irritation is common when starting topical retinoid combinations. Most side effects are manageable by adjusting moisturiser use or spacing out applications.

  • Expected mild reactions: Dryness, mild erythema, localized peeling, and transient stinging during the first 2 to 4 weeks.
  • Management: Apply a non-comedogenic moisturiser, use a gentle cleanser, and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as retinoids increase photosensitivity.
  • When to stop: Discontinue use and seek medical attention if you experience severe contact dermatitis, intense burning, facial swelling, or blistering.
