How To Use
  • HOW TO USE THIS MEDICATION: Apply the gel usually once a day to affected areas after washing in the evening before bedtime.
  • A thin film is adequate, while avoiding the eyes, lips, angles of the nose and mucous membranes (such as the mouth).
  • To avoid contaminating the container do not touch the tip while withdrawing medicine.
  • During the early weeks of use, the acne may appear to worsen.
  • This is due to the medicine working on unseen pimples and is expected to occur.
  • Results should be obvious after 8-12 weeks.

Side Effects
  • Redness, dryness, scaling, burning and itching of the skin can occur.
  • The effects usually lessen as you continue to use the medicine.
  • If these continue or are bothersome, notify your doctor.
  • Unlikely but report if your skin becomes very red/irritated or the burning sensation is very intense and prolonged.
  • If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Precautions
  • Before using this drug, tell your doctor of any allergies or sunburn you may have.
  • Exposure to sunlight, including sunlamps, should be minimized while using this medicine.
  • Use of sunscreen and protective clothing will allow more sun exposure.
  • Adapalene should not be applied to cuts, scrapes, sunburned or eczema-affected skin.
  • Particular caution is advised when you have used products containing sulfur, resorcinol or salicylic acid.
  • Wait until the effects of such products on the skin have decreased before using adapalene gel.
  • This medication should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy.
  • Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
  • It is not known whether adapalene is excreted into human milk.
  • Discuss the risks of breast-feeding with your doctor.

Missed Dose
  • If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember.
  • If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule.
  • Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.

Drug Interactions
  • Tell your doctor of all nonprescription or prescription medication you may take or use, especially medicated or abrasive soaps and cleansers, soaps and cosmetics that have a strong drying effect, and products with significant amounts of alcohol, astringents (drying agents), spices or lime.

Sex: M
Age: 27
Time Taken: 1 months

Reason: acne - face, back Date: 28 May 2007
Side Effects
None. I am taking this together with tetracycline. I am using differin at night and Lachydrine (or generic AmLactin) during the day as moisturizer. Using DOVE as a soap. I am always careful to have my skin hydrated since dehydration worsens acne (some of the red color is due to that).

Additional Thoughts
I am using this a little on my face (since I don't have a bad condition there) but mostly on my back. There is a slight improvement on my back but not yet significant. However, I have been using the product only for a month now. Doctors told me that my back condition is a combination of acne and KP. KP is not an easy thing to treat.

Side Effects
Red VERY dry skin, tender around eyes, broke out worse for first 2 weeks

Additional Thoughts
I went on ti because I am getting married May/08 and wanted picture perfect skin. Starting to notice improvement. Skins still a little red on my chin and getting small red pimples but nothing like before I started. Maybe doesn't work for everyone but try to be patient if it doesn't work right away and keep mosturizing. My doc said 2 to 6 weeks to really notice chance.

I use at night. Saw improvement almost immediately. I love this product. Also makes skin look brighter and refreshed. Note: do not have any part of your face waxed when using this product. It will cause burns.

Time Taken: 9 weeks

Reason: mild acne from Birth Control Date: 9 July 2007
Side Effects
first 2 months acne got severly worse. After the first week I could see white bumps under my skin where I was about to break out

Additional Thoughts
I was prescribed diffrin because or hormone irregularity after being on Seasonale Birth Control. I previously didnt have acne but then I got it. This product seems like h*ll at first, making you breakout everywhere, even if you never really did there before, BUT STICK WITH IT. I'm on week 9 and my skin is significantly clearer (A few scars but they will fade with time). i know the pimples are painful but they will go away. dont quit early!
