Topical adapalene is an effective treatment for acne vulgaris. It is also an effective anti-aging treatment.
Adapalene is a retinoid and it increases skin turnover and also stimulates collagen production. It can, therefore, help fade pigmentation on the face and fine wrinkles.
In some people, Adapalene can cause dryness and irritation of the skin. I will often prescribe a moisturizer together with adapalene to reduce the irritation effects.
