What the gurus are saying

Gurus praise adapalene as one of the gentler retinoids, favoring it for acne-prone skin because it normalizes cell turnover, reduces redness and swelling, and can help with hyperpigmentation while being better tolerated than stronger retinoids. Key caution: apply sparingly, avoid sensitive areas like the eye corners and mouth, and use at night as a general rule despite its photostability.

"This is going to work to prevent new acne from forming. Adapalene helps normalize your skin cell turnover and it is really good for addressing this particular cause of acne. It's anti-inflammatory, which helps reduce redness and swelling on the skin."

"Acnefree is a good option now this is a retinoid. Adapalene is one of the least irritating retinoids and it has a variety of benefits for acne specifically in that not only is it a less irritating retinoid so people tolerate it better but it also has anti-inflammatory properties and it can help lighten and prevent hyperpigmentation. You don't want to use near the eyes you don't want to use in the corners of the mouth corners of the nose and again you only need a very thin film can be used at night time or in the morning. In contrast to some other forms of topical vitamin A topical retinoids adapalene is photostable technically can be worn during the day although generally I advise people to put it on at night time."
