Product Description

 

Adapco Cream is a topical treatment for acne, formulated to clear up existing breakouts and prevent new ones from forming. The primary active ingredient is adapalene, a potent retinoid. Adapalene works by normalizing the differentiation of follicular epithelial cells, which prevents the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and reduces the inflammatory lesions of acne.

By addressing acne at its source, Adapco Cream not only helps to reduce the number of pimples and blemishes but also contributes to an overall improvement in skin texture and tone. Its cream base is designed for easy application, ensuring a smooth and even layer over the affected areas. Regular and consistent use of this product, as directed by a healthcare professional, is essential for achieving the best results and maintaining clear skin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Q1: How does Adapco Cream work to treat acne? The active ingredient, adapalene, works by unclogging pores and preventing them from becoming blocked with dead skin cells and oil. This helps to reduce both blackheads and whiteheads and also has an anti-inflammatory effect on pimples.

Q2: Will my skin get worse before it gets better? It is common to experience an initial “purging” phase during the first few weeks of using a retinoid like adapalene. You may notice an increase in breakouts as the medication brings underlying comedones to the surface. This is a normal part of the process and a sign that the medication is working.

Q3: Is sun protection necessary when using this cream? Yes, it is crucial. Retinoids make your skin more sensitive to the sun, increasing the risk of sunburn and hyperpigmentation. You must use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days.

Q4: How long does it take to see results? You may start to see an improvement in your skin after 4-6 weeks of consistent use. However, full benefits typically appear after 3 months of continuous treatment.

Q5: What should I do if I experience severe irritation? If you experience severe redness, peeling, burning, or swelling, you should stop using the cream and contact your doctor or dermatologist immediately. They may recommend reducing the frequency of application or a different treatment.
