## Description

Product Description La Roche-Posay Effaclar Adapalene Gel Acne Treatment is a prescription-strength retinoid acne treatment. This oil-free, fragrance-free 45g acne treatment contains adapalene, retinoids for face, a dermatologist recommended retinoid. Retinoids are recommended by dermatologists to help clear and prevent blackheads, whiteheads, clogged pores, and acne blemishes. This non-greasy, gel-like texture is quickly absorbed into skin. Dermatologist developed and dermatologist tested. Suitable for adult acne and teen acne (12 and up). Acne skincare suitable for acne-prone and oily skin. If pregnant or breast-feeding, ask a doctor before use. To open the product, remove the cap and insert the opposite side of the cap into the foil. Push down on the cap and twist until the foil is punctured. Oil-Free, Non Comedogenic, Fragrance-Free, Use once daily. Clean the skin gently and pat dry before applying product. Effaclar Adapalene gel 0.1% is not a spot treatment and should not be used to treat a single pimple. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer. For example, if your acne is on the face, apply the product to the entire face. Do not use more than one time a day. Applying more than directed will not provide faster or better results, but may worsen skin irritation. During the early weeks of use, your acne may appear to worsen before it improves (this is normal); continue use as directed, unless you get irritation that becomes severe. Irritation is more likely to occur in the first few weeks of use or if using more than one topical acne medication at a time but irritation usually lessens with continued use of this product. Applying more than directed will not provide faster or better results. It may take up to 3 months of once daily use to see results. For further instructions, refer to the Drug Facts on the packaging Active Ingredient: Adapalene USP 0.1% (retinoid)* (Acne Treatment). Inactive Ingredients: carbomer homopolymer, edetate disodium, methylparaben, poloxamer 182, propylene glycol, purified water, and sodium hydroxide Product packaging may vary. 1 Recommended by 90,000 dermatologists worldwide, La Roche-Posay offers unique daily skincare developed using a strict formulation charter and stringent clinical testing for efficacy and safety, even on sensitive skin.

Review: It works - First of all, people who rated this product low--- this product was doing exactly what it was supposed to do. People just don't bother to research how to exactly use it. If you've never used a retinoid (adapalene, tretinoin, retinol, retinal), you have to start slow. Like maybe 1-2x a week, then every other day, then maybe daily. Yes, your skin might purge and will get worse before it gets better. Doesn't mean that the product doesn't work because it's doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing. If your skin is getting really dry, take a break and moisturize. If you're going outside (even if you're only going to be driving), **wear sunscreen** (and no, your makeup that has SPF in it is not enough. You don't apply enough of it to actually get adequate sun protection. And use at least an SPF 30. ). If you're applying adapalene at night, then apply other actives (vitamin C, AHA/BHA's, etc) either during the day or take a night off from adapalene and apply. Otherwise applying both at the same time is just asking to ruin your skin barrier....making your skin raw, flaky, sensitive, etc. Adapalene is used for acne, but it's also a strong retinoid also used for anti aging (I use for anti aging the nights I take a break from tretinoin... and it's working beautifully). Another thing is this may take time to see results. But steady, consistent use will provide results. Just takes some patience. If you experience purging (retinization... happens to most when starting a retinoid), it's OK. It usually gets worse before it gets better. It happened to me with tretinoin (I got break outs when I usually don't experience any) and that's why I started this product because my skin takes to adapalene much better than tretinoin. Anyway, if you're on the fence about this, don't be. Just research the best way for you to use this. I just can't stand when people give a product a low rating for "not working" or "it broke me out", "it dried out my skin", "I used for a week and nothing happened", etc when it's doing **exactly** what it's supposed to. I really like the formulation of La Roche Posay's adapalene the best. My skin absorbs the gel way better than most adapalene creams and gels out there. And I've been using the 1.6oz tube for about 5-6 months. I use this a few times a week (4-5x) and just ordered a new tube. So it'll last you awhile. If you're experiencing a lot of irritation, try applying moisturizer first, then adapalene 15-30min later, then moisturizer again 10-15 min after that. Make sure you have a really good moisturizer (I love Elf Holy Hydration sleep mask only I don't wash it off, or CeraVe moisturizer), use a gentle cleanser (I use one from Cetaphil). And if you go outside at all, use a sunscreen (use the 2 finger rule for measuring how much you need...and SPF 30 at least. I have one from Apostrophe that wears beautifully under makeup. Others are Bondi Sands SPF 50, and I love the Sun Bum spray mist SPF 45 for reapplying over makeup. Works really, really well). And remember to be patient. It's one of the best adapalene gels I've ever tried.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful acne treatment that actually delivers results
*by S***H on April 8, 2026*

I started using this and it’s one of the few acne treatments where I actually noticed a real difference. It’s definitely more of a “treatment” than a quick fix, but once you stick with it, it really works. The main ingredient is adapalene, which is a retinoid that helps unclog pores and prevent breakouts before they start . After a couple weeks, I started seeing fewer breakouts and my skin looked smoother overall. That said, there is a bit of an adjustment period. My skin was a little dry at first and I had to ease into using it, but once I figured out how often to apply it, it got much better. Using a moisturizer alongside it definitely helps. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, and I like that it’s oil-free and doesn’t feel greasy. It feels like a more “serious” skincare product compared to a lot of over-the-counter options. Overall, if you’re dealing with consistent breakouts and want something that actually treats the problem long-term, this is a really solid choice. Just be patient with it and give it time 👍
