Glenmark Therapeutics Adapalene Gel 0.1% Acne Treatment — 15g Paraben-Free Retinoid Gel for Face, Once-Daily

Glenmark Therapeutics Adapalene Gel 0.1% is a once-daily, paraben-free topical retinoid gel formulated to help clear existing acne and reduce the formation of clogged pores.

This lightweight 15 g tube contains adapalene, USP — a retinoid designed to normalize skin cell turnover and reduce the accumulation of dead skin cells that can block pores. Previously available by prescription, this dermatologist-developed formula is now accessible over-the-counter for adults and adolescents 12 years and older. The gel texture absorbs quickly, making it easy to include in an evening skincare routine.

How should I use this adapalene gel for best results?

Apply once daily in the evening after cleansing and drying your skin. Use a pea-sized amount to cover the affected areas with a thin layer; avoid applying more often or in larger amounts, as increased frequency does not speed results and can increase irritation.

• Cleanse gently and pat skin dry before application.
• Apply a thin layer to the entire affected area — not spot treatments only.
• Use once every 24 hours, ideally at night to limit sun exposure.
• Read the consumer information leaflet included with the tube.

What can I expect in terms of skin reaction and visible change?

Some dryness, redness, or mild peeling can occur early in treatment as the skin adapts to the retinoid. These responses are common when starting topical retinoids; they often lessen over a few weeks. If irritation is persistent or severe, reduce frequency and consult a healthcare professional.

• Mild dryness or flaking during initial weeks is common.
• Gradual improvement in clogged pores and fewer new lesions over weeks.
• Avoid combining with other exfoliating or abrasive products without guidance.

Is this product safe and what are the formulation details?

Glenmark Therapeutics Adapalene Gel 0.1% is paraben-free and formulated specifically for acne-prone skin. It contains adapalene as the active ingredient and is intended for use in individuals aged 12 and older. As with any topical retinoid, follow directions and avoid contact with eyes, lips, and mucous membranes.

• Active: adapalene, USP 0.1% in a gel base.
• Paraben-free formulation to reduce exposure to common preservatives.
• Designed for once-daily topical application to the face or other affected areas.

How should I combine this with other skincare and sun protection?

Because adapalene can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, use daily sunscreen during daylight hours and apply moisturizers to help manage dryness. Avoid using other strong exfoliants, benzoyl peroxide, or acids at the same time without professional advice to minimize irritation.

• Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily while using this product.
• Introduce gentle moisturizers to offset dryness and flaking.
• Consult a dermatologist before layering with other active acne treatments.
