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.

I’ve been using this product for several weeks, and my pores look cleaner and less clogged. I definitely recommend La Roche-Posay acne cream to anyone looking for an effective and gentle solution to combat acne. It’s an excellent investment for skincare!

These facial care products have made such a difference in my skin. They feel gentle but effective, leaving my face soft, hydrated, and glowing. I’ve noticed fewer breakouts and smoother texture. Highly recommend for a simple, effective skincare routine!

I love adapalene. It is saving my skin. This product and the Differin brand of adapalene seem identical in look, texture, scent, and effect. It is absolutely a good product. My issue with this brand is that the tube seems to be an insane size in comparison to 15 g size. It looks like the tube is full of product but when I went to use it the first time I had to squeeze the tube down A LOT to get product out. When I squeezed the tube the actual amount of product takes up at most a third of the tube. It seems like a giant waste of tube materials and is deceptive to customers thinking they’re getting a ton of product. Which is what I was expecting. Just put it in a smaller tube that more accurately and realistically represents the actual amount that we are getting. I am so disappointed in that sense. I just feel like I’ve been deceived. I was so excited to find such a large tube. But overall it is a great product.

So back in January of 2021, I started using a 2% BHA not knowing, in my own admitted ignorance, that you cannot combine BHA w/ a retinol without disastrous results (bonus skincare facts for those of you following along at home, it over-exfoliates your skin and basically causes excess clogging). I had been using Tretinoin for almost three years for cystic acne with no adverse affects other than the general peeling and redness. My skin looked great! But I just had to add in a BHA, b/c I am never satisfied and wanted perfect skin tone. Well BOY did I learn my lesson. The BHA destroyed my chin and my pores around my nose... tiny little clogged pores all over the place. If you are reading this, it's those gross oily clogged sebaceous filaments that look black in certain lighting, are hard to see, but feel bumpy when you run over it w/ your finger. Cue panic. I tried everything to get rid of it, not even the Tretinoin worked. Then I found this!! My skin, just in a month of using it, has gone from a constant nightmare, to a clear road to recovery. It says it takes 3 months, but I have already seen great results in 6 weeks. My chin went from red, enflamed, clogged, with some larger spots, to clear, even, and those pesky bumps are almost gone. Can't imagine what it's going to look like in another 6 weeks! Highly, highly recommend. P.S. If you are used to retinol products, your skin will most likely NOT burn and peel, if you haven't used any before, it may cause burning and peeling, BUT it's worth it. Your skin will get used to it.

I love it. My facial acne has improved a lot. It's very good.

This is great. It was suggested by my dermatologist because I got skin tags. Little ones on my face and eyelids. Expensive to have them removed. But, this is a life saver. It works really well. Also, I had acne pretty bad as a teenager leaving little pot marks on my face my whole life. I'm 76 now. My skin is much smoother. It doesn't eliminate all the tags I sometimes get or al the marks but they are very small and much less noticeable and I haven't had any removed since trying this. I've been using this a little over a year now and love it. My face looks nice and smooth now and my confidence is way better. I use it before bed every night and the tube lasts a little over a month. Be careful around the eyes (you only need a small film here) and don't put on the lips. But, you will see the difference. Also, give it a couple of months. You will love it!
