The first FDA-approved, prescription-strength retinoid treatment available without a prescription, this oil- and fragrance-free acne treatment fights blemishes with adapalene gel, a 0.1% retinoid recommended by dermatologists. This vitamin A derivative helps regulate cell turnover while helping to clear and prevent blackheads, whiteheads, clogged pores and blemishes. The non-greasy, gel-like texture quickly absorbs into skin for a lightweight feeling that won't weigh skin down.
Achieve a clear complexion with La Roche-Posay Effaclar Adapalene Gel 0.1% Retinoid Acne Treatment.
Active: Adapalene USP 0.1% (retinoid)* (Acne Treatment)
Inactive: Carbomer HomopolymerEdetate Disodium Methylparaben Poloxamer 182Propylene Glycol Purified Water Sodium Hydroxide
Use once daily. Clean the skin gently and pat dry before applying product. 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 as a spot treatment. Do not use more than once per day.
Please note: Applying more than directed will not provide faster or better results, but may worsen skin irritation. During early weeks of use, acne may appear to worsen before it improves (this is normal); continue use as directed, unless severe irritation occurs. 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 minimizes with continued use of this product. Using a gentle cleanser can help offset these side effects. 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. If pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a doctor before use.

This cream is just as good as the prescription retinol that you get at the doctors' office. Glad that I can get it online.

As someone who has struggled with cystic acne for years, I was skeptical about trying another product, but this has been a game-changer! I have been using this every night for over a year and have noticed a significant reduction in breakouts and blackheads. My skin is clearer, smoother, and overall healthier. I initially experienced some purging, mild dryness, and irritation, but those side effects quickly subsided as my skin adjusted to the product. I highly recommend sandwiching your moisturizer with the gel starting out to minimize any discomfort. If you're looking for an effective and affordable acne treatment, LRP Adapalene Gel is definitely worth considering!

I have been breaking out a lot lately and my usual retinol was not doing anything for me. This just works! It can be very drying so I recommend a moisturizer.

La Roche Posay’s adapalene works so much better on my aging acne prone skin than Differin. I’ve tried many different products including prescription strength Retin-A. This produce doesn’t dry out my skin or cause flaking and has been keeping my acne/oily skin in check. Highly recommend.

This definitely takes time, it won’t work wonders in a couple nights or even a couple weeks, it takes months from my experience since you need to start off slow. But after that, it really makes a difference in your skin. My complexion is so much more even and the breakouts have lessened so much. It isn’t a cure all for me, because I think I’ll always have occasional hormonal breakouts, but it helps so much in terms of amount and even how fast they go away.

I use this every other day to keep acne away and smooth my skin. It's not too harsh and does not cause irritation. Highly recommend!

I used this product in drier weather when my prescription strength Retin A dries out my skin. It is a nice substitute.

I have been debating with myself about this brand and another popular brand on Amazon. In the end, I purchased the LRP Adapalene. And I am glad that I made the perfect choice.

I love this retinoid product. I have never been able to use other retinoid brands. But I finally found one that my skin tolerates well and improves my skin! Increases cell turnover, less sebaceous filament, and softens my skin.

Have been using consistently for 3 years. Decided to stop and use a prescription strength retinoid and acne came back immediately! Did not realize how much of a difference it has made.

Moved on to Rx for more anti-aging benefits, but this helped keep my skin clearer during monthly breakouts.

I changed to this coming from a 1% retinol cream and I still got flaking/peeling for the first few days using this. I didn’t expect it to be much stronger but it was a pleasant surprise. Only negative is that if you use too much it can start to pill and rub off.

I have been using this Effaclar gel for a month for anti-aging. It's too soon to say whether it has reduced fine lines and wrinkles, but I like using the product and will continue with it. I started slowly: twice a week at night, followed by moisturizer. Now I am using it every other night, still following with moisturizer. I have experienced some very slight peeling, but I feel that's a sign that my skin is being renewed and that the product is actually doing something. Good price and good customer service from LovelySkin, as usual!
