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!

Acne

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.

Adapalene Gel 0.1% Acne Treatment

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.

Great product

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.

Gentle and Effective

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!

Nice sub for Retin A

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

Gentle but effective with long-term efforts

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.

Finally a retinoid product I can use

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.

Great!

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.

Works for acne

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

Mostly good

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.

Alternative to retinol for anti-aging

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!

Great!

My skin has a hard time adjusting to Tretinoin even at the lowest concentration of 0.025%. This has been non irritating to my skin so I would definitely recommend as an alternative to persons having many side effects of tret.

Adapalene 0.1%

I was looking for an alternative to retinol and researched adapalene. My skin reacts terribly to retinol, but this is different! I can actually use adapalene without the extreme sensitivity, redness, and peeling I have with retinol. Whenever I feel the beginnings of a pimple, I use this gel and it disappears almost overnight.

Adapalene gel

Good product, can be a little to drying if used to often without incorporating a moisturizer. Worked best for me to start with 2 times a week to adjust my skin . Cost effective and does work.

Prefer to the Differin

It irritates my skin less than a different brand, though there might not be a scientific reason for that. I use my moisturizer underneath this to get my skin used to it and it's a big improvement! Really like the product and I know it'll last a long time.
