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.

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.

LRP adapalene gel

This stuff is awesome! I have tried LOTS of acne treatments and LOTS of retinol type treatments. I have skin that is oily, acne prone and tends to be pretty sensitive. I have started using this at night M,W,F and have noticed my cystic type acne is no longer red and inflamed and all my white heads are disappearing. I wouldn’t say that I have severe acne but I have persistent hormonal acne and sometimes it takes a long time to clear up and then once it does I have another one pop up. This stuff made a difference almost immediately and with no irritation. I really like it! It’s affordable and works well for me. Definitely recommend trying it!

Great!

I love this formula. I use it about once a week and my skin just looks and feels so much healthier. I have pretty sensitive skin so I use this very sparingly.

LA Roche Posay Effaclar Adapalene Gel 0.1%

My dermatologist suggested this to me as an option to Retin A. It’s much less expensive. Although it's too early to see results, I have no flaking and I love its smooth creamy texture as I apply it. I definitely will keep using it as my retinoid.

Great for teen acne

I have a teenage son that has used this for a few years. He mixes it with hyaluronic acid serum nightly and it keeps his skin clear.

Very gentle

This product is very gentle but does help with acne. I am 62 years old and never would of thought I would have acne. Thanks for a great product.

La-Roche Posay Effaclar Adapalene works!!

I have used this product for several years now with very exciting results! I’ve always had some blackheads, especially on my nose, that I absolutely despise and the Effaclar Adapalene has really worked to keep them clear and prevent new ones. I’ve tried Retin-A over the years and even at the lowest dose, has been too harsh on my skin, especially my nose. Ever since I first started using this, I’ve had no reactions, no sensitivity and no additional redness that some of the other topical vitamin A formulas can cause. I highly recommend trying this product!

More please!

I got this as a sample and had to have the full size. If I use just a dab of this on a zit or even where I can feel one growing under the skin, it stops the growth! This is hands down the best acne fighter in my arsenal! As an adult with acne (yuck!) I have hunted for how to zap those puppies when they pop up. This really works!

Takes time to start working, but great product.

As you may know, adapalene requires patience. It needs to be used consistently and it takes a couple months to start reaping the benefits. This product is great because it's fragrance free, and doesn't bleach fabric and hair like benzoyl peroxide does. Plus it has the added benefit of anti-aging properties. Would recommend.

Anti aging

I have been using this one every other day for anti aging. No irritation so far. I put on my serum and moisturizer first. Wait until my face is completely dry and apply this product.

The best

I have rosacea and very sensitive skin so I can't use tretinoin but this is the next best thing! Will use this forever unless my skin miraculously decides it can tolerate tretinoin. Love this.

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.

Beginners product

This is a good start to use retinol for beginners. I feels like it is working, without drying out skin too much.

Just started using it...

I just started using this… on my upper back. I use just a little bit to help tackle my back acne. So far not much to say about the results as it has not been enough time, however it has not made me irritated or dry which is a huge plus for me. I will continue using it. I hope that this will help make my back look super clear!

LovelySkin Has the Best Price on This!

Loved the pricing and the product. It has a nice, easy-to-spread texture. I introduced it SLOWLY to reduce any irritation... Once a week for two weeks, then twice a week for two weeks, etc. My skin doesn't allow me to use it daily like the label says, but it worked to using it every 2-3 days, and I'm happy with the results. Listen to your skin with this product! (And wear sunscreen and re-apply it throughout the day, too.) I found that applying a thin layer of moisturizer before applying this product helped quite a bit -- I would apply another layer of moisturizer after applying this and my skin really appreciated the thin buffer.
