Adapalene 0.1% USP Gel, Paraben Free, Retinoid Acne-Prone Facial Treatment for Sensitive Skin, Prescription Strength (1.6 Oz)

I've been consistently impressed with this TARO Adapalene Gel. As a USP-grade product, the quality is excellent—it has a light, non-greasy texture that absorbs well and is formulated without parabens, which is a big plus for my skincare routine. It has been highly effective for its intended purpose, showing clear results over time. For a pharmaceutical-grade product that delivers on its promise and comes in a substantial tube, the price represents a very good value, especially compared to other brands. This has become a reliable staple in my regimen.

This works just as well as name-brand adapalene at a much better price. The gel is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel greasy. After a few weeks of consistent use, my skin looked clearer and smoother. Minimal irritation when used correctly with moisturizer. Very happy with this product.

I was expecting the same “does very little” results as it seems most OTC products deliver. However, while it took almost a month (and product does say that it takes time), it really did prevent/significantly reduce breakouts. I’d suggest, try one tube. Follow directions. Give it a month.

I like how readily the gel absorbs without leaving a greasy layer on top of my skin. I have an oily t-zone so the last thing I need is more oil. This is an economical way to control acne that won't bleach your clothing, like benzoyl peroxide. According to Grok, adapalene can also minimize fine lines. I am middle aged, so this is a bonus. I still keep it off my neck because I get a red rash at the base of my neck if I'm not careful. Prior to applying this gel, I put on a layer of moisturizer on this sensitive area and let it dry before applying adapalene. Some will always migrate, so be careful on your sensitive spots. I read that adapalene can be used during the day because it doesn't break down readily under sunlight like tretinoin does.

My daughter has been using this Gel for acne, and it has helped improve her skin. It’s affordable and easy to incorporate into her routine, which is a big plus. Like most acne treatments, it can be a little drying, but that’s expected and manageable with a good moisturizer. Overall, it’s been effective for her and seems like a solid option for anyone looking for an affordable acne treatment.

This gel is lightweight and doesn't feel sticky after applying it. I let it absorb into my skin for a few minutes, and then use a simple moisturizer on top. By day 4, I noticed that the sebum in my pores was visible to the naked eye. It's so gross but so satisfying. I'll use a small tweezer to pull them out. Highly recommend trying this product for clear skin.

If you can make it past the 1-3 month purge period, you will be so thankful you began. After a month I saw a huge difference and after 3 months I can say my acne is pretty much gone. Every now and then I get a small whitehead or the occasional bump under the skin but nothing like I have dealt with in the past for YEARS. I did get some irritation around my eyelids so I was careful to make sure I avoided that area completely. It has also helped with redness and scars. For the price point I say it’s worth a try for anyone struggling with acne. Just start slow & stick it out, even if your skin gets worse at first! It will get worse before it gets better

Absolutely love this stuff for stubborn acne. I use it in my morning skincare routine, or as spot treatment at night. Works wonders on my cystic acne.
