Adaferin Gel – Advanced Acne Treatment with Adapalene

Adaferin Gel is a powerful topical retinoid treatment used for managing mild to moderate acne, including blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammatory pimples. It contains Adapalene, a derivative of vitamin A, which targets clogged pores, reduces oil production, and controls inflammation to restore clear and healthy skin.

Key Uses of Adaferin Gel:

• Treatment of acne (pimples, blackheads, whiteheads)
• Unclogs blocked pores and reduces oiliness
• Prevents new breakouts and acne scarring

How Adaferin Gel Works?

Adaferin Gel works by normalizing the turnover of skin cells and reducing sebum (oil) buildup in the skin. It helps prevent pore blockages, encourages natural exfoliation, and calms inflammation, effectively addressing the root causes of acne.

Benefits of Adaferin Gel:

• Clears and prevents acne breakouts
• Improves skin texture and reduces blemishes
• Minimizes blackheads and whiteheads
• Promotes long-term skin clarity with consistent use
• Boosts self-esteem by improving overall skin appearance

How to Use Adaferin Gel?

1. Use once daily at bedtime, or as prescribed by your doctor.
2. Clean and dry the affected area before application.
3. Apply a thin film of the gel to the entire area (not just pimples).
4. Wash your hands after applying unless your hands are being treated.

Tip: Use a gentle moisturizer and apply sunscreen during the day to avoid dryness and sun sensitivity.
