Adakleen Adapalene Gel 0.1% (15g)

Adakleen Adapalene Gel 0.1% (15g)

A gentle, next-generation retinoid gel for acne-prone skin, with fewer irritation concerns than traditional tretinoin.

Adakleen 0.1% contains adapalene, a synthetic retinoid developed specifically for acne treatment. It works by helping to prevent clogged pores, reducing inflammation and supporting healthy skin cell turnover — while generally being better tolerated than tretinoin, especially for beginners.

This is a great option if you want the benefits of a retinoid with a lower risk of irritation, or if tretinoin has been too strong for your skin.

How to use ?
