Product Introduction
Adaferin Gel is a medication used to treat mild to moderate acne. It helps prevent the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads by reducing excessive oil production and clearing blocked pores. Additionally, it reduces inflammation associated with acne.
Adaferin Gel is typically applied to the affected area once a day at bedtime. To protect your skin, avoid unnecessary sun exposure and cover treated areas with clothing or sunscreen before going outside. Drink plenty of water and use a moisturizer, as the gel can cause dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes. It may also make your skin more fragile, so avoid any cosmetic procedures during the treatment period.
Adaferin Gel should not be used during pregnancy as it may cause birth defects. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant before using this medication.

Benefits of Adaferin Gel
In treating acne, Adaferin Gel reduces excessive oil production that contributes to acne. It may take a few weeks to see noticeable effects, so continue using it even if there is no immediate improvement. Acne may initially worsen before getting better, but with proper use, your skin will gradually clear. Early use can also reduce the likelihood of scarring. Clear skin can improve your mood and boost your confidence.

How Adaferin Gel Works
Adaferin Gel contains a form of vitamin A that treats acne by preventing the accumulation of sebum (skin’s natural oil), which unblocks pores and promotes natural exfoliation of the outer skin layers.
