To open the product, remove the cap and insert the opposite side of the cap into the foil. Push down on the cap and twist until the foil is punctured.
Use once daily. Clean the skin gently and pat dry before applying product. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer. For example, if your acne is on the face, apply the product to the entire face. Do not use more than one time a day. Applying more than directed will not provide faster or better results, but may worsen skin irritation. During the early weeks of use, your acne may appear to worsen before it improves (this is normal); continue use as directed, unless you get irritation that becomes severe. Irritation is more likely to occur in the first few weeks of use or if using more than one topical acne medication at a time but irritation usually lessens with continued use of this product. Applying more than directed will not provide faster or better results. It may take up to 3 months of once daily use to see results. For further instructions, refer to the Drug Facts on the packaging.
Precautions: Suitable for children 12 years and up. If pregnant or breast-feeding, ask a doctor before use.
Active: Adapalene USP 0.1% (Retinoid)* (Acne Treatment). Inactive: Carbomer Homopolymer, Edetate Disodium, Methylparaben, Poloxamer 182, Propylene Glycol, Purified Water, And Sodium Hydroxide.

Its effective on my skin

Kind of works
I bought this product because I have acne scars that kind of just popped up one day, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out where they came from, as I have clear skin. So I decided to try this brand because of how much dermatologists praise it. I did some research and I ended up with the Effac...

I added this to my routine as my intro to retinol having never used a retinol product previously. I definitely noticed it helped with my skin texture, but it didn't really go beyond that. Perhaps it's due to it being such a low % and more of a beginner retinol? I used almost the entire tube over the course of a month, using every evening. My skin was smoother, but not much clearer, and I didn't notice an improvement of my acne scarring. Won't be buying again, unfortunately.

Ugh I love LA Roche. Their retinol is great but this just made my skin feeling dry and tights after applying. It doesn't set into the skin. I apply moisturizer or serum after but in the morning after my morning routine, my skim gets oily!
Just not for me.
I so wanted this to work for me! And after reading all the positive reciews i thought it would. I was uber patient and gave it 5 months of consistent use. There was no noticablr benefit. My skin was dry and patchy. i was getting massive pimples that i disnt have before. Makeup looked like crap because of rhe flaking. I did cut back to using every other nignt at one point to get the dryness under control and that did help. but i was still breaking out often. i fibally decided to give up and will move on to trying another la roche posay product.
Really Disappointed

Bought this about three months ago and I'm sadly really disappointed. I've been holding out hope that it takes time to work or gets worse before it gets better, but I've seen no difference and I'm questioning if my skin has even gotten worse from it.
Only cream it has actually help me

This is the only cream that has actually help me with my acne. I suffer from hormonal acne and when that time of the month comes I start breaking out. I have tried other kind of creams, gels, treatments etc and nothing work as well as this,
