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.

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 used this product for a year and a half in hopes of giving it the adequate time to work but it did absolutely nothing. I have cystic acne and still struggle with it, but this has no effect.
I love it

I love this product is changed my skin. When I first used it my skin started to purge and peel which is completely normal for a retinod. After that stage my skin completely cleared up. Using this product took time but it was worth it.
La Roche Posay, I love you

At this point I own most of the La roche posay line and for good reason. This brand is trusted, delivers results and has a competitive price. If I only owned one product by the brand- it would be this. Since starting adapalene a month ago, I've already noticed an extreme change to the texture of my skin. (My skin has always been textured with small bumps and has sun damage). My skin feels so much smoother and my breakouts are smaller. I can't wait to see the difference after a few more months. Holy grail!
BE PATIENT TO SEE RESULTS!! TOTALLY WORTH IT!

The product might be harsh on your skin when you first start. I had redness, slight burning, and really really dry skin when I started. Trust the process and start slow since your skin is going to purge before it gets better. Have a consistent routine where you start with a few days a week and then build up. Use a heavy duty moisturizer and SUNSCREEN!!!!! You will definitely see results after a new weeks/months of consistent use depending on your skin's condition! Don't be afraid and just have patience :)
