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 have been using the Adapalene + the duo cream for 8 weeks and I cannot say enough about it. I was hesitant because like many I have very very sensitive skin. What worked for me may not work for another but how I handled the transition to avoid dry irritated skin was an oil from Tuel "detox" - I would wash then apply about 3-5 drops of the oil ( the oil is for acne skin so it will not clog or congest your skin at all ) I let it sit for about 5mins then apply a little less than a pea size of the Adapalene gel. The duo cream I used during the day very small amount spread over my entire face, to help with drying as I said before the oil I used is from Tuel "Rehab". Yes two different oils are used one for day one for night. The duo cream dried out my active acne ( I am cystic acne prone. Big nasty pimples that were nickle size or better on my face) and the Adapalene gel handled the black heads and the turn over of the dead skin on my face. As of today I am cystic acne free for the most part and I'm currently just waiting on the hyperpigmentation to subside, skin is pretty clear. Thank you LRP team for these amazing products.

This retinol is pretty low frills. The formula is good and spreads easily - it is a gel like texture. I did have a purging period when I started using this product, which is normal. I also experience some dryness/peeling which is not abnormal. Although I do not have acne prone skin, this retinol has cleared my blackheads and occasional white heads. My skin also looks brighter and more even
Smoother skin
The first thing i noticed after using this product is the dramatic change in skin texture. It has made my skin smoother. Also, it has helped clear up some acne. However, my skin is quick to burn.

This product was recommended to me by my dermatologist to correct wrinkles. It works very well.
Worked on my cystic hormonal acne
I needed relief from a stubborn cystic pimple i had. This product was recommended to me. I went home that night, used it as a spot treatment and woke up this morning with the pimple completely dried up and pain free. Highly recommend
