Composition

• Active Ingredient: Adapalene 0.30% w/w

Mechanism of Action

Adapalene is a third-generation topical retinoid that works by modulating cellular differentiation and keratinization. It prevents the formation of microcomedones, which are the early stage of acne lesions. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce swelling and redness. By promoting faster skin cell turnover and preventing pore blockage, Adgar Gel helps maintain clearer skin over time.

Indications

Adgar Gel 0.30% is indicated for:

• Moderate to severe acne vulgaris
• Persistent acne not responding to lower-strength treatments
• Comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads)
• Inflammatory acne (papules and pustules)

Dosage and Administration

• Apply a thin layer once daily at night to the affected areas.
• Cleanse and dry the skin thoroughly before application.
• Avoid applying near the eyes, lips, and mucous membranes.
• Use only a small amount; overuse may increase irritation without improving results.
• Visible improvement may take 4 to 8 weeks, with continued benefits over longer use.

Benefits

• Provides stronger and more effective acne control
• Reduces both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions
• Helps prevent future breakouts
• Improves skin clarity and texture
• Suitable for long-term dermatological use under supervision

Possible Side Effects

As a higher-strength retinoid, Adgar Gel 0.30% may cause more noticeable skin reactions, especially during the initial phase:

• Skin dryness and peeling
• Redness and irritation
• Burning or stinging sensation
• Increased sensitivity to sunlight

These side effects are usually temporary and tend to decrease as the skin adapts to the treatment.

Precautions and Warnings

• Avoid excessive sun exposure; always use sunscreen during the day.
• Do not apply to damaged, sunburned, or eczematous skin.
• Use with caution in individuals with sensitive skin.
• Not recommended during pregnancy unless clearly necessary and prescribed by a physician.
• Avoid concurrent use of harsh skin products such as exfoliants, astringents, or alcohol-based formulations.
