It is important to keep using Adapalene Gel daily to achieve maximum results. Irritation usually begins to lessen after four weeks of continued, once-daily use. But if irritation is severe you should discontinue use and consult a health care professional.
Using a gentle cleanser and moisturizer is strongly encouraged to decrease dryness and other signs of irritation. Irritation may also occur if you’re using more than one topical acne product at a time. Avoid products containing harsh chemicals, salicylic acid, alpha hydroxy acid or glycolic acid which may dry out skin and worsen irritation.
