Differin (Adapalene) 0.1% Gel
Over-the-Counter Medication (OTC)

Product Overview:
Differin Gel contains Adapalene 0.1%, a topical retinoid used to treat acne. Adapalene works by regulating the skin's cell turnover, helping to prevent clogged pores and reduce the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce redness and irritation associated with acne. Differin is suitable for the treatment of mild to moderate acne and can be used on the face and other affected areas.

Indications:
Differin is indicated for the treatment of acne vulgaris in individuals aged 12 and older. It is effective for both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions, such as:

• Pimples

• Blackheads

• Whiteheads

Dosage and Administration:

• Apply a thin layer of Differin Gel to the affected areas of the skin once daily, preferably in the evening, after cleansing and drying the skin.

• Avoid applying too much of the gel, as this can increase the risk of skin irritation.
