Does Adapalene Cream Help To Treat Acne And Marks?

I have acne and a lot of scars and marks. A friend of mine recommended Adapalene cream. Shall I try using it without doctor s consent. Moreover my dermatologist gave me tretinoin capsules earlier which only provided temporary results. So shall a give Adapalene gel a try?

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne and marks on face and you want to take Adapalene cream for the same which is entirely safe to use , I would suggest you to take it after proper prescription as effects varies from skin to skin texture. You should apply mashed potatoes on your skin and keep it for 15 min as natural acne remover. Apply Clindamycin gel and Benzoyl peroxide containing gel over the acne. Avoid any steroid based cream. Drink plenty of water and avoid hot, sharp and spicy food substances. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-abrasion and chemical peeling. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
