Adaferin Gel is a form of vitamin A which treats acne (pimples). It works by preventing accumulation of the sebum (skin’s natural oil) which unblocks the pores and allows natural exfoliation of the outer layers of skin.

Adaferin Gel helps treat mild to moderate acne. Apply it to the affected area once a day at bedtime. Avoid exposure to strong sunlight and artificial UV light. Use of sunscreen products (non-comedogenic) and protective clothing over the treated area is recommended. Avoid getting it in your eyes or mouth. If this happens, rinse with water immediately. Do not apply to broken, sunburnt or sensitive areas of skin. Inform your doctor if you notice unusual dryness, redness and peeling of the skin. Avoid getting any cosmetic procedures done without consulting your doctor first. Do not use Adaferin Gel if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy.
