Quick Tips
Apply it to the affected area once a day at bedtime. It makes your skin more sensitive toward sunlight. Apply sunscreen or wear protective clothing while stepping out. 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. Be careful when applying Adapure Gel to large areas since it can bleach hair, clothing, and furnishings upon contact. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, and breastfeeding.
