- Anti-Inflammatory Action: ADAFERIN GEL exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce redness and inflammation associated with acne lesions.
- Normalizes Skin Cell Growth: By regulating the turnover of skin cells, Adapalene helps prevent the clogging of hair follicles, leading to clearer and healthier skin.

These side effects are usually mild and may decrease with continued use. However, if severe or persistent side effects occur, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
Usage Guidelines:
- Application: Apply a thin layer of ADAFERIN GEL to the affected areas of the skin once daily, usually in the evening, or as directed by the healthcare provider.
- Clean and Dry Skin: Ensure that the skin is clean and dry before applying the gel. Avoid using excessive amounts.
