I'm a pharmacist. Adapalene is one of the most effective medications for acne, along with benzoyl peroxide. This generic is as effective as the brand name Differin. However, this product causes a mild burning sensation upon application, and it's not as convenient as using a pump. Still, it's a good value for the money. Would recommend, perhaps after using the brand name first. For best results, use in combination with benzoyl peroxide topical.

A great product and the best price I've seen. Beats Walmart and CVS. Results are good too. Even use it on my age spots on arms and legs.

I am using this after using the name brand stuff. The ingredients are basically identical and this is cheaper. It seems to be functioning just as well. My skin is adjusted to using this active, so I did not have any major reactions to it. Sometimes you can get dryness if not used with a moisturizer. I am happy with my purchase overall.

This is the best price you’ll find for a tube this size. I’m 45 and use as part of my fight against “old age” face. It’s less irritating than Retin A and of course is more convenient since it’s over the counter. This and a good moisturizer and you’ll be looking 16 again! It smooths, gets rid of acne, stimulates collagen to help with minor wrinkles and prevent as many wrinkles as you’d get if you used nothing, and it reduces dark spots. Of course this all takes consistency and time, but it’s worth it and far less expensive than doing nothing and waking up one day and forking out big bucks for cosmetic procedures. Great price. Great size. Fast delivery. Same effectiveness as any other brand of adapalene (I work in a pharmacy and have tried tons.)It also is in my teenage son and daughter’s bathrooms. Wash with gentle cleanser, add this adapalene, and moisturize. Teenagers are not good with using multiple products and being consistent. This is one easy and effective thing you can have them use.

The product arrived in good time and the packaging was all good. I read many other reviewers say that they received a much smaller tube than they were expecting. I don't know what they were expecting but the sizing was clearly marked in the product info and I received exactly what I was expecting. I'm new to retinoid's, but after having done extensive research I found adapalene gel is the best you can get without a prescription. You do have to be careful to not overuse this product or you will have burns! Since I started using it just three days a week instead of every other day and amped up my moisturizer game I've had no more issues. It is essential you use a sunscreen with this in the daytime and I use a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid as needed. I have pretty sensitive skin and am very prone to breakouts but I've had no troubles so far. I've only been using it about a month so I can't actually see any results as of yet but only time will tell. I will try to update if possible with photos in a few months with before and afters. Also with Summer coming, we'll see how well it holds up in all the sun! I did get a pretty bad burn initially around my eyes, you have to apply it lightly around your eyes and I do NOT recommend using the Vaseline trick as this stuff is meant to absorb naturally. Too much saturation WILL cause your skin to burn and crack! It feels like the worst sunburn you've ever had but crispier. It is not pleasant. A couple days of coating on hyaluronic acid moisturizer though gave me much needed relief and took care of the problem. Most dermatologists recommend you only need three things for perfect skin, a good retinoid, SPF, and moisturizer. This is a much more affordable option than the name brand and see absolutely no reason why it shouldn't work just as well. A little goes a long way and it doesn't leave any greasy residue. It is recommended you don't use it straight out of the shower or right after washing your face as it absorbs too quickly that way. So wait a few minutes after washing your face to apply it, go easy around the eyes as the skin is much thinner there, and then wait another ten to fifteen minutes and generously apply some moisturizer. Follow these steps and use this product conscientiously and you should have no problems.

This product is amazing! Works on deep blemishes too. Used twice a day morning and night. It works quickly within 3-5 days to see blemishes are gone!

It works just as well as the name brand. Switched to this because it was cheaper, used it a few times and have started experiencing dryness with burning. Did not have that issue with the name brand.
