Exhibits greater chemical stability and lower cutaneous irritation than tretinoin. Indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris.
Adapalene 0.1% and Clindamycin Phosphate 1% Gel
Adapalene (0.1% w/w gel) is a third-generation synthetic retinoid on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It selectively modulates cellular differentiation and keratinization by binding to retinoic acid receptors beta and gamma, inhibiting microcomedone formation and down-regulating inflammatory lipoxygenase pathways.

Adapalene 0.1% and Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% Gel
Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide is a synergistic dual-mechanism topical anti-acne formulation. Adapalene (0.1%), a third-generation synthetic naphthoic acid retinoid, binds selectively to nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma) to normalize follicular epithelial desquamation and resolve microcomedones while exerting potent anti-inflammatory effects. Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) releases bactericidal reactive oxygen species that rapidly kill Cutibacterium acnes without inducing bacterial resistance, and provides mild keratolysis. Indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris with both inflammatory papules/pustules and non-inflammatory comedones.
