Your questions, answered
What's the active ingredient?
Adapalene 0.1% (a retinoid).
How do I use it?
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin once daily.
Is it dermatologist recommended?
PanOxyl is a dermatologist-recommended acne care range. Follow the directions on the pack and patch test if you have sensitive skin.
I've heard adapalene called 'prescription-strength' - what actually is it?
Adapalene is a topical retinoid that spent decades as a US prescription acne medicine before being approved for over-the-counter sale at 0.1%. Per the US label it treats acne by keeping pores from clogging at the source - it normalises how skin cells turn over, targeting blackheads, whiteheads and blemishes.
My skin got WORSE in week three - is it broken?
That's the notorious retinoid adjustment period, and it's normal: as pore contents come up and out, things can look worse before they look better. Most people see clear improvement by week eight to twelve. A pea-sized amount for the whole face, once daily, no more - and don't quit at week three.
Can I use it with benzoyl peroxide, like the PanOxyl wash?
A benzoyl peroxide wash-off cleanser plus adapalene at night is a classic pairing - the wash rinses off before the retinoid goes on. Avoid layering strong leave-on actives at the same time as adapalene, especially early on. Follow the label directions closely, and ask a pharmacist if you're unsure whether it suits you.
Any rules I shouldn't break with adapalene?
Three big ones from the US label: use sunscreen daily as it increases sun sensitivity, moisturise to manage dryness, and avoid it if you're pregnant or planning to be - ask your doctor first. Also keep it away from eyes, lips and broken skin.
Individual results may vary.
