DERMATOLOGIST INSIGHT


"Consistency and patience are key to using retinoids successfully. It can take anywhere from 6-12 weeks to see results. If you have sensitive skin, I recommend applying the product 2-3 times a week and then gradually increase usage until you have built up tolerance for daily use."

Board Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Jenny Liu

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Be cautious if you have sensitive skin! I’ve been using La Riche Posay products for years, such as their acne cleansers and toners. I’ve never had any severe reactions with any of their products until I used this gel. I tried this stuff two days ago and now my entire face is severely flakey, red, dry, and painful. It feels and looks like I have a sun burn (I had no sun exposure). Even trying to put moisturizer or Aloe vera gel on my skin, it stings and makes my skin inflamed. I’ve only put a small dab of this gel on my face twice and got this terrible reaction. I’ve never had this reaction to any other product. I’m very disheartened because this gel did seem to help shrink pimples but, it literally ruined my face. Be very cautious when using this gel if you have sensitive skin.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Be careful for dryness The first time I tried this product I had a really bad experience with purging and peeling. It even cause a rash/ incredible amount of redness under my eyes. After reading some of the reviews I’m going to try this product again to and start only 1/2 time a week.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Does this really work I think this product does leave my skin with a burning feeling on my skin I only apply it once in the morning. My skin has greatly become more sensitive then before. I say this product does work but it does burn your skin potentially. So it's a 50/50 in my opinion.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from 3.5 ⭐️ I don’t get much acne nowadays, but when I used this on my face for the first time I noticed I broke out. It wasn’t a severe breakout, but it was still a little inconvenient. My husband, however loved this product! Just because it wasn’t for me, doesn’t mean it’s not for anyone else!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I like So, my dermatologist had just prescribed me an adapalene gel and no pharmacy had it. I came home to this package and this adapalene gel was I there which was a life saver. I actually like this. I didn’t have any issues while using this product. A little goes a long way. I already ordered more.
