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 4 out of 5 by from It’s worth it The only thing I wish from this product is that it would be quicker to work but maybe I’m just being picky. So far I’ve been using it for 2 months and I got past the purging faze and now my skin is getting clear and I’m not getting as much white heads anymore.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Look at my before and after photos This product definitely works! I found it to be helpful even outside of treating my acne, it helps with skin texture and anti-aging since it’s a retinol especially if you’re 21 and up. If you don’t want to age badly I also recommend it. It’s unscented and a gel so everyone can use it

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Has great potential, but ruined my skin barrier While amazing if used properly, I totally destroyed my skin barrier because I didn’t start off using the product slowly. I enjoyed the results but after a week everything from gentle moisturizer to warm water would burn my face. I think if you start using the product every other day and slowly increase over time then your skin should adjust. If you find your skin burning, the only thing soothing it is aquaphor and the triple moisturizing cream from La roche. Just be cautious and listen to your skin before you overdo it with a retinol.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Holy grail for acne prone skin Using this product has visibly made such a difference in my skin. i’m mastering a good routine with this product is key. ensure to not overuse at the start, 1-2 times per week to start and increase use as your skin tolerates to it. an absolute must is using on dry not damp skin!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Give it a try Very efficient. My daughter mixed it with moisturizer. The first weeks, some parts of the skin reacted (very dry, reddish). But it disappeared and it was never at the same space. I guess the skin had to adjust to the adapalene. I am glad she persisted. The result is absolutely awesome. She tried another brand but came back to La Roche Posay, the only cream she is comfortable with.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Does the job I use this a couple times of week and as acne treatment. Does a good job of reducing acne in a couple of days. I think there are cheaper alternatives
