Product Description

Adapalene is a third-generation synthetic retinoid used primarily for acne treatment. It works by regulating keratinocyte differentiation, reducing microcomedone formation, and providing anti-inflammatory effects. Due to its stable chemical structure, Adapalene is less irritating than older retinoids and offers better photostability, making it suitable for long-term dermatological formulations such as gels, creams, and lotions.

How Adapalene Works

Adapalene inhibits the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, reducing the formation of hydrogen and bicarbonate ions.
This leads to:
Reduced aqueous humor formation → ↓ intraocular pressure
Increased bicarbonate excretion → diuresis
Mild metabolic acidosis → ↑ ventilation
Neuronal stabilization → antiepileptic effect
