🌙 When & How to Use
PM use is recommended.
Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser and allow the skin to dry completely.
Apply approximately a pea-sized amount in a very thin layer across the acne-prone area. More product does not mean faster results and may simply increase irritation.
If you have never used adapalene before, start slowly:
Week 1–2: 2–3 evenings per week
Then: Gradually increase according to skin tolerance.
Follow with a gentle moisturiser.
☀️ Morning Routine
Cleanse → Moisturiser → SPF 30–50
Daily SPF is extremely important while using adapalene, particularly if you are also trying to improve post-acne marks and pigmentation.
⚠️ Start Low & Go Slow
Adapalene can initially cause dryness, peeling, redness, tightness or mild irritation. This is more likely if you introduce it too quickly.
Patch test before use and avoid applying to broken, irritated or freshly exfoliated skin.
Avoid layering on the same evening with strong exfoliating acids, harsh scrubs, tretinoin, tazarotene or other retinoids unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.
Important Antibiotic Information
Faceclin AT contains Clindamycin 1%, a topical antibiotic. Antibiotic-containing acne treatments should generally be used for a limited treatment period rather than continuously long-term because inappropriate or prolonged use can contribute to antibiotic resistance.
🤰 Pregnancy
Do not use adapalene during pregnancy or when trying to conceive.
If breastfeeding, speak with a doctor or pharmacist before use and do not apply to the breast/chest area where an infant could come into contact with the product.
