Dettagli del medicinale

Descrizione

Differin Gel (Adapalene) è un trattamento topico altamente efficace specificamente progettato per combattere l'acne alla sua origine. Appartenente a un gruppo di medicinali chiamati retinoidi (derivati dalla Vitamina A), è particolarmente potente contro l'acne comedonica (punti neri e punti bianchi) e l'infiammazione da lieve a moderata.

A differenza degli antibiotici che uccidono i batteri, Differin agisce regolando il ricambio delle cellule della pelle. Normalizza il distacco delle cellule cutanee all'interno dei follicoli piliferi, prevenendo che pelle morta e sebo ostruiscano i pori. Questa azione esfoliante profonda non solo tratta le imperfezioni esistenti, ma aiuta anche a prevenire la formazione di nuove lesioni acneiche.

Ingredienti

The active substance is adapalene. Differin contains 0.1% w/w of adapalene and the other ingredients are carbomer 940, propylene glycol (E1520), poloxamer 182, disodium edetate, methylparahydroxybenzoate (E218), phenoxyethanol, sodium hydroxide and purified water.

Effetti collaterali

Irritation cutanée, rougeur, dessèchement, démangeaisons, pellicules, sensation de brûlure légère

Avvertenze

Le Benzoyl Peroxyde peut provoquer une irritation, une rougeur ou une sécheresse cutanée, surtout au début du traitement. Évitez de l’utiliser sur une peau irritée, coupée ou brûlée par le soleil. Ce produit peut également blanchir les tissus et les cheveux — manipulez-le avec soin.
N’utilisez pas d’autres traitements anti-acné agressifs simultanément sans avis médical, car cela peut accentuer l’irritation.
Consultez un professionnel de santé si les symptômes s’aggravent ou persistent après plusieurs semaines d’utilisation.

Domande Frequenti

Is it normal for my skin to feel irritated at first?

Yes, this is very common during the first few weeks. You may experience some redness, dryness, or a burning sensation as your skin adjusts to the retinoid. To reduce this, you can apply the gel every other night initially or use a moisturizer 30 minutes after application.

Why does my acne seem worse after starting?

This is often called "purging." Because Adapalene accelerates cell renewal, deep-seated impurities are brought to the surface faster, which may look like a breakout. This is a sign the medication is working and usually clears up within a few weeks.

Can I use this if I am pregnant?

No. The use of retinoids like Adapalene is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy to ensure the safety of the unborn child. If you are planning a pregnancy, stop using this medication.

Does this make my skin sensitive to the sun?

Yes, Adapalene makes your skin more sensitive to UV light. It is important to avoid excessive sun exposure and sunbeds, and to always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) during the day, even if it is cloudy.

Can I combine this with other acne products?

Be cautious with other drying products like alcohol-based toners or harsh scrubs, as this can cause severe irritation. If you want to use other active ingredients (like benzoyl peroxide), it is often advised to use them in the morning and apply Differin in the evening.
