Detalhes do medicamento

Descrição

Differin Gel (Adapaleno) é um tratamento tópico altamente eficaz, especificamente desenvolvido para combater a acne em sua origem. Pertencente a um grupo de medicamentos chamados retinoides (derivados da Vitamina A), é particularmente potente contra acne comedonal (cravos e espinhas) e inflamação leve a moderada.

Ao contrário dos antibióticos que matam bactérias, o Differin atua regulando a renovação das células da pele. Ele normaliza a descamação das células da pele dentro dos folículos capilares, prevenindo que células mortas e óleo obstruam os poros. Essa ação esfoliante profunda não apenas trata as lesões existentes, mas também ajuda a impedir a formação de novas lesões de acne.

Ingredientes

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.

Efeitos colaterais

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

Avisos

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.

Perguntas Frequentes

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.
