Help treat acne with Neutrogena 0.1% Adapalene Gel Acne Treatment. Designed for acne prone skin, this adapalene gel acne treatment contains 0.1% adapalene, a topical retinoid previously available only by prescription.

Adapalene helps regulate skin cell turnover to keep pores from clogging and acts as an anti-inflammatory agent to reduce acne redness and swelling at the source. This once-daily acne treatment is dermatologist developed and tested. It also clears and prevents acne breakouts, blackheads, whiteheads and clogged pores.
