• Helps clear clogged pores and prevent formation of new acne lesions by normalising keratinisation.
• Reduces inflammation and redness associated with acne via retinoid action.
• Improves skin texture and tone, promoting smoother, healthier-looking skin.
• Suitable option for users who have not responded well to lower-strength retinoids or topical antibiotics.
• Under continued use, supports long-term acne control and may reduce scarring/lesion recurrence risk when combined with a good skincare regimen.

1. Wash your face with a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser and pat dry thoroughly.
2. At night (when skin is dry), apply a pea-sized amount of Adapco Forte Gel to the entire affected area (eg cheeks, forehead, chin) unless your dermatologist instructs spot-use only.
3. Follow with a non-comedogenic moisturiser if your skin is prone to dryness or irritation—this can improve tolerability.
4. In the morning, cleanse and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoid prolonged sun exposure.
5. Continue nightly use for at least 8-12 weeks (or as prescribed) before assessing full benefit; some improvement may be seen earlier, but consistent long-term use is key.

1. What types of acne is this gel suitable for?
It is indicated for mild-to-moderate acne including comedonal (blackheads/whiteheads) and inflammatory lesions in patients whose skin has tolerated retinoids but needs stronger action.

2. When will I start to see results?
Initial improvements (reduced new lesions, smoother skin) may appear within 4–6 weeks; full results often require 8–12 weeks or more of consistent use.

3. Can I use this gel on my body (back/chest) as well as face?
Yes—though it is more commonly used on facial acne, it may be applied to back/chest under specialist guidance if acne-prone.

4. Are side-effects common?
Yes—mild skin irritation, dryness, peeling, redness and increased sun sensitivity are common especially in the early weeks of use. If severe, consult your dermatologist.

5. What happens if I stop using it?
Stopping may lead to recurrence of acne lesions; maintaining a skin care routine including cleansers, moisturisers, sun protection and occasional retinoid use can help prolong results.

• For external use only. Avoid damaged, sunburned or recently waxed skin when applying.
• Avoid contact with eyes, lips, nostrils and mucous membranes; if contact occurs rinse thoroughly with water.
• Because retinoids increase photosensitivity, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily and minimise sun exposure.
• Use of other strong exfoliants (eg. AHAs/BHAs) or physical scrubs concurrently may increase irritation—consult your dermatologist.
• If pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or breastfeeding, seek medical advice before use. (Safety in these conditions may be limited.)
• Store at room temperature, protect from excessive heat or light, and keep out of reach of children.
