Differin® (adapalene topical)

A one-page care plan for patients taking Differin® (adapalene topical), covering Purpose, Prevention & Protection, Expectations & Execution, Nutrition & Next Steps, Consistency, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.

In this plan

  1. Purpose, Prevention & Protection

    • I know adapalene is a retinoid that clears clogged pores and helps prevent new pimples
    • I spread it over the whole acne-prone area because it is not only a spot treatment
    • I know my acne may look worse at first and steady improvement may take 8–12 weeks
    • I tell my provider about eczema, sunburn, sensitive skin, pregnancy, or breastfeeding
