Acne

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

Adnin-B Gel is a combination of two medicines: Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide, which treat acne (pimples). Adapalene is a form of vitamin A, and Benzoyl Peroxide is a keratolytic medicine. Together, they prevent the accumulation of sebum (skin’s natural oil), unblock the pores, and allow natural exfoliation of the outer layers of the skin. Benzoyl Peroxide additionally penetrates the skin and kills acne-causing bacteria.

Q: What if you forget to take Adnin-B Gel?
A: If you miss a dose of Adnin-B Gel, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Apply it to the affected area once a day at bedtime.

Adnin-B Gel can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Apply sunscreen or wear protective clothing while stepping out.

Avoid getting it in your eyes or mouth. If this happens, rinse with water immediately.

Do not apply to broken, sunburnt, or sensitive areas of skin. Inform your doctor if you notice unusual dryness, redness, and peeling of the skin.

Be careful when applying Adnin-B Gel to large areas since it can bleach hair, clothing, and furnishings upon contact.

Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Q. Can I use Adnin-B Gel as a spot treatment (single pimple)?

It is not used for spot treatment and should not be used to treat a single pimple. Adnin-B Gel should be applied to the entire face. Using it once daily can help treat your acne.

Q. How long does Adnin-B Gel take to work?

It may take up to 2-3 weeks before your symptoms improve. Adnin-B Gel may take some time to deliver significant results. Use the medicine as directed and tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they get worse.

In Acne

Adnin-B Gel helps treat acne by reducing the production of excessive oil in the skin. This helps keep your pores open and prevent further acne breakouts. It helps reduce redness and swelling around acne and promotes healing. It also helps reduce acne blemishes and gives you a smoother-looking skin. Adnin-B Gel usually takes a few weeks to have a noticeable effect so keep using it even if it appears not to be working. This medicine will help improve your mood and uplift your confidence as acne reduces.
