Adapalene is a topical retinoid used for the treatment of acne vulgaris. It works by modulating cell differentiation and keratinization, helping to prevent comedone formation. It has anti-inflammatory properties and is less irritating than older retinoids like tretinoin. Adapalene is available over-the-counter in many countries.
