TARO Ohm Adapalene 0.1% USP Gel, Paraben Free, Retinoid 1.6oz

I bought this when my 46 year old skin started breaking out terribly..like high school. My chin was the main problem. I did some research and perimenopause. I was unsure but decided to try this. I use it every night as directed and it started working within days. I had been so embarrassed and now have clear skin again. I have been using it for about 6 weeks or so and have had no breakouts. You just put it on like moisturizer in the areas you need it. Very easy. The tube lasts a long time; you only need a little bit. You definitely want to use an exfoliator while using this to get rid of the dead and dry skin. I’m using it every other night now. I use an oil free moisturizer when I have this on. Definitely use sunscreen when using this. I’m very satisfied with this product.

Adapalene has been a game changer for me. I have mature skin and don't have breakouts to speak of. I do--did--have some chicken-skin texture on my temples and under my chin. I have used retinols including tretinoin and salicylic and glycolic acids, mostly for wrinkles and some stubborn rosacea spots with good but not stellar results. One day, I watched a dermatologist's video on the best products for aging skin, and she recommended Adapalene followed by Am-Lactin. Ohhhh Myyy! It's not as irritating as some of the other products are to me. It's erasing my chicken skin bumps! I'm still waiting on some of the rosacea areas to calm down, but they are much better. I've begun using it on my neck and decolletage, but not every day. Amazing! I have been cautious and am alternating with skin barrier protection and moisturizers (and sunscreen!). I am so pleased with my results and the improved value with this combo vs. the other products I was using. As always, your mileage may vary. Start gently and see if you have found the right product for you.

This is a great product at a great price. You can definitely see the difference in your skin with regular use.

value for money

I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to come back and share my experience because I’m genuinely impressed with the difference in my skin. I started using this product consistently when I was dealing with active breakouts, inflammation, dark spots, and uneven texture on my cheeks and jawline. I took a ‘before’ picture so I could actually track my progress instead of relying on memory. After sticking with it, the improvement has been incredible. My skin looks much clearer and smoother, I’m getting fewer noticeable breakouts, and the marks left behind from previous acne have faded significantly. Even the overall tone and texture of my skin look so much better. I included my before-and-after photos because that’s what I personally look for when I’m reading skincare reviews. The first photo was taken when I started, and the second shows my skin now. Obviously everyone’s skin is different, but I’m extremely happy with my results.The biggest thing I’d recommend is consistency. This wasn’t an overnight transformation, but seeing the difference over time made it completely worth it. I finally feel confident about how my skin looks again. Definitely one of the better acne products I’ve tried

This product helped get my painful, tender acne on my cheeks and chin under control. 1.I had to build up my tolerance gradually, starting with 1–2 applications per week before increasing frequency. 2. I only use it at night (photosensitivity) and always follow with a moisturizer. You might see dry, flaky patches of skin as you build up tolerance. 3. As an added bonus, this version costs less than the name-brand version. I’ve seen significant improvement in active breakouts, though I’m still working on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from previous acne. Overall, it’s been effective for managing my acne and preventing new blemishes.

The product arrived in good time and the packaging was all good. I read many other reviewers say that they received a much smaller tube than they were expecting. I don't know what they were expecting but the sizing was clearly marked in the product info and I received exactly what I was expecting. I'm new to retinoid's, but after having done extensive research I found adapalene gel is the best you can get without a prescription. You do have to be careful to not overuse this product or you will have burns! Since I started using it just three days a week instead of every other day and amped up my moisturizer game I've had no more issues. It is essential you use a sunscreen with this in the daytime and I use a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid as needed. I have pretty sensitive skin and am very prone to breakouts but I've had no troubles so far. I've only been using it about a month so I can't actually see any results as of yet but only time will tell. I will try to update if possible with photos in a few months with before and afters. Also with Summer coming, we'll see how well it holds up in all the sun! I did get a pretty bad burn initially around my eyes, you have to apply it lightly around your eyes and I do NOT recommend using the Vaseline trick as this stuff is meant to absorb naturally. Too much saturation WILL cause your skin to burn and crack! It feels like the worst sunburn you've ever had but crispier. It is not pleasant. A couple days of coating on hyaluronic acid moisturizer though gave me much needed relief and took care of the problem. Most dermatologists recommend you only need three things for perfect skin, a good retinoid, SPF, and moisturizer. This is a much more affordable option than the name brand and see absolutely no reason why it shouldn't work just as well. A little goes a long way and it doesn't leave any greasy residue. It is recommended you don't use it straight out of the shower or right after washing your face as it absorbs too quickly that way. So wait a few minutes after washing your face to apply it, go easy around the eyes as the skin is much thinner there, and then wait another ten to fifteen minutes and generously apply some moisturizer. Follow these steps and use this product conscientiously and you should have no problems.

Worked for me.

I have used many creams, but this cream is very different and I am very satisfied.
