Clear Cream 15g (Adapalene) – Topical Retinoid for Acne Treatment
Clear Cream 15g contains Adapalene, a third-generation topical retinoid widely prescribed for the treatment of acne vulgaris, including blackheads (open comedones), whiteheads (closed comedones), inflammatory pimples, and clogged pores.
It is a dermatologist-recommended acne medication designed to improve skin texture, reduce breakouts, and prevent the formation of new acne lesions.
How Adapalene Works
Adapalene works by:
Modulating cellular keratinization (normalizing skin cell turnover)
Preventing clogged pores and comedone formation
Reducing inflammation associated with acne
Inhibiting lipoxygenase activity and oxidative metabolism of arachidonic acid
These anti-inflammatory and comedolytic properties help reduce acne lesions while generally causing less irritation compared to older retinoids.
Indications
Clear Cream is indicated for:
Mild to moderate acne vulgaris
Blackheads and whiteheads
Inflammatory acne (papules and pustules)
Oily and acne-prone skin
