Adapalene topical (for use on the skin) is used to treat severe acne in people who are at least 12 years old. Adapalene is a topical medicine used in the treatment of acne (a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles are plugged with excess oil or dead skin cells) of the face, chest, or back. It works by preventing the accumulation of natural oil and helps in exfoliation. It also decreases the number and severity of acne breakouts.
