FAQs

Neutrogena® Evenly Clear™ Retinoid Adapalene Gel delivers powerful acne clearing results in a formula made for everyday use. It’s made with adapalene 0.1%, a dermatologist recommended retinoid that was once available by prescription only. This once daily treatment clears acne, helps prevent future breakouts, and visible improvement in the appearance of post-acne marks— all in a lightweight, fragrance-free gel that fits easily into your skin care solutions.

Use Neutrogena® Evenly Clear™ Retinoid Adapalene Gel once a day, preferably at night:

  • Clean the skin gently and pat dry before applying the product

  • Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer. For example, if your acne is on the face, apply the product to the entire face.

  • Do not use more than one time a day

  • In the morning, always apply sunscreen, as retinoids can make skin more sensitive to the sun.

Yes. Neutrogena® Evenly Clear™ Retinoid Adapalene Gel is effective while still suitable for daily use on acne prone skin. When starting a retinoid, it’s normal for skin to feel dry or slightly irritated at first. Using a gentle cleanser and moisturizer can help skin adjust — and over time, skin typically feels more balanced.

Retinoids work gradually. You may start to notice clearer looking skin within the first few weeks, with continued improvement as you keep using it. With consistency, skin can look smoother, more even toned, and less prone to breakouts.

Yes. Neutrogena® Evenly Clear™ Retinoid Adapalene Gel is designed for once daily use. Using it consistently is key to seeing results. If your skin ever feels dry or sensitive, you can adjust how much moisturizer you use — or apply moisturizer before or after your retinoid — to keep skin comfortable.
