Acne-Lene 0.001 Cream

Acne-Lene 0.001 Cream contains Adapalene, a retinoid acne treatment. Made by Valor Pharmaceuticals, it is prescribed for acne, blackheads and whiteheads. Pack size: 15gm cream.

Uses of Acne-Lene 0.001 Cream

Acne-Lene 0.001 Cream gel or cream is used on the skin to treat mild to moderate acne, especially blackheads, whiteheads and small red spots. It is often combined with benzoyl peroxide or used alongside antibiotic treatment. Because it also helps prevent new spots from forming, it is usually continued for a few months, and acne may look slightly worse before it starts to improve.

How Acne-Lene 0.001 Cream works

Adapalene is a retinoid, related to vitamin A. It normalises the way skin cells grow and shed inside the hair follicles, which stops pores becoming blocked and forming blackheads and whiteheads. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect that helps calm red, swollen spots.

Possible side effects

Skin irritation is common with Acne-Lene 0.001 Cream, particularly in the first few weeks. You may notice:

• Dryness and peeling
• Redness
• Stinging or burning
• Itching
• Increased sensitivity to sunlight

Stop using it and see a doctor if you develop severe irritation, blistering, or swelling of the face, eyes or lips.

Precautions and warnings

• Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eyes, lips, inside of the nose and any cut, sunburnt or eczema-affected skin.
• Use a non-greasy moisturiser and a sunscreen daily, and avoid sunbeds.
• Avoid using other harsh or drying products, such as scrubs or alcohol-based toners, on the same area.
• Do not use it if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, and ask your doctor before using it while breastfeeding.
• It can take several weeks to see an improvement, so keep using it as advised before deciding whether it works.

Storage

Store below 30°C and keep the cap tightly closed. For external use only; avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is made for eye use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
