Topical use. Adapalene 0.1% (OTC) or 0.3% (prescription) gel/cream is applied as a thin layer to the whole affected area once daily, usually at night, starting every other day and building to nightly as tolerated. Full benefit takes ~8-12 weeks. There is no oral or systemic dose — it is not ingested. It is most effective combined with benzoyl peroxide. This library does not provide an ingestion protocol.

Evening

Adapalene 0.1% gel/cream (OTC), applied nightly to the whole area

Topical cosmetic only. HA serums are applied to clean, slightly damp skin once or twice daily and sealed with a moisturizer to hold water in (in very dry air, HA applied to dry skin can draw moisture outward). There is no oral, injectable, or systemic dose in this cosmetic context. This library does not provide an ingestion protocol.
