Acnedap Plus Gel is applied topically.

Acnedap Plus Gel contains two active ingredients:

• Adapalene (0.1 %): It is in a class of medications called retinoid-like compounds. It binds to specific retinoic acid receptors (RARs) in your skin cells. These receptors play an important role in regulating cell growth. By binding to RARs, adapalene normalises cell differentiation, reduces inflammation, and decreases excessive keratinization (a process where skin cells become filled with keratin protein) that can block pores.

• Dapsone (5 %): It is a sulfone antibiotic. This component has anti-inflammatory effects by suppressing the activity of neutrophils, a type of white blood cells that can cause inflammation when overactive. In addition, dapsone exhibits antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes, a bacteria linked with acne development.

• Keep Acnedap Plus Gel at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Always store the gel in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.

• Ensure the tube is tightly closed when not in use to prevent exposure to air.

• Keep Acnedap Plus Gel out of reach of children.

• Make sure you use this medication before its expiry date for optimal effectiveness.

• For the management of acne, maintain a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables and lean proteins; these foods supply essential nutrients for skin health and can aid in the healing process.

• Regularly clean your face with a gentle cleanser to remove excess oil and impurities that can clog pores and worsen acne. Be sure not to scrub too hard as this can irritate the skin and exacerbate acne.
