*by S***O on December 26, 2025*

This works just as well as name-brand adapalene at a much better price. The gel is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel greasy. After a few weeks of consistent use, my skin looked clearer and smoother. Minimal irritation when used correctly with moisturizer. Very happy with this product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After 4 days, your pores start to self extract LOL
*by K***. on January 29, 2026*

This gel is lightweight and doesn't feel sticky after applying it. I let it absorb into my skin for a few minutes, and then use a simple moisturizer on top. By day 4, I noticed that the sebum in my pores was visible to the naked eye. It's so gross but so satisfying. I'll use a small tweezer to pull them out. Highly recommend trying this product for clear skin.
