Description

Acne-Lene (0.1%) Cream is a dermatological formulation containing Adapalene 0.1%, a third-generation retinoid that helps treat acne (pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads). It works by unclogging pores, reducing inflammation, and preventing new acne breakouts.

This lightweight, non-greasy topical cream promotes skin renewal and enhances overall texture, making the skin smoother and clearer over time. It is ideal for mild to moderate acne and suitable for oily and acne-prone skin types.
