Adaklin, cream 1 mg/g 30 g

Adaklin is a drug for external use. Adapalene is a metabolite of retinoid, has a comedolytic and anti-inflammatory effect, normalizes the processes of keratinization and epidermal differentiation. The mechanism of action of adapalene is based on interaction with specific gamma-receptors of epidermal skin cells.

As a result of the action of adapalene, in particular, the “adhesion” of epithelial cells at the mouth of the follicle and the reduction of preconditions for the formation of microcomedones. Adapalene has an anti-inflammatory effect in vitro and in vivo, affecting inflammatory factors by inhibiting the migration of leukocytes in the inflammation focus and metabolism of arachidonic acid.
