Adapalene gel 0.1 gel primarily treats acne by reducing inflammation and preventing new acne formation through skin cell turnover. While it can improve skin texture and reduce acne-related hyperpigmentation over time, its direct effect on dark spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) varies. Adapalene gel 0.1 acne treatment accelerates skin cell turnover, which may help fade dark spots gradually, but it's not specifically formulated for this purpose. For effective treatment of dark spots, combination with other skincare ingredients like hydroquinone or alpha hydroxy acids, alongside sun protection, is often recommended. Consulting with a dermatologist ensures tailored advice for managing dark spots and achieving clearer skin effectively.
