PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT
Means for external use.
Adapalene is a metabolite of retinoid, has a comedonolytic and anti-inflammatory effect, normalizes the processes of keratinization and epidermal differentiation.
The mechanism of action of adapalene is based on the interaction with specific ОІ-receptors of epidermal skin cells.
As a result of the action of adapalene, in particular, the "cohesion" of epithelial cells in the mouth of the sebaceous-hair follicle decreases and the preconditions for the formation of micro-comedones decrease.
Adapalene has an anti-inflammatory effect in vitro and in vivo, affecting inflammatory factors by inhibiting the migration of leukocytes in the focus of inflammation and the metabolism of arachidonic acid.
