Does Retino A And Adaferin Gel Help To Clear Acne And Scars?
hello sir.. i have a few pimples on my face like 2-3 on both the sides of my face. The pimples have reduced a lot but i have a little scar left due to the pimple. I was suggested retino a and adaferin gel to be used alternatively for a few days. Do you think this would help in clearing out the acne and scars?

Hello
Yes these work well against acne.
Retino a is retinoid a vitamin A analogue which regularizes the sebaceous gland epithelium and prevent acne formation.
Adaferin gel is also a retinoid analogue.
Both are effective however both are not used together.
Better use either of these daily.
I suggest adaferin.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
