The Claim
Adapalene reduces signs of skin aging with comparable effectiveness to tretinoin.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Adapalene and tretinoin produce similar reductions in visible signs of skin aging.
See the scientific wording
Adapalene reduces signs of skin aging with comparable effectiveness to tretinoin.
Adapalene and tretinoin bind to the same receptors in skin cells, which turns on genes that make more collagen and turn off enzymes that break down skin structure, leading to firmer, smoother skin.
