Product Details

§ Overview

Product Overview

Adapen Gel is a topical gel containing Adapalene 0.1% w/w (15 gm tube), a third-generation topical retinoid. It is a generic equivalent of Differin and is used in the treatment of acne vulgaris.

§ Mechanism of Action

How It Works

Adapalene binds selectively to retinoic acid receptors (RAR-β and RAR-γ) in skin cells, normalizing follicular keratinization, reducing comedone formation, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects. It is less irritating than tretinoin.

Common questions

Quick answers for the things people most often ask before ordering.

Is Differin Generic - Adapen Gel (Adapalene) the same as Differin?+

Differin Generic - Adapen Gel (Adapalene) contains the same active ingredient (Adapalene) as Differin. It is manufactured in India by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd under WHO-GMP standards, which means the molecule and pharmacological behavior are bioequivalent to the brand-name version. The price difference reflects manufacturing scale and the absence of patent rent and direct-to-consumer marketing — not lower quality.

Can I legally import Differin Generic - Adapen Gel (Adapalene) for personal use?+

Many Western jurisdictions permit personal importation of unapproved foreign medications under enforcement-discretion frameworks — the US FDA typically interprets this as a 90-day supply, with similar windows in Canada, the UK, the EU, and Australia. We do not provide legal advice. See our Import Legality policy for country-specific guidance, and confirm your own jurisdiction's rules before ordering.

How is Differin Generic - Adapen Gel (Adapalene) shipped?+

Direct from licensed Indian suppliers via India Post International (registered/tracked) or DHL Express, depending on destination. Transit typically runs 2–3 weeks to most Western destinations. A tracking number is issued once the parcel is dispatched and the carrier has scanned it.

Why does LiberaCure only accept cryptocurrency?+

Card processors decline most international generic-pharmacy charges, so we route payment through NOWPayments (LTC, BTC, USDT-TRC20, XMR). Crypto sidesteps the processor block and gives you transactional privacy — your bank statement won't list the order. We do not store payment information.

Do you require a prescription?+

We don't ask for one. The supplying Indian pharmacy operates under Indian regulation and dispenses on its own authority. You are responsible for confirming the medication is legal for personal import in your country and for using it safely. We don't provide medical advice — we are routers, not pharmacists.
