What is Adistar Gel 15gm?

Adistar Gel 15gm contains Adapalene, a topical retinoid used to treat acne. It works by expanding the turnover of skin cells, forestalling obstructed pores, and decreasing aggravation.

• Treats acne by reducing the formation of pimples and blackheads.
• Helps to clear up existing acne lesions and prevents new breakouts.
• Reduces inflammation and irritation associated with acne.
• Improves overall skin texture and appearance.
