Adcon Gel contains Adapalene (man-made vitamin A) used to treat acne (pimples). Adcon Gel loosens the cells on the skin’s surface and unblocks pores by reducing the production of oil in the skin. Thereby, decreases pimples, spots, whiteheads, and blackheads. Also, Adcon Gel increases the production of new skin cells and helps in natural exfoliation (removal of dead skin cells) of outer layers of the skin. Adcon Gel has an anti-inflammatory effect and thus reduces irritation and soreness.
