Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)
Adapalene
Topical Retinoid
A third-generation retinoid used primarily to treat acne vulgaris. It selectively binds to retinoic acid receptors ($\text{RARs}$), which regulates cell differentiation, keratinization, and inflammation. Compared to older retinoids like tretinoin, it is often better tolerated due to its higher receptor selectivity.
