Brief Answer: Adapalene Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. Do apply Adapalene ointment twice daily. This will help to prevent acne and scars. Do not stop any medication suddenly, this may lead to recurrence of the lesions. Stop slowly, use alternate days followed by twice in a week and then stop it. Regards,
