Hi I had blackheads on my face and small black spots on my nose . My doctor recommended Deriva MS gel . I have been using it for three mths now and it seems it works well . When i wanted to buy a new one yesterday my pharmacist did not have the Deriva MS 0.1 w/w/ in stock Instead he has Deriva 0.!% only currently . Pl explain the diffrence between Deriva MS w/w and Deriva 0.1%. Thanks

Hello,
Both medications you mention have the same active ingredient (adapalene) and they have the same percentage, 0.1%. Thus, you can use whichever you find of them as they should have the same medical effect.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
