Adainzoxia Gel

Adainzoxia Gel is a customized prescription topical gel dedicated to targeting acne concerns by combining three active ingredients that work to target acne vulgaris at its source. This tailored formulation addresses acne by altering cell turnover, cleaning the pores, decreasing bacteria, drying the skin, reducing inflammation, and strengthening the skin barrier, creating a clinical difference for each patient, as determined by the prescriber.

Adainzoxia Gel contains a unique combination of three active ingredients designed to meet the individual acne needs of each patient. These active ingredients include:

• Adapalene is a topical retinoid that aims to treat acne vulgaris by altering the speed of cell turnover and keeping the pores clean.

  • This particular gel contains adapelene at a potency of 0.3%.

• Benzoyl peroxide is a topical antiseptic often prescribed for its ability to reduce the bacteria on the skin. It works to treat mild to moderate acne, aiming to dry the skin and eliminate pimples.

  • This particular gel contains benzoyl peroxide at a potency of 2.5%.

• Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 commonly employed to reduce inflammation, which is a key acne symptom. As an active ingredient, it works to minimize redness, even out skin tone, and regulate the skin’s oil production. Niacinamide is often used to target acne, eczema, skin discoloration, and more.

  • This particular gel contains niacinamide at a potency of 4%.

One factor that makes Adainzoxia Gel clinically different from branded or generic medications is the combination of these three topical ingredients.

This topical gel is also distinct from over-the-counter medications because SKNV’s Adainzoxia Gel is formulated without certain inactive ingredients that could be potential allergens or irritants for certain patients, as determined by the patient’s prescriber, including methylparaben, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and silicon dioxide.

All patients should apply Adainzoxia Gel in accordance with the exact directions from their provider and the patient information leaflet that comes with the prescription. This formulation is designed for external use only and should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place.

Often, prescribers recommend applying a thin layer of the topical gel on the acne-affected area of the skin, ensuring that the area is clean and dry. These topical application instructions and their frequency vary based on each patient, their age, and their acne, but it usually involves topical use once or twice a day.

It is optimal to maintain a regular dosing schedule with your prescription gel. If you realize that you missed a dose and you are close to applying the topical gel again, skip the missed dose and apply the gel as normal. Patients should not apply extra layers to make up for the missed dose.

Additionally, patients should wash their hands before and directly after Adainzoxia Gel application. While applying on a treated area, it is best to avoid the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. Avoid contact with a sunburn, blister, or open wound. A healthcare provider may instruct a patient to wash their face with non-abrasive soaps or cleansers before using the gel as well.

It is common for prescribing physicians to advise the use of moisturizers, creams, or lotions in a skincare routine to counteract dry skin and prevent peeling and redness. Because of potential sensitivity, dermatologists also often recommend that patients implement sunscreen for regular use, wear protective clothing, and stray away from using tanning beds and sunlamps to avoid sun exposure.

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience an allergic reaction (e.g., skin irritation, discomfort, redness, dryness, itchiness, peeling, swelling, sunburned skin, etc.) or if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using your prescription.

Patients should tell their healthcare provider about any other drugs or medications (for acne or other skin conditions), skincare products, or supplements that they are using concurrently with Adainzoxia Gel. In order to prevent potential drug interactions, doctors should note other topical acne treatments (e.g., other retinoids) and oral medicines. It is imperative that patients follow their prescriber’s instrctuons regarding Adainzoxia Gel use.
