FAQs About ADISTAR GEL

Q: Can ADISTAR GEL be used in the morning?

A: Apply ADISTAR GEL as advised by your physician. It is best when applied at night and washed off in the morning since it is sensitive to sunlight. Consult your doctor for further queries.

Q: Can ADISTAR GEL cause skin irritation?

A: ADISTAR GEL may cause slight sensation of warmth and stinging after applying it for the initial 2-4 weeks. However, during the long-term usage this side effect usually disappears. Consult your doctor in case of any queries.

Q: Can ADISTAR GEL be used daily?

A: In many cases, ADISTAR GEL products are initially used once daily in the evening. However, some individuals may be advised to start with less frequent applications to allow the skin to adjust, and then gradually increase the frequency.

Q: Can ADISTAR GEL make skin darker?

A: ADISTAR GEL doesn’t make skin darker. Instead, it can slightly make the skin lighter by healing acne, pimples, blackheads and spots. Consult your doctor for further queries.

Q: Can I go outside after applying ADISTAR GEL?

A: No, avoid going out after applying ADISTAR GEL as it can cause local irritation and skin discomfort. It is best used at night. Consult the doctor for further assistance.

Q: Can ADISTAR GEL be used for other skin conditions?

A: ADISTAR GEL is primarily indicated for acne, but it may also be used off-label to manage other skin conditions such as keratosis pilaris (a common, harmless skin condition characterized by small, rough bumps on the skin).

Q: Can ADISTAR GEL be used with other acne medications?

A: It's generally not recommended to use ADISTAR GEL with other topical acne medications containing benzoyl peroxide, sulphur, resorcinol, or salicylic acid, as they may increase the risk of skin irritation. However, your healthcare provider may prescribe a combination regimen if deemed appropriate.

Q: Can ADISTAR GEL be applied under makeup or moisturizers?

A: Yes, ADISTAR GEL can be applied under makeup or moisturizers once it has been fully absorbed into the skin. It's important to allow the gel to dry completely before applying any other skincare products to avoid potential interactions or reduced effectiveness.

Q: Can ADISTAR GEL be used for acne scars?

A: ADISTAR GEL is primarily indicated for the management of acne lesions and may help improve the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots) caused by acne. However, it may have limited efficacy in managing deeper acne scars or pitted scars. Consult your healthcare provider for more information.

Q: Can ADISTAR GEL be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

A: It's important to consult your healthcare provider before using ADISTAR GEL if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. While topical retinoids are generally considered safe during pregnancy, it's best to discuss the potential risks and benefits with your doctor.
