Aknelac cream contains adapalene as an active substance, which acts similarly to retinoids (a group of potent drugs used to treat skin conditions).
When applied topically, adapalene helps normalize epidermal keratinization and differentiation, prevents acne formation, and reduces inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules).
It has a stronger anti-inflammatory effect than conventional retinoids.
