    Differin/ Adapalene gel

    Hi! Thank you for your dedication to educating mothers! I've read the posts on tretinoin/retin-A etc and that it is deemed safe for breastfeeding, but have not seen any specifically on the retinoid Adapalene 0.1% gel. I'm currently breastfeeding a 2.5 year old. Thanks!

    "Adapalene is virtually unabsorbed when applied topically to the skin. Plasma levels are almost undetectable (<0.25 mg/mL plasma), so milk levels would be infinitesimally low and probably undetectable." (Medications and Mothers' Milk database, Dr Thomas Hale PhD)
