Can swallowing a little bit of adapalene cause any problems? I am using adapalene 0.1% gel for acne and I want to ask that is there any problem if I swallow a little amount unknowingly while washing my face? Or if some amount goes in my eyes? Can it cause any problems?

If swallowed once by mistake it shouldn’t be a problem, avoid swallowing it frequently. If it goes into your eyes, it can lead to irritation and redness. Avoid applying it around the eye or mouth area.
