About Deriva Aqueous Gel 0.1%
Deriva Aqueous Gel is a Glenmark topical gel with adapalene 0.1% as its active ingredient. Adapalene belongs to the retinoid group and is commonly used for acne. This pack contains a 15 gm tube, a practical size for a first purchase or for a targeted routine.
The “aqueous” gel base is water-based, so it is generally applied as a thin, light layer rather than a rich cream. It is the standard Deriva gel, which is a different product from Deriva MS (a microsphere formulation) and Deriva-CMS (which also contains clindamycin).
How to use
Directions on the pack or from your doctor always come first. As a general guide from reliable product information:
- Cleanse the skin with a mild cleanser and pat dry completely.
- Apply a thin layer to the affected areas, usually once daily in the evening.
- Avoid the eyes, lips, corners of the nose and mouth, and broken skin.
- Wash your hands after application.
- Use a moisturiser if the skin feels dry, and apply sunscreen during the day.
A little goes a long way. Using more does not speed up results and can increase irritation.
Who may consider it
Adults and teenagers with acne-prone skin whose doctor or pharmacist has recommended a topical adapalene, or people continuing a routine they already know. If you are new to retinoids, have sensitive skin, or are unsure about the right strength, speak to a doctor or pharmacist first.
Storage
Store in the original tube and carton, tightly closed, away from heat and direct sunlight, and out of reach of children. Follow the storage temperature printed on the pack.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use Deriva Aqueous Gel?
Generally, a thin layer is applied to clean, dry skin once daily in the evening, or as directed by your doctor. Avoid eyes, lips and broken skin, and use sunscreen in the daytime.
What is the difference between Deriva Aqueous Gel and Deriva MS?
Both contain adapalene 0.1% from Glenmark, but they are different formulations. Deriva MS uses a microsphere formulation. Check the pack name to make sure you are ordering the one your doctor recommended.
Can I use it during the day?
Adapalene is usually applied in the evening, and it can make skin more sun-sensitive. If you use it, apply sunscreen every morning.
