After not being able to use the prescription retinoid I had because it was too strong for my skin (my sister sent the wrong strength) I got interested in using adapalene again and @cassandrabankson sold me in this one as is a few dollars less than the popular differin.
I started having a long purging period after starting this treatment I started breaking out like crazy but I am not sure if it was this or the fresh rose cream I was using (which I suspect it was a little bit of purging and a lot of that cream). But, I was also alternating this with the La Roche Posay Retinol B3 and as I stopped using that and concentrating in the adapalene my skin was improving slowly but I cut back on a lot of irritation at the beginning by using it every other day.
As you can see I use this whole tube in two months (usually lasts you a month but since I wasn’t using it everyday). Now that I’ve been using Adapalene for a month straight I have seen a lot more improvement on my breakouts. Adapalene has worked for me in the past. I couldn’t expect more but good things out this active. I will from now continue on using Adapalene in my nighttime routine.
