thecurlymess review for Adapalene Gel 0.1% Acne Treatment

Lets start with the size of the bottle.Its tiny compared to the box it comes in.But considering that u should only use a pea sized amount and not more, the size is ok and will last u for more than a month.This is my first experience with retionols/retinoids.I suffer from mild acne and wanted to use something stronger than ur average salicylic acid.I first started using this daily but noticed it was too strong for my face so I started applying it after my moisturizer daily. Still too strong so I started applying it at night on a clean face every 4-5 days and then applying my moisturizer. It does cause some peeling and flaking so be generous with ur moisturizer.It definitely works but it needs patience. Experts say you will see strong results after 3 months of using it. I am seeing slow but consistent results. AVOID using any other actives (AHA, BHA, vitamin c) while using differin as that will only irritate your skin. I would recommend this but be PATIENT.
