happygalselfcare review for Adapalene Gel 0.1% Acne Treatment

Almost cleared my hormonal acne! Also changed mt complexion to be more glowy and smooth. This is a long detailed review so I’ll just get to it. I had hormonal whiteheads all around my jawline as a result of being off my birth control temporarily. Even after getting back on, I was still getting acne all over my jawline. I have tried every combination of products and I honestly was ready to see a derm but couldn’t really afford it. I learned that some dermatologists can reccomend differin as an OTC treatment for acne and I didn’t know if it would work for me HOWEVER I wanted to try it anyways because I would have hated to show up to the derm and be sent away with instructions for OTC differin that I could have gotten without the appointment. I purged for about 10 weeks, and had light irritation that subsided with the purging. I used no other actives until 12 weeks was up and irritation was gone. The blackheads on my nose disappeared and my skin was brighter which was just an added bonus because all I wanted was to stop breaking out! In the last 4 months of use I have seen great improvement. I still get occasional pimples and I am starting to add other actives into my routine but it is nothing like it was before.
