It's one of the best adapalene gels I've ever tried.
Method & Progress: I started using this adapelene gel about a month ago. I had already been using retinol for about 2 years so my skin is used to it, but I still am only using this every other day without any other acids and always on top of a toner/serum so the adapalene doesn’t go on without some sort of barrier first. And always follow with a thick moisturizer. A few days in, my eyelids and neck were getting pretty sensitive, so I had to put extra moisturizer (I prefer oat-based cream that’s good for eczema or straight up vaseline) on those sensitive areas, and that helped to calm down the dryness and discomfort. The key is also to ALWAYS use sunscreen during the day when using adapalene or you will get rashes or irritation.
Results: I can now say that this stuff has basically gotten rid of the rest of my acne that didn’t go away with the birth control pill. The biggest difference I see is in the clogging rate of my pores - I have no blackheads or texture now. Secondly the hyperpigmentation goes away so much faster than with anything I’ve used so far - even my old retinol or any acids I was using. For ex. if I had a dark spot from acne that I had picked, normally it would take at least 1.5-2 months to fade away entirely, but now it takes about 3 weeks-1 month. I really don’t have to wear any make up now.
Verdict: Amazing buy if you struggle with acne, clogged pores, and/or hyperpigmentation. Use it right!!
For anyone new to retinoids, the key is to START SLOWLY. Depending on how sensitive your skin is, you may experience some initial itching/burning/peeling/etc. Some tips and tricks:
1. You only need a pea-size amount for the entire face and another pea-sized amount for the neck.
2. Apply only at NIGHT. Start off every other night or even just 1-2x a week. Slowly increase the frequency as your skin adjusts.
3. Apply to DRY skin.
4. Apply moisturizer first, then the adapalene to act as a buffer if your skin is sensitive. Use a thick moisturizing CREAM.
5. Wear sunscreen every day (of course)
6. Do NOT use in conjunction with other exfoliants, BHA's, salicylic acids, retinols/retinoids, etc. At least not at first, because it can be too irritating.
7. If you are using it to treat acne, it may cause an initial purging period. If your acne is more severe, you may need a stronger (aka prescription) retinoid, so go see a dermatologist.
If you have a reaction, stop using the adapalene until your skin calms down. You may need some OTC hydrocortisone 2.5% cream to help relieve any burning/peeling (don't use for more than a few days at a time). My skin was very sensitive so I started off applying just once a week over top of moisturizer, and still had a reaction every single time. However, my skin slowly started getting used to it and now I'm able to use it every single night!
