Differin .01% Adapalene Cream.

I don't have any problems right now except for one thing,

ACNE.

I went to the derma last month and Prescribed me a Retinoid "Differin: .01% Adapalene Cream", 

I was hesitant on using it because the Dermatologist said that my Acne would become worse before it gets better, and it takes atleast 5 weeks before the medicine kicks in. I didn't want to get worse. but eventually, I tried it.

The first week was fine. The medicine induced redness on my cheeks. but other than that, i was feeling normal. It seems like it wasn't effective, my acne was still there. The second week was HELL. My face Peeled everywhere, everything I put on, Stings and burns! There was still no improvement on my acne. Third week still killed me. It got to the point where my Acne was worse than before I started the Medication. Fourth week my face calmed. 

I am currently on the end of my fourth week. No burning, peeling, breakouts whatsoever, but the marks that my third week has left is still there. I'm currently planning on taking the medication for atleast 12 weeks, still hoping that I'll get that clear skin I used to have. 

Lesson: Do not apply anything not prescribed by a doctor, on your skin.
