its been 1.5 weeks since ive started adapalene and 5% BP but i had to drop my bp bc it gave me burns and im positive that im allergic (like the rest of the population) adapalene works great tho i havent purged yet and i dont think i will yet adapalene need abt 60-90 days for results (like every other derma) yet its getting better already, also if you got any tips or recommendations for mild/any hormonal acne (as pharma products) ill look into it and it would be a nice help.

What’s BP?

I would continue using adapalene (which is just differn right?? I think it is anyways) or some other retinol. If your acne is crippling the way you look, or the way you think you look, I would strongly consider accutane.

benzoyl peroxide
honestly im new to derma and my acne is mild and getting better im having hopes differin will work out if it doesnt ill start tret and if it doesnt go away (highly doubtful bc of my stage and strengh of acne is low) then ill look into accutane, but my voices are telling me that all roads lead to accutane so yeah we never know

As my dermatologist said

Accutane is the only true solution for acne
