just keep using adapalene bc ur still purging, at least till like week 12-13. if it’s still not clearing up by then, then u can switch to tret. imo u could add 2.5% BPO w ur adapalene in the morning to help clear the acne + calm the inflammation faster. also don’t use anything w BHA/AHA rn if u don’t want ur skin getting irritated n making it worse tbh
