My skin absolutely hates it.
When I have tried adapalene multiple times in the past, my skin hates it. It gets so red, so angry, so frustrated.▶ 14:21–14:29
Please, patch test before you use it all over your face.▶ 14:43–14:49
The first time I used Adapalene and I applied it all over my face and the next week was brutal. So much pain. So much flakiness.▶ 14:47–14:54
Please be careful. Make sure you patch test, take it super slow, and absolutely use a sunscreen.▶ 15:27–15:33
