"i had moderate-severe acne when i hit 21. it was a very tormenting stage for me, having this kind of acne. i can&#039;t go outdoors without wearing foundation/concealer to cover up redness. my self confidence was low. finally, i went to the dermatologist, she prescribed oral and topical treatment. i stopped taking oral antibiotics because i read that it&#039;s not good for the body. so i only maintained adapalene ge. i think adapalene helps a lot because it minimized the growth of occurring acne as well as clearing my skin. i use bp sparingly to avoid irritation and rash. though, adapalene slowly works and it takes months to see improvements, i didn&#039;t experience flaking or stinging from it. i hope to see more improvements on my face while on it."
