"i&#039;ve always had really mild breakouts ever since college started, but i gradually lost them through clearasil and st. ives. but now that i&#039;m in my junior year, i&#039;m breaking out twice as much. my dermatologist prescribed me differin (0.01 cream adapalene), and it was quite pricey because i was taking it alongside clindamycin, which i only put on my pimples whereas i used a pea-sized amount of differin on my entire face. i&#039;m currently on my third day of differin and clindamycin, and i have been experiencing skin peelings on my nose and a little bit of redness and tenderness. there have been more breakouts (i now have 6 pimples), and i hope it gets worse before it gets better now that it&#039;s still holiday break."
