"i have had mod acne since i was 12.  i have tried all over the counter stuff and oral antibiotics.  nothing ever worked well.  after a month on adapalene i have noticed a nice difference in my skin.  i have had very mild flaking, but no burning on the .01%.  so far i have not had a huge breakout from it as some have reported.  my skin looks the best it has in years.  i hope it stays this way.  some of the scarring has improved, but not gone completely.  so far love this product and wish i had tried it sooner.  i was terrified after some of the reviews i read.  my co worker recommended i used it on one cheek for awhile to see how my skin reacted.  might be a good way to start for some."
