"i am 18. before i started using adapalene (differin)i used to have a lot of medium sized pimples on my forehead and occasionally on my cheeks. after starting this and mino pills about 2 months ago, my acne started to get worse and worse to the point where i started to question whether this treatment helped at all. my breakouts got worse until about 2 weeks ago when all of my pimples seemingly disappeared overnight. i now have the occasional pimple, but my skin looks so much better! no side effects, either. i use purity made simple for washing my face, and at night i apply a thin layer of adapalene (.1%) and then the differin brand moisturizer, and frankincense essential oil for my red marks. my skin is so much better!"
