"it&#039;s my fifth week on adapalene. my face has become more shiny and oily. acne has not fully cleared up. i&#039;m also using dermadew acne soap. all the acne scars are still on my cheeks. it has become more noticable. i&#039;m not sure about continuing the treatment. i have heard that it will take about 8 to 12 weeks for any change. i&#039;m gonna keep using this. but i&#039;m not sure whether i&#039;m applying the right amount. my dermatologist told me to apply a very little on the affected areas.."
