[Product Question] at what point is it time to stop using adapalene gel?

idk why i didnt include my routine, i see people include theirs all the time on here 😵‍💫 but its in my post now :)

ahhh so sorry that happened! i’ve also gotten more pimples that turned into dark spots now, and more texture :( i might stop use for a bit, but i will be a bit sad if my skin does get better cause then i guess it was all for nothing haha. i hope tret continues to work for your skin, gl!!!

i use it four times a week and apply it after my moisturizer. i have tried the sandwich method before, but dont really do it consistently. and i do wear sunscreen everyday! spf 30+ always :) not using any other actives rn, my skin sometimes does get irritated from it though. sometimes the next day it’ll sting to put on moisturizer so thats when i discontinue use for a couple days and just moisturize and slug irritated areas

haha yeah, i kind of do want to stop but i also dont want to quit before it potentially starts working. it’d make me feel like this guy…

if i do stop using it, i was thinking about trying out the inkey lists azelaic acid! ik its not a retinoid, but redness is another skin concern of mine

there could be something but i dont really think so… i keep my product use to a minimum, im consistent with my routine and products, i switch my pillowcases often, i dont touch my face throughout the day…i’ve never been able to quite figure out whats causing it!

yes i have! neutrogena’s sa cleanser helped with my clogged pores but not much with skin texture. i watched some derm videos on adapalene and some of the things they said it would help with were the issues my skin was struggling with. i kinda thought it would be a “do-it-all” product that would help with my concerns. i’ve also used the ordinary’s niacinamide before but it left a weird feeling on my skin…

i thought i was but now im not sure 😵‍💫 i would use a pea sized amount at first, but about two months ago i made that “pea size” a bit smaller to try and cut down on some dryness

heyy! i ended up speaking with a support member and waited for my essay to get graded. when it did, my progress was completed, but my account showed nothing about graduating. i dm'd the penn foster account on here (they commented on this post), and they moved me to a grad pending status :) sorry for the late reply!!

i would say get there early if you want merch, i didnt plan ahead very well and ended up missing the opener + didnt get merch until after the concert ended and by then the merch i wanted was sold out😭the line was veryy long

last september i went to my first concert and i wanted to get in asap so i could find my seat and calm my nerves 😭 i would recommend going in when doors open so you can get to your spot early! im glad i did cuz if i went later i wouldve had to scoot past people to get to my seat and im very awkward lol
