acne
"I have been taking adapalene for just over 3months now. I was very wary about starting having read a lot of negative reviews of it online, which focus a lot on the breakthrough stage of the medicine. This is something that I definitely experienced myself, with my acne worsening at first (for me this lasted 3-4weeks though for some it seems a lot shorter - more like 1-2weeks). This was a really uncomfortable period of time, in which I felt very self-conscious (even more so than before). However, IT WAS DEFINITELY WORTH IT. 3mnths in and my skin is acne FREE. There is scarring still, but I was getting painful cysts and now it's just the occasional normal spot. This has made such a difference to my life. 100% glad I persevered."
