1. Expecting overnight result
2. Stopping adapalene prematurely
3. Not using the right amount
4. Forgetting moisturizer
5. Stopping adapalene when having purge
Thankss !
Oh my thanks a lot!🙌🏽
Is pealing normal in acne area??
While using adaplene gel
@@Evicreations30 How is it working... Are you getting any results? Please let me know 🥺🥺
@@dhruboshahriar3959 yes it is, I got results only by two weeks
Firstly it made some redness and pealings but I think it's because I used lit bit more amount
I only using it at night
First wash face with your foaming cleanser (because you have acne) then use moisturizer
And then apply thin amount of it
Not much with near eye or mouth area but lil more in acne area
I used like he said only pear size amount
Then literary I got more effective results
I only using it only night before the bed
and during day time after using your cleanser use vitamin C and E 20% serum
It will help reduce marks and dark shades on your face
Now my face getting really healthy only using by one month
And I still using adaplene gel because he said it's okay to use it long term 😊💜💜💜💜
Thanks for content creator 💜💜
He is good at explaining. Highly recommended.
Thanks our Digital Skin Doctor for a systematic, structured and comprehensive explanation😇
What a crisp video! so informative and answers everything!
Differin is the only product that has effectively helped me get rid of acne. I was worried about the purging too but i am so happy with my skin now. I started in mid April and as of June now, my skin has definitely cleared up. Still a few scars but way better than before. Now when i walk outside without makeup and i still feel confident : )
@zulu bub i would say mostly bacterial. I sometimes saw fungal breakouts before but that's rare and usually due to reactions with certain skincare products i used to use.
Did you purge?
Does adapelein fix some of the physical scars?
@@fierrza1845 not really. Your concern needs different treatment
Sis we can use in only affected areas ??
This video is what I needed right now.
This video is a life-saver! So thankful for this!!
Very good level of sensible information around adaplene.
Well explained. Thank you 🙏
I just started Adapalene, & this was encouraging. My acne has been going off! Now I can relax and instead of being concerned I can enjoy the fact that the product is actually doing it's job :)
Do you use adapalene first then moisture or first moisture and then adapalene please tell is adapaleme gel effective please
Adapalene and then moisturizer. So far I have enjoyed it. I'll be honest - I upgraded my entire routine at the same time I started Adapalene. So it's not possible for me to know how much of the positive benefits have been from Adapalene vs. the other serums & acids. I will continue to keep it in my routine as I continue to upgrade my products. My skin is so much better than it was before I made the changes.
@@codibrooke6422 can u tell us what serum u using too ? i started adapalene and i'm afraid to break if i use other serums
Very informative ❤️thank you so much doctor 🤞🧿
This video was so helpful thank you so much, I'm going to purchase some ASAP🥰
Great video jam packed with great information. My skin could not handle the use of tret. So I started adapalene instead & I could not be happier. I had to pen in reminders at the beginning so that I didn’t over so it but now (after 8 weeks) I’m on at least 4 times a week. It’s truly a process centred around trust when it comes to retinol. It’s so worth it though ✨
What sort of acne did it help with please? Did you have closed comedones?
@@rohygge9671 (closed comedones) small white heads/ postule pimples in clusters on one side of my face in between my nose and inner cheek.
I use Tretinion gel instead. started off 3 days a week for a month, 4 days a week for following month, then slowly increasing the number of days by each month. Fast forward 5 months later, my skin is actually starting to glow. Though there are occasional mild breakout on chin, it went away in few days as opposed to weeks i used to have.
What product i use is full set of eucerin pro acne range in companion with tretinoin gel.
Morning: cleanser, toner, moisturiser, then sunscreen spf 50 for the entire face.
Night routine: Cleanser , toner, moisturiser, then T gel as final step. Sometimes i put benzyl peroxide on some inflammed acne.
Also, your diet also plays a major role in skin care.
I used that shit and applied a tiny pea sized amount and my entire face peeled off for days
My purge happnd for 18 weeks! Just as i thought it was getting better, another purge comes. Thank God I was resilient and really trusted the product, on my 8th month, my skin was way better than before, so healthy and the glow is very diff. Still cont using adapalene up till today with no regrets.
How many times did you apply adapalene in your first week?
@@lavheejoycecallao1553 I started with once a week and then, after two weeks, every day because I saw that my skin tolerate it well (I have sensitive and dry skin). Now It’s purging as hell and I hope it will get better
Same, the purge is still ongoing now in my 4th month. I think now that we use facemask all day also make it worse
Update : my skin got better starting this month, it also help with acne marks and texture, acne scar that is not deep also shown improvement. don't give up if you want to use differin/adapalene. I use differin every night, except 1 night for salicylic acid. Find the right moisturizer for you and your skin won't become dry.
I will continue using differin gel consistently for now
I purged for 10 weeks!
Updates: I’ve been using it for almost 4 months and finally I can see the results! My skin now is clear (even if sometimes it breaks out), bumps are gone and the texture is super smooth, I can’t believe it because during my purging period I was pretty upset and hopeless. Obv my skin is not still perfect because I have a lot of PIH but I trust the process and I think I’m gonna start a treatment to reduce acne spots. Be patient, time and costance are the only key💪🏼🥰
Thank you so much ❤️ I tried the same way u said it really works thank you doctor
Don’t forget sunscreen! Adapaline makes your skin more sensitive to the sun.
How much more sensitive? Am I okay going outside just for a few minutes to grab something?
No necessarily so.
Im always on home so Idgf
Can i use if i have dry skin
I have a huge problem with sunscreen because it made my skin break out really bad, it actually caused my acne so i‘m currently not using sunscreen anymore
Back when I was 14 I was recommended adapaline and a bha facewash .. and no other thing ( yes no sunscreen and moisturizer🙂) all though there was a little skin peeling but thankfully I didn't get anything worse except recurring dryness ....so I stopped to use them back then .. now I see why that didn't work
Love you doc!
Very informative!! Thank you
Yey! Finally with Adapalene! Thank you so much!
I have oily/acne-prone skin and started out with mild-moderate adult acne, I occasionally got painful cystic acne as well. Luckily, I had minimal purging when I first started Differin, acne became slightly worse for a few weeks, but I saw improvements at around 6 weeks and my skin was less oily. That was 10 years ago when I was in my 20s…I’ve been using it on and off since. Nowadays I alternate it with Tretinoin 0.05% cream, and my skin looks great. I still get hormonal PMS acne around my chin, but they clear up quickly without leaving behind scars. I will never stop Differin or Tretinoin. Please stay away from the sun if you use those products, or you’ll just be making things worse! If you will be in the sun, use a good sunscreen, an oil-free, non-comedogenic one with spf30 (atleast), the sunscreen I use is also by Differin, they make a good one for oily/acne-prone skin, Cetaphil is another brand that has a good non-comedogenic sunscreen for oily/acne-prone skin.
Great video, thank you!👍🏻
Been using Adapalene for 1 year + now. It has helped me control my adult acne. Highly recommend.
Thanks for the video. No wonder my body acne worsened when I started using Differin gel. However, when I used 0.5% salicylic acid, there isn't any purging period. Acne stopped growing and got under control. I wonder why
Salaam alaikom Ramadan Mubarak doctor
Wa alekum salam
My brother muslim
your channel is so informative, doc. i absolutely love your channel‼️😭
Thank you
Thank you, so informative!
My face has been peeling off ever since I started & I’ve been applying before moisturizer.. you just saved my face 😭
Literally same oh my god
Great explanations ! Thank you for the videos dr ingky !!
I bought yesterday afternoon this product. That’s why I’m here to know what’s the right usage of this adapalene.. Watching from Philippines! Thank you!
Thank u so much dr for introdc this prdct
Finally someone explain it clearly. Im using almost 4 months and no more acne (after weeks of research). But it so hard to explain to my friends about it. Gonna just share this vid next time :) thank u.
Adapalene ni kena sapu satu muka ke atau pakai as spot treatment je?
@@sitizulaikabintileman4145 satu muka , leher sekali.
When do you apply differin? In the evening, in the afternoon..?
@@sofiap03 apply it only at night and use sunscreen in sunlight (very important)
@@medicallife3486 do you use it everyday ?
I also learn to reduce the products i use and just have a simple routine
I used:
-micellar water
-cosrx good morning cleanser
-illiyoon moisturizer
-differin gel
I used sandwich method moisturizer-adapalene-moisturizer
And sunscreen in morning
After weeks of using differin gel i purge but my i can see that my purge is not that severe because iu always moisturize my skin
to prevent really bad dryness and irritatation use a daily moisturizer and sunscreen for added protection.
Adaplene is the best thing I have used for my acne, 5 months down and the acne that I have struggled with for 11 years is gone!!!
is it?
Yeah, I'm just dealing with the stubborn scars atm :'(
@@marciajj2988 its diffrine,?
No I use another brand that my doctor prescribed me
i used adpalene for years but it didn't give any prominent results. i used only a small amount. what's the amount exactly u used per night?
I have been using tidact with adapalene for almost 2 months and my acne is getting less and less, only my face is oily. but my mistake is when the acne is gone, I don't use enough adapalene and the acne starts to come back
how you used adapalene and tidact together ? Is it you mix it or you layered ?
@@nurulkhuzaimah9815 Cleanser, Tidact, Adapalene, Moisturiser/Aloevera Gel .
@nabilah do you use it every night?
What is tidact? I have never heard of that before.
@@SVL86 it's a brand of clindamycin 1%
Adapalene is my holy grail! i already stopped going to dermatologist since i discovered it🤩
Thank you so much for thai cc🙏
I've been using differin for a year and it did improve my acne significantly . What can I use for the scars?
I hope you answer this question
Instead of using it for years ahead as it will cause no harm, is there a specific time or period that we need to use it after our skin has cleared up to avoid the sudden breakout again. For me it is quite expensive, if I can cut it and just stick to a super basic cleanser-moisturizer-sunscreen routine would be the best.
I genuinely hope for an answer🙏🏻 Thank you so much btw for the informative video
It clear my all cnfusions thnk a kot doc God bless u
brilliant thank you
Me: I know what a pea sized amount looks like.
Me after I watch the video: I do NOT know what a pea sized amount looks like.
😂😂
Broooo . Same here that’s way more than I expected a pea sized amount will be
Sameeee, gosh. I once squeezed that pea sized amount of adapelene on my finger before and I even panicked and wondered if it would cause irritation on my skin cause I used "too much". Turns out that was the correct amount and I've been using too little 🙃🙃🙃
Ikr i guess peas I’ve been seeing are smaller in size 😅😅
Lol!
What moisturizer do you suggest using with adapalene ?
Terima kasih, Dok!
Great video.. Thanks a lot 🥰
Been using this product for 9 months now. Thought I would not find anything to clear my acne. I’ve tried all the skincare available in the market but this is the only thing that worked!!! I rarely get acne now. Best decision ever.
Do u use it every single night or twice a week?
What brand you used?
how long does the purging process take?
I cant say enough how this transformed my skin! Adapalene with moisturizer is an everyday must for me! ❤️❤️
Iam having redness on applied area . Did it happend to you as well ?
@@ranjanakarki3531 yes
@@ranjanakarki3531 did you wear sunscreen during the day? Apply only thin layer. No redness for me. Except the healing acne
hey do you moisturize before using Differin?
Hello Farah, may I ask if it helped you with blackheads and pores ?
My skin visibly improved pretty much right away with adapalene but I don’t have acne. I am a chronic picker and it seems to speed up the healing process.
Just subscribed to your channel Dr.Ingky, very nice info , looking forward to see more videos .
Masa awal2 tahu psl skincare,try pakai adapalene,mix dgn moisturizer,2 kali seminggu..nampak kesan awal jugak,memang kulit very less oily..tp,stop dulu sbb xleh betul2 stick dgn sunscreen waktu tu..now dah ok basic skincare,tp guna retinol dulu..mcm xde efek retinol,tp baru 3 mgu guna je..
Letak moisturizer dulu then adapalene then moisturizer again boleh ke
@@KuyaKuya boleh, sandwich method tu..pakai adapalene ni akan mengeringkan kulit,so memang kena bykkan hydration
What the difference of galderma differin gel and cream ?????
Tq for the info doctor.
Fantastic video.. Great information. I was just about to give up on Dufferin, so thank you! 😊🙏🏽
How's it going for you now? I just started differin and zineryt aswell as some good moisturizer/sunscreen cream and so far my face just feels sensitive lol
@@ahmet6144 Its going really good now! In the beginning I made the mistake of doing too much all at once: SPF moisturizer and benzoyl peroxide in the morning and a niacinamide moisturizer and differin at night. I basically just cut out the benzoyl and let the Differin be my only active. I also went wayyyy too hard with the Differin and I was using too much, this caused sensitivity and peeling. You really do only need a pea size for your whole face. I found that using less product and also applying my moisturizer first and then the Differin on top, really decreased the sensitivity, so definitely try that. I had a 6 week purge though, and that's what almost made me give up altogether. Since using Differin, my breakouts have decreased by 95%..not kidding. Occasionally I get 1 or 2 pimples, which is NOTHING compared to before when there was never a time I didn't have pimples on my face😫. Also, the length of time in which my "breakout" lasts has been cut in half. Lengthy response lol but I really want you to keep going because it gets so much better!
@@jcampbell1611 I appreciate the effort you put into your post I'll definitely stay on it :
@@ahmet6144 you're welcome!
i have been using T3 adapalene for 2 months . i could see the improvement tapi slow laa. add moisturiser after adapalane. kalau sapu moisturiser dulu jerawat naik sana sini
No wonder jerawat makin naik masa saya pakai moisturiser dulu baru adapelene. Sebab confuse ada yg kata pakai moisturiser dulu then adapelene lepastu ada yg kata sebaliknya
Haaa found comment tht useful
i've gone through 2 rounds of differin (i was dumb/ got cocky and stopped after the first) and both times the purge lasted FOREVER but i got fully clear skin at 8/9 months!! it's so slow but so worth it
Yes.
Thank you so much
Thank you for entertaining explanation.😍
Great video! Adapalene helped my acne. And yes, he is really correct! Moisturizer is key! Love this!
where did you buy your
adapalene?
@@arissanwi I am from the Philippines and I have ordered online. There is also an adapalene gel at Watsons but it is more pricey.
did u experienced purging? how u manage it?
@@roscarlbute2338 Hey! Uhm. I did not. I think when they say pea size, you really just need that. I bought this 15g tube and it lasted for 6 months. I have been consistent with this routine for years:
Morning:
•Gentle Cleanser
•Moisturizer
•Sunscreen (SPF 50)
Evening:
•Cleansing oil or fragrance free Ponds cold cream
•Gentle cleanser
•Moisturizer on damp face (Wait until your face is completely dry) then...
•Adapalene gel
And sleep is essential too.
I hope this helps. And, products which are Fragrance Free are the best. 💖
thank u so much!!
Yes! Totally agreed with Doc. Before start the adapalene, we need to understand how's it works.. am using Adapalene by La Roche Posay and it's amazing🥰
Same...how much it has take for clear skin??
@@far_ha3674 Am on my 3rd months but i don't apply it everyday. Am also using azelaic acid twice a week and Mugwort mask once a week. Just a pea size of it will do and i can see my skin is getting better even am still on purging phase. I just wish that i know bout Adapalene long ago😅
@@nadir728 hi i want to ask, did you apply only at acne or the whole face?
@@hanisaqilah3846 the whole face my dear. Make sure to apply moisturizer 1st bfore Adapalene. It's best for you to check 1st what are the ingredients can't be mix with Adapalene. 😘
@@nadir728 thank youu sis❤️
Thank you!
Thanks doctor
6 month used. Jerawat hilang, scar pun hilang. Paling bgus !! sabar dan consistent.
Good to know that !
I’ve been using adapalene for more than three months and it works wonder. I used adapalene before moisturizer for first 5-7weeks and now i apply after moisturizer. Will keep using for years start now. Thank you doctor!
Hi. May I know if you apply adapalene for the whole face or just apply on acne only ?
@@amirahazmi2160 hello and greeting. I apply adapalene for my whole skin. But in small qty. just pea size is enough
Do you apply adapalene every night?
@@dominyka2200 certainly. Every night, at the same constant time.
I pun act tgh struggle dgn acne ni tapi i mcm nak beli adapalene tapi mcm nk try some by me aha bha pha serum tu.. nk ikut harga some by me lagi jimat.. konfiuss sbb rasa dua2 boleh purging 😭😭😭
My skin drastically dried and was sensitive since i was afraid i stopped and decided to use a natural treatment instead. Overall my acne has quite died down. I exfoliate regularly
Best doctor
Hi! Could you share about Epiduo gel as well? Or would it be similar to this video as Epiduo gel contains Adapalene as well?
I've been meaning to try this out. But I was frightened by all the medical lingo lol. Thanks doc!
It’s definitely worth a try. It revolutionized my skin in 3 months. You might still get acne here and there but it’ll be nothing compared to before, it’ll dry out quicker, heal faster and better.
@@Jl2damax what’s ur skin type
@@user-eh6tm5jv9p it was oily. Now it’s more normal/combo dry. I am a little older now though so I think that’s also contributed to the change.
Edit: oh lemme add I stopped adapalene during my pregnancy and I went right back to oily until I got back on it
Start guna adapalene sbb dr ingky kenalkan, kalau tau dari dulu maybe kulit masih cantik
Hi there. I’ve been using this product for years and it definitely works; my only concern is if any of the ingredients age the skin? I feel like my skin is losing its elasticity and unsure if this is contributing? Thanks
I don't have acne, I have heard it can be used as an anti aging too. Is it true?
It took MONTHS for me to see significant results. But I can't tell if I experience purging or it was just regular breakouts 😂 Luckily, I never experience any dryness
Did u use moisturizer before applying it or just spread it across your bare skin?
@@doreenmariellerosales8917 I'm using it since two months, I'm using it slowly because I want my skin to get used to it, so I used once a week but now twice a week, I'm using it specially now because of lock down because I don't have to go out and if your house is open or you go out must apply sun screen very very important during using adaplene to protect skin from sunlight
I'm experiencing more purging and it happens to a lot of people using Retinoids, I have 1 or no acne usually but due to adaplene I've 4 acne now, but I have confidence in it within some months my skin will be clear like a glass, in sha Allah
And I first wash my face and apply moisturizer then after 2 mints, apply adaplene only pea size to whole face and my skin is not so dry may be because I use moisturizer but I have noticed that oil that used to come at my nose has stopped
And try to treat your skin gently mean don't use scrubs or chemicals or harsh face wash
The only thing you need are
Gentle face wash
Moisturizer
Adaplene(only apply at night)
Sunscreen
@@medicallife3486 how are you right now?
Same here.... i've never experience any dryness after using BP or adapalene
@@doreenmariellerosales8917 oops just saw this. I use it after I finish all my skincare steps. So I use it after moisturizer
Great info. Thanks
Can you advice a good moisturiser that can be used with Diffren gel.
Any moisturizer that is suitable for you should be fine to use :)
Helpful info
Can you review retinol from the inkey list dr?
Can you please next time do a review about cosrx products!! Please.
Plz do it..
Differin is very effective, I love it so much
Glad you like it!
This has been my maintenance after finishing isotretinoin treatment course last 2019..no more major breakout but you really have to use moisturizer because it is very drying on skin
What’s the next step? I’ve been using this for over a year and has helped immensely but I still deal with breakouts and my skin is almost never completely clear. Should I get a stronger prescription or add something else into my routine to fight acne?
youu could try adding 2.5% benzoyl peroxide to your routine
I experienced purging for probably 4-6 weeks before it finally subsided, and now I'm just glad I didn't stop using it. My skin is finally free from acne, and I would only occassionally have a couple when I'm really stressed, and even those acne go away quite fast.
It really works? Does The purging looks too much on it skin?
@@wheresmysissturrIt really works!
For the purging, i think it will depend per person, but for me, it was really bad, and it lasted quite some time. You would really need to mentally prepare yourself for it before starting Differin so when you purge, it's already expected. When the purging was over tho, it's really worth it. It's been 6 months since my acne subsided, and I swear I rarely have pimples now. I am still working on the scars and hyperpigmentations, but focusing on them became easier since I no longer need to worry about the acne. Oh, and I am still using Differin. It has to be a continued usage even when there are no longer any acne to keep the skin clear. 😄
@@msbookworm1395 can I know do u use differin every night or like twice a week consistently?
@@KuyaKuya My skin handles it pretty well so I am actually using it every night. When I started, though, I tried it every other night, and when I didn't experience any dryness, I proceeded to use it nightly.
When I used it at first though, I use it after moisturizing to kind of minimize any dryness I might experience, and I guess it helped.
Are you still using it?
I hav been using it since January bt my acne keeps getting worst so I was prescribed some antibiotics bt am still using adapalene hopefully it will work
Hi dr! What of tretinoin at Watson? Can you do a review? Currently using it to rid of blackheads
I know there isn’t much research done using adapalene for anti-aging, but do you think it is safe to use it even if I don’t have active acne to treat ? It is a form of over the counter inexpensive vitamin A that has skin benefits so as long as it is not dangerous, I am willing to try it out.
I believe there's some evidence beginning to emerge that it does combat aging. I remember Dr. Dray saying something of that nature.
I believe its retinol, which is good for your skin. Vitamin A.
Hi doc,can we apply adapalene after nihon bfc?because nihon contains retinol..
I don't think it's a good idea to use a retinol and a retinoid at the same time as it might cause irritation to your skin as both ingredients are strong exfoliators.
Thank you Dr this so helpful
Should I use it every night? Or once a week?
God bless you
Hey , i have a dbt. Adaplene 0.1 %gel worked me. But often i got pimple. After the 6 month of use this gel show miracle. Lot of my scars are removed and lot of acne faded away. I also used that gel yesterday. But my dermatologist prescribed me a combination gel (clindamycin phosphate, allantoin & nicotinamide gel) today. She asked me to use twice a day. Is that okay Sudden stop of Adaplene gel. And start this gel??
Plz reply
i have been use adapalene for 3 months.. for first month my face was purge so bad.. but I stop for 2 weeks and start again.. until now everyday im using it my kin become more smooth and acne slow down.. if you guys using adapalene please be Faith and using it until it give a good results to ur skin
Im about to start using it I dont wanna have a purgeee :( :(
So you use adapalene for entire face? I thought only on acnes
@@nanas8896 you apply it to your entire face

Dr, can you make video for using tretinoin?
wow this was very informative
Glad it was helpful
differin gave me acne scars and my acne came back after starting to clear up while still using differin
Samee! it gave me acne scars after 3 months of using.. since it's been two years since you made this comment can you Tell me what u did after??
I stopped using it, because while yes it was purging, the scars aren't worth it. I still have the scars and some pimples sometimes in the area but never as bad as when I used differin and now the pimples don't leave scars. Also my scars are only noticible for me so i'm okay with it and i just use a basic skincare routine with exfoliants.

Can you make a video about recommended vitamin c serum to reduce acne scars? Thank you.
I've got one for you. It's called the Tiam Vita C serum. An absolute lifesaver for fading cystic acne. Though the more severe your skin, the longer it takes to work :)
For beginner, use low percentage first. 1-2%
I think you buy the hero lightning wand. I love that it’s formulated w niacinamide, glycolic acid, tranexamic acid and vitamin C. Those r all rly good ingredients to get rid of hyperpigmentation
Melano cc essance
Respect u sir from India' 👍
I got the laroch posay and it works perfectly. It’s 1%. It took me about a month and an half. I use at night and in the morning I use the French haleronic acid.
Do you use your adapalene everyday? Or just 2 per week?
Started using it two weeks ago. Undergoing purge right now and my skin is so itchy and irritated. Have to constantly mist my face throughout the day to reduce the irritation. 😭😭
Are you only using it or with facial lotion or cream?
@@Hannah-uo3nu have ben using cerave's pm lotion before and after. But now there's no more itchyness and irritation. But it has made my skin drier than usual. I wake up with like flaky skin on my chin.

I used epiduo (0.1% adapalene,2.5% BPO) and my purging last for 5 months too. I've stopped using it because the pain and itch was unbearable. After stopping it,i focused on skin barrier and its getting better. Maybe my skin is not compatible with it 🤷.
