What to expect when you start adapalene (Differin), the purging stage week by week, how to tell purging from retinoid dermatitis, and when you’ll see results.

Purging can start in weeks 2 to 4 and shows up where you normally break out. Not everyone purges, and for some people it lasts 4 to 12 weeks. Give adapalene 3 to 4 months before you decide if it’s working.

– Week 1: not much change in acne yet, maybe a little dryness, tightness or stinging
– Weeks 2-4: dryness, redness and flaking peak (retinoid dermatitis), purging can start
– Weeks 4-8: purge slows, fewer new breakouts, skin tolerates it better
– Months 3-4: most people see their skin really improve

Starting out: 3 nights a week for 2 weeks, then add a night if your skin is handling it

Still breaking out after 6 months? It’s time to change something.
