Adapalene topical for Acne "I went to the dermatologist for the first time in my life a few weeks ago (January) to try and get gorgeous skin for my wedding in September. I was prescribed this drug and chose it over the two others because it was the least expensive (still $125 for me, though). After using it for a few days (without seeing too much of a difference, but no deep pimples), I developed a rash on both arms and my upper side below my armpit. I didn't think it could be the product because I had applied it to my face, but after seeing that hives are a common reaction, I am sure that's what it is. The rash still itches occasionally and is unsightly on my arms even after 2 weeks. What a disappointment-and now I have to figure out how to get rid of this rash."

Adapalene topical for Acne "I have hormonal acne, and my skin's not sensitive at all. I only used this for 1 week, only every other day. This stuff seriously dried my face out so bad that not only did it dry my face out and make it burn and itch like crazy, but it also gave me dermatitis. Absolutely the worst product ever!!!"

Adapalene topical for Acne "Terrible for my skin, it made my skin so dry, itchy, and felt like it was on fire. How do I even heal my skin? It's been two days without using the soothing moisturizer and the Differin gel, and my skin is still having terrible effects from it."

Adapalene topical for Acne "This stuff is horrible. Doctor prescribed it because I was getting eczema next to my chin and a few breakouts. And now my face is on fire, is burning, itching, peeling, scabbing, and all, and it's made my face 100 times worse. Worst experience ever. I don't want to leave the house, this is ridiculous. Don't buy it."

For Acne "I'm on my second week of using this. My eyes are swollen, itchy, and red. My face is itchy and red and feels burnt. I will never touch this stuff again. My skin looks and feels awful."
