Comparing Adapalene Topical vs Spironolactone

For Acne Adapalene worsens acne first two weeks but you have to be patient because wanted results may need up to 3 months to appear , I am a drug information specialist at a dermatology hospital and I realized that our patients get less flakes and dryness when washing out adapale after 15 minutes to half an hour , sometimes after 2 hrs that what most consultants in our hospital advice patients with.

For Acne I'm 43 yrs old and I have struggled with acne since my teens. I've tried many over the counter and prescription remedies. About four months my dermatologist prescribed doxycycline, clindamycin in the morning and differin at night. It took about a month before I started seeing a difference. This is the most effective treatment I've ever used. I have no active pimples. I do have some spotting from prior breakouts. My Dr. Prescribed hydroquinone also for the spots,but advised me to wait until the acne calms down before treating the spots. I barely needed to treat the spots by then the had lightened from the differin! Overall the texture of my skin looks better. However I do have 1 con. I have developed a light streak on one cheek.

For Acne I'm 42 and began taking spironolactone and using Differin for adult acne about a year ago. It took almost 8 months to really make a huge difference, but I could see some changes in the inflammation and severity of my acne after about four months. My acne was worse along the jawline and under my jaw, and usually manifested as deep, sore nodules that never really came to a head. I still get some breakouts but the pimples are much smaller and more on the surface, and almost none of them are on my jawline. They also heal much more quickly. The only negative side effects I've had are increased urination and weight gain. I've put on almost fifteen pounds over the last year, mostly in the belly, hips, and thighs.

For Acne I am 42yrs old and have always had problems with acne. I have been through a countless array of topical, laser and medication regimes and this is the only thing that has worked. My skin is clear and no more oil slick. The only thing I am concerned about is the rapid weight gain...It is not a listed side affect but have gained 12lbs since starting in late December.
