Would a switch from Adapalene 0.1% to some other retinoid like tret/retinol be worth it?

[Ocelot]

So I've been using adapalene 0.1% for around 4-5 months with dog-shit results. I had moderate acne, and now it's almost the slightly less but still bad. Skin quality hasn't improved much either.

Issue is everything else requires a prescription.

By moderate I don't mean clinically moderate or the images that pop up when typing moderate acne on images. I guess a few pimples here and there is mild.

Honestly I have seen more success with Adapalene than with Retin-A. I will be switching to 0.5% from 0.25% though

Do I need to up the strength? I've only been using 0.1%. Or would a switch to Retin-A be better?

Seriously do it. You might feel purging effects from the retin-a but it’ll be so fucking worth it in the end

Yes, tret is stronger. I can't use it everyday or i get hard peels and irritation. It needs no convertion, adapalene needs one step before being used on the skin.

What a fagget, stick to your adapalene. It's not like you are buying heroin.
