Is it safe to use adapalene gel after putting the acne treatment?

[@mimamimi883]

My mother has small brown pigmentation on her face, and when she used it for a week, the brown spots became darker and more visible, and now she has stopped using it. What is the reason, please, and is there a solution? Answer me please.

[@maplecloud9855]

If you use this effaclar you need to wear sunscreen in the morning if not then the pigmentation will go darker

[@Tamamnett]

It goes darker but you have to trust the process It will start peeling and get better

[@jessicagalvan5049]

How would I repair the damage skin? If redness Occurs and burning sensation around the cheeks.

[@SkinZoneTV]

Stop use, and we have a video on our channel on how to repair an impaired skin barrier :)

[@J_B999]

I use it with a niacinamide moisturizer Is it okkay And my dermatologist said I should use all over the face

[@SkinZoneTV]

@@J_B999 hey follow what your dermatologist has recommended since you have had your skin analysed and a personalised skincare routine has been prescribed x

[@zenita04]

Do we put the moisturizer on top of the same area applied on with the Effaclar duo?

[@Ke.442]

yeah

[@Ke.442]

but like they said only after its dried or whatever cause then you wont be wiping it away

[@stephanieanstey2772]

Can I use this with my serums? Like hyaluronic acid and copper peptids?

[@kiuoiie]

Do i have to use it in the morning and during the evening? Or is it okay if I use it at night only? Also is it really necessary to put on sunscreen

[@Girzzlyঐু]

It depends on your severity, if you have breakouts and blackheads/whiteheads then i would say use it in the morning and before bed. And YESS always use sunscreen no matter what you're using. Also if you use effaclar duo make sure you moisturize after, it can be very drying.

[@kiuoiie]

Can you answer plz I use first cleansing then toner with BH and hyaluronic acid as moisturizer and eff duo M Iam using it right ? Also can we apply vitamin c instead of hyaluronic acid serum?

[@doveyafy]

yes you are right! and no, it is not recommended to use it with vitamic c at the same time since this effaclar duo contain benzoyl peroxide and you don't want to irritate the skin since both of the products contains active ingredients! i hope this helps!

[@sall1804]

I’d like to ask about this product.. is it normal that it stings when it’s applied on the face? It feels like a lot of tiny ants biting simultaneously..

[@hammedirahma2418]

Same to me i feel like my face is burning i live in a hot place i apply it in morning because i apply vitamin c in evening

[@PotatoLaptopUser]

Yes but no, if you have sensitive skin then yeah if the acne is still red without a visible head yet, I would recommend for a head to become visible then start applying it, a lot of people apply it too early and cause the stinging. But if it persist then I would stop using it.

[@humerasharieff2899]

I’m breastfeeding can I use it pls reply

[@SkinZoneTV]

Check with your doctor xx

[@celisebotha6949]

[@khanhthu1316]

hello, I just started using it lately and this video is such a helpful instruction, tysm! If you don't mind to answer, I have some questions. - I'm using it day and night and the purging is happening (before the acne became irritating I was using a vit C product that contain niacinamide in it). Is it normal and effective to keep this routine? Some people only use once or twice a week to begin with so idk... - Is sunscreen mandatory? Using sunscreen means I have to do double cleansing. I stopped after the acne became bad and didn't want it to clog the pores. But some active ingredients requires UV protection so idk, should I use it again? - here my routine: foam cleanser - soothing/moisturizing toner - soothing/moisturizing serum - La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+ M. Any change I should add? I will really appreciate it if you answer! Thank youu

[@SkinZoneTV]

How long have you been using it and experiencing purging? Try a sunscreen with zinc oxide as it is anti inflammatory and healing - great for acne. If you get acne you are prone to post inflammatory marks so yes sunscreen will help. Fun fact: you should be double cleansing in the evening regardless if you wore sunscreen or not :) we get oil, dirt and sweat from the day the first cleanse removes this, and the 2nd cleanse cleanses the skin properly xx

[@khanhthu1316]

@@SkinZoneTV I've been using it only about a week! And double cleansing make my skin worse, I emulsified carefully and used a water-based cleanser after but more acne appeared. I saw some who have the same problem stop using it so I did the same, I guess it's the oil cleanser products that don't suit me (I use Manyo oil cleanser). Anyway, thank you so much for your reply! Really appreciate it, I will find a proper sunscreen

[@SkinZoneTV]

Yeah so oil cleansers should only be used as a 1st cleanse, and definitely followed up with a different 2nd cleanser to break down the oil. Since you've only just started using the effaclar treatment, try cutting back how often you are using it. Only use it at night time, try every second night instead of daily. You can then go back to using your niacinamide/vitamin c serum in the mornings. and what you are experiencing is purging which can last 4-6 weeks. @@khanhthu1316

[@zenphy1995]

Going to start using it as spot treatment, after shower before putting on moisturizer. How long does it take to absorb before i can put on moisturize?

[@SkinZoneTV]

Sounds great! It will depend on how much you apply, your skin and humidity in the air etc on how long it will take to absorb. But you will feel once it’s absorbed then apply your moisturizer x

[@habibaelshamoty691]

I use the +M European version, I have been using it on my cheeks and forehead because of my closed comedones, but they just grew more, and I developed blackheads, I have been also using cicaplast at night, and the morning after my skin would be clear and once I put effeclar it goes back to the way it was, what do I do ??😭😭

[@KakaoPfoteMsp]

if you are sure that its the effaclar duo then i guess stop using it?? 😭😭 do you really need it anyway if you say your skins clear after using cicaplast? did you mix both? cicaplast is not a moisturizer, i wouldnt use the effaclar and cicaplast at the same time (maybe the layers clog your pores??)

[@asaln3197]

It’s the cicaplast. It clogs pores

[@ima9664]

Girly I don't know about how bad or serious your skin condition is, or what may be causing it, but my dermatologist once told me, the least amount of products you use on your skin the better, of course when I started the treatment he prescribed me some medication, but now I only use the effaclar and my sunscreen, that's all, I used to have bad-moderate acne, I'll start using the European version cuz that's what they are selling now at the store so I'll see if I see something feels different and tell you girly, sending love and hoping your skin heals ❤

Why shouldn't you use vitamin C with effaclar duo? I use a vitamin C foam cleanser in the shower and a vitamin C + B3 serum before effaclar duo. I had no idea this was an issue.
