I eased into it super slowly (started with Differin before Tret, only used Tret 1x per week, then 2x a week, etc.) and didn’t have a noticeable “purge”. Think I noticed results once I got to a frequency of 2-3x a week (so about a month in)

I’d say it took me about 6-7 months for noticeable & consistent results (including outside comments). My skin transformation has been great. My purge took awhile maybe ~3months? Maybe since It took me longer to get a routine down my skin liked. Regardless it’s worth it!

Interesting enough: I started using tretinoin some three weeks ago, approx. 5 times a week. I feel like my skin has been getting noticeably better - but I have not experienced any purge at all so far. 😆

maybe you won’t have one! 🤞🏼 i’ve read about that happening if you’ve used adapalene/other actives for awhile beforehand
Not a user, so I have to ask - what the hell is the purge??
Pro
because after that initial purge your skin will be glowing and clear :)
Varies a lott, but the results are worth it so don’t worry!!
