Acne due to hormonal issues.
I am on retinol(adapalene gel) since February, sometimes my acne feels better and sometimes it breaks out badly. I have heard that it takes time for the retinols to work. Should I continue it or stop using? My acne problem is due to my hormonal issues what can I do to reduce my acnes? It affects my confidence and I'm tired of getting acne since the last 5 years. I mostly get pus filled , comodenes, and redness.
