Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Its the mode of action and is normal when you apply Adapalene. It does take so,me time after starting the adapalene to become acne free.

There is no need to worry, continue the cream. Wash your face with a pinch of turmeric after steam exposure this will hep to remove the black heads.

Hope, I answered your query.
