Did I get cocky with Adapalene?

My skin is being weird and I cannot figure it out and I'm wondering if it's possible to have a reaction to a stronger retinoid like Adapalene after using it for several weeks? I've been using Adapalene 0.1% for 6-7 weeks now and had zero issues with the transition. I started every other day for the first week but increased to daily the 2nd week because I had no issues. No peeling, stinging, itching, dryness, etc. Now I'm having weird hot spots and bumps and my skin feels more sensitive than usual. Could it be that I increased Adapalene too fast or would it be something else at this point? The only ingredient I know I'm sensitive to is Niacinamide and there is none in my routine currently. TYIA!

I hit the big 40 yesterday and one of the things I wanted to do was go to Sephora and smell all of the things. (I think I sniffed at least 100 perfumes!)

(I welcome all of the "over the hill" girlie picking a perfume called Ode to Dullness jokes!)

This was my most surprising sniff that I instantly fell in love with! This is the skin scent for those that think skin scents are scratchy and harsh. I, sadly, did not like a single Glossier or Missing Person, or Clean Skin Reserve, etc. but this is soft, powdery/woody heaven.

Does anyone have any recommendations for similar scents that are more affordable? I know JHAG isn't crazy expensive and I could get the 1.7oz for $50 but I was just curious if there were other options? Maybe even longer lasting ones? She may be dull but she's still a diva! LOL

Sooooo ADHD strikes again 😬 Found this Skylar in the outside pocket of a tote bag...... it's from July of 2024 🥸 Seriously?! I'm a mess. Please tell me I'm not the only one this happens to?

But this scent is really, really pretty! I googled the notes and it's supposedly: Passionfruit, Plumeria, and Vanilla. It's a sweet, "sandy", creamy, summer scent. Stay tuned for the next random perfume I find in the weirdest place ever next week!
