([Acne] adapalene advice

Ok so I’ve pretty much always been going through periods of closed comedones on forehead, chest and upper back, never really active pustules. My forehead and chest was getting really bad this year and after about 6 months of stubborn comedones I decided to try adapalene almost 2 months ago now.

My forehead is somewhat better while my chest has gone through a few purges and looks about the same now as it did when I started. However- I decided to try it on my back too which wasn’t even that bad but omg - I have full on acne with active pustules not only on my shoulders but ON MY ENTIRE BACK!

Did purging look like this for others or is my skin just not tolerating adapalene? What do I do now? If I stop the treatment on my back- how long time before it goes back to normal? What do I do!?
