AM - Cetaphil Gentle cleanser, Celeteque Moisturizer, Cetaphil sunscreen SPF 50 or Skin1004 SPF 50+++.

Main concern: Purging from Differin Adapalene Gel 0.1% in the 5th week of using it. I feel like the purging is pretty harsh. I use it 2–3 times a week. Now I'm only using it twice a week due to stinging when I apply moisturizer. Should I keep going? I'm scared that if I stop suddenly, the adapalene results will just go back to zero if I use it again.
