i’ve been using adapalene for about 2.5 months. i don’t see that much difference in my skin i used to have bad and mild breakouts but they calmed down. they calmed down more when i used adapalene by differen. anyways about a week ago i accidentally got it under my eyes, eye lid and corner of the eyes. now it burns and it’s red and it’s almost like it keeps growing. what should i do? please help because i don’t want it to scar since it’s a noticeable area+ the dark eye bags i have. thank you
