Today, we continue to bring affordable health and wellness products to your doorstep as America's trusted OTC store. Q: Will I experience purging or an initial breakout? A: Some users may notice mild breakouts in the first few weeks — this is a normal adjustment period as adapalene increases skin cell turnover and helps clear clogged pores. This phase is temporary and often a sign the product is working to improve your skin’s clarity long-term. For best results, apply a thin layer once daily and allow your skin time to adjust. Q: Does it cause dryness or peeling? A: Adapalene may cause mild dryness or peeling, especially when first introduced. This is common with topical retinoids and can be managed by applying a gentle moisturizer and starting with every-other-day use. Over time, most users find their skin becomes more tolerant, with less dryness and improved texture. Q: Can it cause irritation or redness? A: Mild irritation or redness is possible in the early stages, particularly for those with sensitive skin. These effects typically decrease as your skin adapts. To minimize irritation, we recommend using a gentle cleanser, applying moisturizer before or after adapalene, and avoiding harsh exfoliants during the first few weeks. Q: Will it thin my skin or make it overly sensitive over time? A: No — adapalene is a non-steroidal retinoid that works by promoting healthy skin renewal, not thinning it. With consistent use, it helps improve skin tone, reduce blemishes, and enhance texture. Any initial sensitivity usually subsides, and many users find their skin becomes stronger and clearer over time. Q: Do I need to avoid sunlight while using it? A: Adapalene doesn’t cause sun sensitivity as strongly as other retinoids like tretinoin, but it’s still a good idea to use sunscreen daily and limit prolonged sun exposure. This protects your skin and helps you get the best possible results without irritation. WELMATE. America's Trusted OTC Store. Over-the-counter meds at wholesale value. Our Story. Our founder had worked at a chain store pharmacy since 2004. It was a comfortable job, filling prescriptions, enjoying premium coffee, and having a nice 401K. He could've kept at it for decades. But he's a friendly guy and would often strike up a conversation with the customers, especially the regulars. And they’d drop comments that were hard to hear: "These pills are really eating a chunk out of my monthly budget, but the doc put me on a maintenance plan, so here we are again." "Gosh, if it were prescription meds, my insurance would cover it, but I don't have coverage for over-the-counter." And most often: "Whoa. Why does this stuff cost so much?" As an employee, our founder knew he couldn't do much for their customers-turned-pals. But as a deeply caring human, with plenty of insider info, he knew the solution was right around the bend. “Let’s get the meds to them in a cost-efficient way.” It's the twenty-first century. People don't have to get their meds from a pharma-chainstore, or even from their local drugstore. The bottles don't have to pass through so many hands, with prices marked up at each transfer. He used his connections to the manufacturers to purchase the most-needed maintenance medications. To keep costs rock-bottom, he didn't even rent a warehouse. He stacked the boxes in his living room at first. He began by offering his products on other platforms, and, in 2020, slashed costs even further by moving the entire line to his independent storefront. And here we are. Welcome to WELMATE!
