Burns a little when first applied by over all the exact same as brand name adapalene. Very nice packaging.

Destroyed my skin barrier for the first week or so of use, then slowly it got better. I use every other day and I love how my skin texture looks!

Differin dupe!
Differin dupe! Love it. Great for skin but most will want to work up to using it frequently. Great for younger people and older people alike. Strongest OTC generic I’ve found. Great price.

Wouldnt recommend
Used for over a week as directed. Saw no improvement and by the end of the week, the final time I tried this product, it felt as though I poured acid on my face. It was extremely painful. Wouldn’t recommend.

Works just as well as name brand!
I got this as a cheaper alternative to my usual skincare and was happy to see that it works just as well! My texture and skin remain clear and soft without too much drying.

Not as good as the name brand
I recently started using Differin about 9 months ago for anti-aging as well as adult acne control. It didn’t just control it - it completely eliminated it! I haven’t had any acne, not so much as a tiny whitehead, in 6 months. I cautiously tried this cheaper product and at first it seemed to be an exact dupe. It’s been a few weeks and I woke up this morning to about a dozen small pimples. NOPE. I’m returning this and will stick with the name brand from now on.

Not Comparable to other Adapalene brands
I am not sure about this. I have used Adapalene for many years in this strength and it controls my acne without irritation. I thought this was a better deal because it is advertised as 15 grams for $9.99 at the time of purchase. I see now 15g is the same as .5 ounce so its the same cost as the brand name. What I am running into it this gel is actually giving me acne. It is not that it is not controlling it, but its truly making me irritated and breaking me out. I patch test everything as I am prone to reactions and I am red like a sunburn and literally have a rash from this. It may be Adapalene but I am wondering what else could be in this. As I bought for acne, this is completely counterproductive and now I need an acne remedy for the acne my acne remedy caused. I will have to pass on this.

Good product
I’ve been using this product for about a month and the milia under my eyes have significantly gotten smaller. Highly recommend. Box says it might take a couple of months before you see results, but I was able to see results sooner. Also something to be aware of, the longer you use the product sometimes it feels like it’s burning in the areas it’s used. It’s something normal that happens when using the product. But, I will take that con if it works.

Just like the original
Seems exactly like the name brand product but at a better value. Internal and external packaging are exactly the same. So, seems like a good substitute with a price point that is also a good value. Up & Up makes very good products, in my opinion!

Great over the counter retinoid
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this lightweight, topical retinoid gel. It glides on smoothly and easily for easy application so far since I started using it my skin has been looking better and more clear. I don’t have overly dry skin, but it is not drying me out too much either. I really like this gel and I will plan on continue using it as long as my skin does not react to it. This is a great over-the-counter retinoid option! I received an incentive to write this review.

Helps the pimples go away!
Retinoid Acne Treatment - 0.1% Adapalene - 15g - up&up™ is really nice and soothing. Easy to follow and clear to read instructions on how to safely use the product. Helps to clear my face up of pesky break outs. I would highly recommend!

Works well
I have been using this retinoid gel for a few weeks. I had previously been using the name brand version of this product for a long time. I have not noticed any difference between the two products. The up and up version works just as well as the name brand.

Meh
I’m quite undecided on this product. I don’t feel like it has made a significant difference yet, and it has been two weeks. It doesn’t hurt when applied, easy to apply, convenient size. I think it’s a bit drying, and hasn’t made a big difference. Maybe just not the right product for my son.

Adapalene gel for blemish fighting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Breaking out in your 40’s is almost as bad as breaking out as a teenager. This amazing adapalene gel by up and up brand definitely does what it says it will. It goes on smooth and doesn’t overdry my skin. It helps with my blemishes and breakouts which I really need. They do all this without breaking the bank, which I can very much appreciate in this economy. This is perfect for teenagers and adult adults. I received an incentive to write this review.
