I cannot use retinols as they are too aggressive for my skin. My dermatologist recommended using this product and it's perfect. Wake up to better, softer and smoother skin without the irritation.

This is a great product for acne. It will dry your skin though, so you need to use moisturizers with it, otherwise it works.
Must have in your night routine

I think any product with retinol or retain that helps to regenerate the skin is always a must have for everyone. I use this almost every night or every other night and it helps with not just acne, but wrinkles and texture.
Finally tamed my monthly acne

I’ve been using Differin Gel for a few months now, and it’s really changed my skin. I usually break out badly during my monthly cycle, but since starting this, those flare-ups are so much milder and clear up faster. It did take a few weeks of patience before I saw results, but once my skin adjusted, the difference was clear—fewer pimples, smoother texture, and less redness overall. What I love most is that it hasn’t irritated my skin like other acne treatments I’ve tried. It’s not a miracle overnight fix, but it’s the first product that’s truly worked for me.

I have been suffering from acne since I was in elementary school, testing out and trying every drugstore product available to no avail. Last year I was diagnosed with PCOS, which helped me understand why most products weren't working for my skin. I needed something stronger, so mid July of this year, I went and purchased a tube of Differin and I wish I had used this sooner. This stuff is magical, and even though my skin isn't clear yet, it's so much better now than it has ever been. I even took this photo on my period, where I normally get extra pimples, and you can't even tell! I recommend this 100% especially if you are suffering from hormonal acne

I like the texture of it , very smooth and light . Scent less and absorb pretty quickly once you apply . This will cause dryness to your skin so make-sure to put lots of moisturizer. As of right now I haven’t see any improvement but will continue.

My most trusted acne treatment. It was recommended to me by my dermatologist many years ago and has been my go to ever since. When I use this gel at night, I always wake up with less pronounced whiteheads or blackheads and overall happier skin. A little bit goes a long way as it can dry out your skin, so I always use moisturizer with it. The tube is small and easy to squeeze the desired amount of product out of it.
Great

Really helped cure my bacterial acne on my forehead and reduced bumps that I’ve had for years. I had tried all kinds of skin care products for my textured skin but nothing worked as well as this

Get the larger tube to get you through the purge!

So far so good! Beware there is a long purging phase for this product, however, I personally haven’t noticed too much on myself. For reference, I have comedones on my forehead and get acne around my T-zone (combo skin). It’s helped with the acne but still working on the comedones! Make sure you only use a pea sized drop and let it sit for 3-10 minutes before applying moisturizer. I recommend getting the larger tube gel since it’s a better value and you’ll need more than the small tube to see the effects of Differin after the purging phase!

I went through a brief stage in my life where self care was nonexistent. My skin was horrible and I contribute Differin to helping with closed comedones and acne. The first weeks were pretty brutal. I was dry constantly, but I knew that would happen, so I purchased cicaplast balm. Even then, my skin was peeling constantly, but luckily not irritated. Results take a long time to see big results. I will continue to use it just because it is a highly loved by Dr. Dray and I trust that queen with my face.
Very strong ingredients, not for sensitive skin

Package looks professional and trusted . No scent. Texture is light . Ingredients are super strong that burned my skin. If you have a sensitive skin, need to be aware of it. I use only once a day with thin layer, my skin is still super dry in burning.
Great price for ingredient

I started using this product at 13 years old for my acne and had clear skin for many years. This Is the only product I was using on my face every night before bed. I eventually had to switch to something stronger as my skin built a tolerance to it but I recommended this to anyone who asked me about their acne

The texture is gel like and has no scent. This has been a part of my skin regime for about six months and have seen a great difference in my skin. This product is reasonably priced and the packaging simple.

Great over the counter option versus Tretinoin. It is effective and not as irritating. My skin couldn’t tolerate Tretinoin but did better with Differin. Remember to not use too often or it will cause a lot of irritation.
