Like the title says, this is it and I've tried everything from peels to light therapy to every product that is marketed towards clearing acne. You just have to give it time to work. It's not going to clear your acne overnight or transform your skin over the course of weeks. You might peel or purge at first, thankfully only the former for me...but that was easily solved with a good moisturizer and it's worth it. After a few months, I was able to use this with just a peptide serum/hyularonic acid and my skin has never in my life looked better. I've tried a few other adapalene products and for some reason, Differin works best on my skin. I'm assuming it's the formula. I would recommend this to anyone with cystic acne.
Great Product

I had a prescription for adapelene gel, which is basically what this made of, granted i had a stronger dosage bit as I got older I needed it less and less. That's why I started using this now, and the results are pretty similar... definitely recommend if you get breakouts and are prone to scarring after.

I had a terrible reaction to this stuff. From day one my skin itched/burned so severely that it was all I could do not to rub sandpaper against it. I figured it was just part of the process and I should tough it out, but on day 9 my skin had the tight, shiny look that happens after a bad burn, and I decided it wasn't for me. Lord knows I already have enough acne scars, don't need burn scars as well. By then, the itching had spread to places I'd never applied the gel, down my neck and arms, etc. I know it's not common to have this type of reaction, so please don't let this sway you if it looks like Differin might really help you out. Just wanted to share my experience in case others find themselves in the same boat. I'm happy to say that 24 hours after stopping it, my skin is no longer itchy. And so the quest for the right acne treatment continues ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Differin Gel helps remove and prevent acne and blackheads effectively. Daily use helps improve the skin most clearly. The product has a light scent and a gel texture that is easy to apply to the skin.

Recommended by my dermatologist for dark spots, but it takes a while to see results. Too early for a realistic review.
It’s a no.

It broke me out SOOOOO bad when I used it. I had inflamed pimples all the time when using this product. It never cleared my skin, just made it worst. Wouldn’t recommend and would never pick up again.
Love it

The price is not bad at all. It us supposed to last up to 30 days which it does, sometimes longer. It is not a spot treatment so you put it all over your face. It doesn't really have a smell either. It really help my face to stay acne free and prevent future breakouts. After I started using this product I have noticed fewer and fewer random pimples coming up. They also say the active ingredient is super good for your skin too.
Finally a total acne solution

I've tried it all, and Differin was a part of the "all." Unfortunately, the gel increased my acne and redness and didn't significantly decrease pimples enough to compensate for the dryness. I was on Differin for four months before stopping the treatment. I can't help but feel it damaged my skin barrier and left me worse off.

I’ve been using this for about a month now and it’s transformed my skin. However The first couple weeks were pretty bad, my face burned and it was so dry it definitely got worse before getting better. I can safely say now that my skin has never been so clear my poor are minimized and my dark spots are almost completely gone. This definitely works however it is hard to get used to at first.
Amazing!

This works so well for my skin! I had been having issues with hormonal acne and was having trouble clearing it, but this got rid of all of it. I did experience some dryness, but that eventually went away and it hasn't made my skin purge, but purging does seem to be a common occurrence for others who use it.
It works

Toys is kind of expensive, but it really works. It's not a "spot" thing. You have to put a thin layer.

Using Differin has been my biggest skincare regret. I gave it a solid 5 months, hoping to see improvements, but it only made things worse. While my skin did become softer toward the end, I was bothered with constant breakouts throughout the whole treatment. I had to stop using it because I ended up with a lot of pitted atrophic scars and PIE, which I had never experienced before, even after 4 years of dealing with acne. Several months later, I still have these scars. Now, I'm on Accutane as my last resort.
AMAZING 💗💗

I have been using different gel for more then 5 years and has definitely improved me get rid of acne. This product is great for teenagers and adults. I highly recommend this product if you have acne because of how amazing my results have been. My face has been looking so much more clear and healthier since I started using different. This is one of the main steps in my skin care journey and it has made such a huge impact on my skin.
