Description
Differin Gel Acne Face and Body Treatment contains adapalene, an Rx-strength acne-fighting retinoid that helps clear breakouts where they start (works deep into pores in 5 minutes), helps prevents new acne from forming, and as a result, can restore skin's overall tone and texture. Adapalene is the first over-the-counter active ingredient for acne in more than 30 years. It clears acne with the power of an Rx without the prescription, prevents breakouts, blackheads, whiteheads, blemishes and clogged pores, and can be used to effectively treat acne. When used as directed, you could start to see results in as little as 1 week, and when used every single day, Differin Gel can help reduce up to 87% of acne in just 12 weeks (Cunliffe et al 1998, Galderma Laboratories).

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’ve used so many acne products and this product is the only thing that worked for me. I’ve been using this for over three years, and I’ve seen a great improvement on my acne. It absorbs quickly into my skin and does not leave a greasy feeling. The packaging is also very smart, it comes with easy to use tube and it is also a fragrance free products, so no added fragrance which makes it suitable for sensitive skin.
Absolutely not for acne-prone skin

If you have a sensitive acne-prone skin, please be careful before trying this product. I tried it with the hope it will help my clear my acne, i also read a lot of review for this products that they said it have to get worse to get better, so I gave it a try despite how bad it’s gone for 3 months. It was nothing but just the inflammed acne, i did not pick the acne myself. It ended up causing itchy, irritation so bad that I could not sleep at night and had to hold myself from not scratching my face. I decided to give up and went to acne specialist. She said this active ingredients are too strong and does not work with acne-prone skin. Now my skin is completely clear. My advice, go check with your acne specialist before using this product.

This product got rid of a hormonal acne patch that I’ve had on my chin for four years. Originally it caused me to break out on my forehead aswell, but eventually that went away and now my skin is clearer than it’s ever been! There is no sent and it is of a gel like texture. Pretty good overall, just give it time.

I never take the time to leave reviews , but if this can save some girls I’ll do it . I’ve struggled with cystic acne for about 3 years now since I started the pill, and literally nothing has worked like this product . I’m not going to lie , it got ugly before it got better . But i stayed consistent and it has worked for me ! I used to have around 10 pimples on each cheek , now I’m down to 2 or 3 on my whole face ever since I started using this product , definitely RECOMMEND
Got rid of all my scarring!

Differin Gel is one of the most effective products I have used to get rid of my acne scarring. It's an unscented, weightless gel! It's super user friendly and I would recommend it to many!

This product is really good. When my face used to break out a lot. I started using this and the next day, My breakouts would look a lot smaller. It has no scent. Which is great for sensitive skin. This product also got me ready for Tretinoin.

I never leave reviews but had to with this stuff. This product legitimately saved my skin! I randomly broke out in horrible hormonal acne a few months ago and tried everything to make it go away, but it just kept getting worse and spreading. I was looking for a different product to try and came across this stuff. I would use it with pimple patches too, and my acne had gone away completely in a few weeks. My skin is completely clear now, and I still use this stuff every night to manage any blemishes and it keeps it all away! This stuff is literally the holy grail for my acne
Good remedy but expensive

I love this but it’s very harsh. I put it directly on acne bumps and it helps take them away! It is very drying and if you feel that your gel isn’t as effective trying only doing it 1x a day or skip a day and it should be more effective again. I recommend cerave face lotion (standard) to accompany it. Also get the bigger size because you get more than double the amount for 2x the price

The differin gel is very helpful whenever I’m having a cystic acne. It dries my acne overnight and instantly smaller. This worked wonders for me!

Oh hey mae - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
while i think this could definitely be great for some people, this was only making my acne worse. I had been having the worst breakouts so i tried this to see if it would help. And while i think there is a possibility my skin was getting better in small ways it stayed red and irritated, the same week i stopped using this and started to focus on healing my skin barrier my breakout and hyperpigmentation have gotten so much better. i have EXTREMELY sensitive skin and this was just too much for it, what i needed was care and balance. and while using this product i was doing it in the best way for sensitive skin, apply moisturizer, the gel, then more moisturizer, and even with that it was too much for my skin
