Description
Differin Gel Acne 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, or maskne, caused by wearing face masks or facial coverings. 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).Key Ingredient:Adapalene

This product works! I’ve always struggled with acne and while nothing will probably ever perfectly clear my skin, this has significantly helped. Keep in mind it’s going to bring everything you have to the surface, and you’re going to go through a stage where it gets worse before it gets better. It can be drying, I wouldn’t use it every 2-3 days especially to start off, and pair it with a good hydrating moisturizer.

If there is one product I would recommend it would be this one. I used to have little bumps all over my face. The first two photos were taken only two months before the last one and I’ve tried almost every other skin care product and nothing else worked. I only use benzoyl peroxide face wash, this adapalene gel, and then the good molecules moisturizer. If you have acne you need to try this.

My skin has pretty much completely cleared up. I no longer have the desire to pick at everything. I still get the occasional pimple or breakout but definitely a lot less. I also use an panoxyl face wash with it. My skin was looking the worst it ever had in December within two weeks of this combo it had clear up.

This product has been amazing for my acne prone skin. My favorite product to use for spot treatment. It also works great under a pimple patch. A little goes a long way, so the tube lasts me months.

This product does work, however it states in the instructions to use daily. I do not recommend daily use as it does make the skin super sensitive. After a few days my skin felt irritated, dry, thin and very sensitive to touch. Also, if you get brow waxes do not use this product for at least a week or more before your wax. I was using daily and ended up getting burns from the wax because I did not realize it was this product making my skin senstive.

Never had anything that worked this well on my face. A great product with great functional packaging and comfortable to use - just be mindful to wash your hands after as I’ve noticed some staining on towels and tops

I use the uk version of differin so that’s why it might look different but I would actually die for this product. I had really bad acne and my doctor prescribed this to me and within months my acne was gone. In the image is the before and after like this product has change my life and I’m not saying that to be cringe it for real has. I literally recommend this product to everyone I know that suffers from acne like you need this. Plus it has anti ageing benefits too. My only down side is that I can’t seem to tan much on my face anymore which sucks but I would rather not have any acne tbh.

Differin is usually the least expensive of the adapalene gels available, so I tend to stick with it. I use this nightly because my skin is used to this and other treatments - if you have oily skin and can stand lots of chemical exfoliating, you may have the same experience. I use about a pea sized amount and spread it thin all across my face because it does a great job at preventing acne and fine lines/wrinkles.
Worth the price and works well

I've been using this for years. It keeps acne and fine lines at bay with regular use. I use tretinoin a couple times a week and this all other nights. My skin doesn't like being without it. My daughter uses it for acne management nightly and it does the job. We always pair it with a basic moisturizer. Benzoyl Peroxide gets added if a blemish shows up.

There are plenty of perks that come along with this skin hero, Differin Gel. It’s known to ramp up cell renewal and collagen production. It gently fades sunspots, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation to reveal a brighter, smoother, firmer, and more even complexion.

Very effective for both treating and preventing acne. A little goes a long way so it actually lasts long despite it being a small tube. This is the only medication that works for me every single time and I love that it doesn't irritate my skin or stain my clothes. No strong scent and very light. It can be drying, but if you use a good moisturizer afterwards, it should be fine.

I have just recently started using Differin and I can already see a difference! I have acne prone skin, and as a teen I would pick at my skin. So I do have some scarring and my pores look huge. Just after a week, my pores have started being visibly smaller!
Amazing

This stuff works like magic at an affordable price. When I have a bad breakout I put a small dot of it on and it clears up my acne relatively fast. Must buy.

Results after 3 months - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
I have been using this for at least a decade. I am 38 now, and in the past it helped with acne...but I kept using it because I knew of scientific evidence of it being great as an alternative to tretinoin. I work in a highschool and the students all think I'm in my 20s (I'm not kidding) Use this with sunscreen in your 20s and you'll thank me later on down the road!

This is a dermatologist recommended staple in my routine. I use this every night in my routine and wake up with great skin! If it’s too harsh, you can even use the sandwich method. A little goes a long way and the directions are very clear about using only once a day! A tube lasts a long time. This is great if you want to reduce signs of aging, reduce scarring, and help any signs of acne.
