this stuff does make your face worse at first, but it clears it up afterwards. It helped clear my skin, although not 100% but still much better than before. Also, there is a period with redness and drying, but it also goes away. Don't be afraid to try it b/c it makes it worse.. its worth it later on... but i guess everybody is different.

It did nothing for me.I used it for 4 months.I guess you just gotta try different thing and find what works for you. I'm trying proactiv now. Differin was quite cheap tho..and it didn't irritate my skin, I don't have sensitive skin anyway... it basically did nothing.

PLEASE DON'T EVER USE THIS HORRIBLE MEDICINE! This is the weakest retinoid of all and does you no good! Use Tazorac if you're going to use this crap. This doesn't work! It will make your acne worse for a LONG time if you use this. Don't say I didn't warn you.

does your face get worse before it gets better with this stuff? my face seems to be getting better but i just started using it...

This medicin brings nothing help for old mans skin problems. Only effect is that amount of fat in the pillow slip increase a lot.

I have not had good luck with this product. I've been using it fore 6 weeks, and although I know that you are supposed to give it 8-12 wks, I am afraid that the acne breakout it gave me will just continue to worsen. I stopped using it on my chin 3 days ago, but will continue to use it on my forehead and nose (to give it the full 12 wks). It works ok on my forhead and nose, but it KILLED my chin! I had NO active acne on my chin when I started, but about 2 wks after starting this, it started breaking out like crazy. Prior to this, I never had more than 1-2 spots on my chin at a time. Now, I have active spots, a couple of inflammed spots, red bumps, and purple discoloration of spots that are trying to heal. I don't know if these are irritation related breakouts or what, but my skin has never looked this bad.

Also, if I use it more than 2 nights in a row, my skin looks haggard and dull (prior to this i had nice,glowy skin - although there were a few pimples, my skin looked much better then!).

didn't work for me.

Product worked great. First few weeks I did have some slight redness, but experienced no initial break out. Been on for 9 weeks now, I'm thinking by week 12 I should be all cleared up. Also, my acne was not that bad to begin with, I'd say mild at worst.

dude i have been using it for 3 dayz and i have concluded it is just bull crap i have it and my dermotoligist is an idiot and i hate her too that stupid B****. i hate her. i hate differin that piece of S***!!!!!

I've been using Differin for 4 years now,and I always have it at hand. It does take time, but I never have a lot of zits and pimples, and they never get inflammed. The only bad thing I noticed on my skin is that it doesen't help with blackheads. But well it's only my skin, and I can see there are a lot of different responses.
