These work really well on my really bad skin. It is really very non expensive. I have been only been using it two days. I very much love this product and I would sell it to anyone.
Very Much Love,
Ophelia

I have been using differin for about 2 months and have seen improvement. I was using retin a previously for about 4 months and my face was very red and peeling constantly. The differin works better for me so far.

Adapalene did not work for me, it just made my face burn.. I tried it for about a month, and it just made everything worse. I wouldn't recommend it.

This is EXTREMELY expensive. I didn't get red skin or anything, so I gave it a 5 for Agreeability. But, it's like $150 for every tube!

Anyway, it doesn't work that well on my face, but it clears up my forehead nicely.

I don't know if I had an allergic reaction to this product or what—but my skin became red, incredibly dry and flaky. No improvement whatsoever.

I tried this.. I got an initial improvement, but it lasted for a few days. My acne went right back to where it was.

It took about 5 weeks for me to see clear improvement, so be patient. I recommend the cream, which is less drying than the gel.

First I have a question about Differin. I used it for 9 months and it cleared my acne significantly but my face stays so red now. Is this normal, and how long should my face stay red now that im off Differin???? Thanks for any replies!!!!

I've been on Differin for 2 years now, the treatment worked for the first year, but now I have worse pimples than I ever have before, and when I clear them up they come right back!
