Adapalene (Differin) Reviews

Not a bad product since my condition is not terrible at age 33!.
I have used Accutane (twice in my life at 3 month intervals), this was about 5 years ago. Maybe i should give out a warning to those who have never used Accutane. I have lost about 35%-40% of my hair, it seems to be getting worse as time goes on. Not a problem for me as i used to have very, very thick hair, and now it's just normal thickness. I'm happy about it.

Hydrogen peroxide works well on my skin, Vitamin A doesn't. I think it depends on what stage of Acne you're on. For Canadians, i would suggest you speak with your dermatologist about skin peels/dermabrasion paid by Health Care. It's wonderful.

Tried this from January 3rd, 2005 to February 27th 2005. Did absolutely nothing for me. The first week it kinda worked, then I just had one nasty, red, broken-out face for the next two months. The only thing it did for my face was keep it stable, it didn't get way worse, after the initial breakout, but it definitely didn't help. That's the only reason I'm giving it a 2.

Honest injun, I just stopped taking it the 27th, its now March 3rd and I'm on the Regimen, and I've gotten at least 5 compliments from girls saying how clear my face is. I would recommend differin, but how it works, is it stops the pores from being clogged by shedding skin follicles. If your acne is from abornal amounts of bacteria (as is most teenage acne) than this medication won't help at all. Get on the Regimen.

i only have like 4 pimples and i used a little bit of differin on them to spot treat and it dried up the white heads really fast like 3 days but the big one is still there after a week hmm it works ok.

I've been on differin cream for 3 weeks. Acne has gotten worse, skin feels VERY greesy, calling the dermatologist on monday to see if I should stop it. This web-site was depressing. lol

Was prescribed Differin after 4 months on max dosage Accutane. Didn't make much of a difference. Skin was very clear for 10 months - but am now experiencing small breakouts (mainly on my chin where I used to get very large, painful, cystic acne). Differin does nothing to help. Have now started using the generic version of Proactiv Solution (called AcneFree, purchased at CVS) - 3.7% Benzoyl Peroxide, which is helping.

this is the worst product ever. It dried my face up. Worked no better than neutrogena. it didn't clear up my face at all. maybe it doesn't work on african american skin. I really don't know the problem/. cheep with health insurance/presciption plan

I used the differin cream for 3 months and I swear my face only got worse. This did NOTHING for me.

I used this cream in combination with Clindoxyl gel for little more than one year... For the first 6 months the effects where pretty good... Notthing like a miracle or anything but it cut the acnee down a little...

Today after a year, I can't ever put that gel on my skin anymore, if I just put a very little for a very little time. I flake on the lower part of the face, and it does nothing for the top part!

Now I guess my face is injured from all the chemicals... I will quit for a few weeks, will see if it gets back to normal!

As one girl said to me after I told her I was using Differin, "Well it's not making any Differ-ence."

Differin initially helped clear some of my mild acne, however after using it for a while my skin has gotten used to it and now it doesn't have much of an affect. :/ Sometimes the only way to stop acne is taking accutane. Other things just stop working after a while.
