Rosieb, OR Nov 8th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Gets rid of blackheads and little bumps, and forehead acne Cons: Doesn't get rid of big red pimples, seems to target the smaller stuff. dried out my skin a little. Bottom Line: I took this product with benzacline and an oral medicaton (menacycline) and it worked really well. But if your going to take this product and you have moderate to severe acne i would take it with another medication, topical and/or oral. Recommended: Yes Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Scottie, Bethalto, IL Nov 5th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: This stuff did well for the couple of whiteheads on my face. It pushed them to the surface so I could pop 'em. Cons: It's very expensive, and has yet to make some of the bumps go away. Bottom Line: I have some red spots with a couple of blackheads under both of my eyes. This stuff killed off some of it, and has managed to suffocate the occasional bump on my face. My forehead has it's fair share of red bumps, and Differin has yet to kill them, although I've only been using it for 4 1/2 weeks. Recommended: Yes Usage: Scottie has used this item for about a week.

MY, San Francisco, CA Nov 5th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cheap Cons: Not useful for big, red, spotty pimples Bottom Line: I usually get HUGE red ones on my T-zone area (3-4 at a time) and it did NOTHING to clear it up. Cheap over the counter Benzyol Peroxide cleared it up better. Recommended: No Usage: MY has used this item for about a year. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Olivia, Vancouver WA Nov 5th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Differn works if you constantly use it. It also makes your skin very soft:) Cons: The first month your very very sensitive to the sun and light such as lamps. NEVER PUT DIFFERIN ON WHEN YOU ARE SUNBUNED IT STINGS VERY BAD! Bottom Line: IT WORKS!!! Some spot treatments to get the acne to heal they dry your skin out and make it so it kind "peels off" but Differin just keeps minimizing the acne until theres nothing left except beautilful soft skin. I have had acne for about 2yrs and i have used Proactive, My Chelle, Clean and Clear products, Olay products..... NOTHING worked exept Differin. I have very sensitive skin and Differin did not irritate it like everything else that i tried. TRY IT!!! :D Recommended: Yes Usage: Olivia has used this item for about a year.

Darina, Brooklyn ny Nov 4th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Really works. It's amazing Cons: Hard to afford without insurance . Initial breakout is horrendous, so bad that it could be used as a form of torture in foreign countries. Bottom Line: Worth every penny and torturous second of intial breakout. Really changes your skin and reduces redness and pores. Yes, it dried me out for the first three weeks and I had so many pimples that it hurt. But it's been two months and I don't hide behind my hair or makeup anymore. I've even noticed lessening of spots left over from previous acne and cysts . I recommend this to everyone who has bad acne. This is not for anyone with a pimple here or there. It's also important to wash with light cleanser and moisturize all the time, I use aveeno because it's gentle. I hope this helps. Best advice I can give is to endure the initial breakout, which lasts about 2 to 3 weeks Recommended: Yes Usage: Darina has used this item for a few months.

Grey, Kent, England Oct 31st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: None Cons: same sh*t Bottom Line: I’m starting to think that there is no such thing as an acne treatment. I have tried everything and nothing works. Most acne “Treatments” are commercial shills, thought up by evil f**k bag salesman, that don’t have a clue what we’re going through. They don’t understand how much acne hurts our mental state. They don’t care what we feel, they’re in it for the money and that’s it. The only thing I recommend is, stop eating sugar and dairy products. That helped me.

Emily, London Oct 30th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Free from doctor. No side effects. Not overly drying. Has not worsened my acne, overall skin is clearing gradually. Have been some periods completely clear, right now I still have some spots though. Cons: Not as fast as I would like, I still have acne after 2 months, it seems to be the same, although I feel that if I hadn't have taken this my acne would have worsened. Bottom Line: My mind isn't made yet. I'll give it a couple more months, but I am pretty sure this isn't going to be the cream where I say <There. That's what cleared me>. You know?

Nick, Milwaukee Wisconsin Oct 30th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It works pretty well but doesn't do a full 100% percent job on treating my acne. Cons: Makes my face dry and turns white when I start working out and sweating. Bottom Line: Its just a mediocre product, I would recommend giving it a try but don't be surprised if it doesn't work perfectly for you.

Alex, Lancashire, UK Oct 28th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Didn't pay anything for it, large tube lasted a while so didn't have to keep going back for more. Cons: Does little or nothing for stubborn spots. If used too generously can sting a lot, incredibly dry skin. Bottom Line: Didn't do anything worthwhile for my acne. I've tried a lot of products over this years but this might just top the most useless charts. Prescribed by the doctor a few weeks ago but hasn't improved the situation under any circumstance. I will stick to the benozyl peroxide as that is faaaaar better! Recommended: No Usage: Alex has used this item for a few weeks. Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Julie, San Diego, CA Oct 28th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Definitely works. No irritation on my highly sensitive skin (no stinging or redness, yessss!) Easy to use, quick drying Cons: Initial breakout :( Bottom Line: I'm 24 years old and had used Differin for about nine years Over the summer I moved into a new place and lost the tube in the shuffle. My skin had been looking great for a while (like, years), so I decided I was over having to do this kind of stuff and didn't bother getting a refill. Bad idea. At first I was fine, but after a few months I started breaking out like crazy, and my pores were more clogged than I had ever seen them in my entire existence. I freaked out. I hadn't realized that my skin looked so good for so long because I had stuck with the meds, and not because I was older. So, I started the Differin again about a month ago. Initial breakout was bad for me in relation to what I was used to. I got at least 2 new pimples a week, but they weren't big and painful and they don't last. It's just clearing out old stuff in the pores. This stuff works, but don't expect to see perfect skin overnight. Stick with it, and you'll be glad you did (& the tube las Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
