| Pros | brings clogged pores to surface so you can easily wash away dirt |
|---|---|
| Cons | reddness, flushing, rosacea, still broke out, sunburn-like face 24/7 |
| Bottom line | I used differin from March 2009-June 2009. Every bad side effect, I had. The worst is the 24/7 sunburn look and the fact that my face was itching/burning all the time. When i'd put lotion on my face it would be very oily and shiny. I had no idea what lotion to buy.. i nearly bought all the lotions people told me to get.. spf 50 and one was spf 70+. And, when i'd put lotion on all it does is make me have a very white (ultra pale) skin. I have a fair complexion to begin with. I tried using it sporadically, but that did nothing. I still had the sunburn like effect. I was also very sensitive to the sun, indoor sunlight.. you name it! I stopped using Differin in June 09 and I still have reddness and of course acne and acne scars. I have no idea what to do.. I thought BP and Proactive would work but it hasnt done anything for me these past few months. |

| Pros | it will clear up most acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | it dried out my skin to the point of pain and made me extremely sensitive to the sun. |
| Bottom line | it will clear up most acne, but it will dry up your face painfully. you will become very sensitive to the sun. it's much too harsh for sensitive skin. |

| Pros | feels good on skin, doesnt smell terrible like other products, isnt overly drying, |
|---|---|
| Cons | does cause mild dryness, differin being a topical retinoid it does cause an initial breakout but even then im not breaking out as much as normal |
| Bottom line | ive only been using differin for two weeks and it seems to be helping although i am stil in the initial breakout stage, ill continute to use this product for the recommended time frame of eight to twelve weeks.. |

| Bottom line | I was on accutane for 6 months about 5 years ago which completely cleared my skin and then 2 years later it started getting bad again but not nearly as bad as it WAS. My derm prescribed Differin which I used twice a day, sometimes once a day if my skin was extra dry and I went on levora birth control pill. I did not notice a huge difference at all. I would say my face went from 6-7 pimples at a time to 3-5 pimples at a time. Needless to say I lost my insurance and it became VERY expensive so I stopped the Differin after almost a year but stayed on the birth control. It did not get any worse so I'm think it was the levora more than the Differen. |

| Pros | My scars and red/purple spots are reducing |
|---|---|
| Cons | cant find any yet, though it is said to worsen acne for the first few weeks, not for me, my skin is not sensitive, did not get red or burn when i used Benzyol peroxide aswell |
| Bottom line | Use a pea sized amount, use more and it will itch more. Dont go to commercial anti acne shops, go to a skin clinic or centre (government ones) they are much cheaper, and they help alot more i went to two commercial anti acne shops and they've worsen it for me but thanks to a skin clinic i found a few month back, im getting much better |

| Pros | Been using it for 6 months, has cleared up my skin nicely with no side effects. I didn't have an initial breakout or any irritation but I had very mild acne. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None related to the product itself. The cost is very prohibitive for me since I don't have health insurance, about $200 a tube. |
| Bottom line | Worth it! My skin is nice and clear now. |
| Recommended | Yes |

| Acne severity | very light |

| Pros | Cleared up my Acne, easy to use, does not dry out my face |
|---|---|
| Cons | Occasionaly still have breakout, but probably due to hormones. |
| Bottom line | Would definetly recommend to anyone who has had trouble with acne. I started using Differin while I was taking Minocycline and slowly went off the Minocycline and never broke out, which was a miracle. |

| Pros | Goes on easily, does not make skin dry, and washes off easily. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Makes acne worse before it gets better. Causes a little bit of redness on cheeks and nose area. |
| Bottom line | I have been using Differin for about a year and a half now, and i like it. It doesn't irritate my skin and i have cleared up very nicely. I still get occasional breakouts and have had to go on Clindamycin and i just started acanya to clear up my t-zone. Other than that, the results were great. |
