| Pros | Helps keep acne under control Makes pimples go away faster |
|---|---|
| Cons | REALLY EXPENSIVE! Makes red marks take longer to fade Dries skin out Can stain clothes |
| Bottom line | This kept my acne under control at first when it was moderate to severe. But now that i'm using tea tree oil and I've stopped using Differin, I'm begining to suspect that it was the Differin that made my acne form red marks that lasted for ages. But if you want your acne to be kept under control mostly (by that I mean reduced to light acne, not cleared completely), then I would recommend this. |

| Pros | Less acne, clearer, fresher, healthier looking skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | a little sensitvity and flaking on the acne itself |
| Bottom line | So here is my experience. I have been on it for 3 months today. It took exactly 8 weeks to see a difference in the acne. but for 4 weeks now my skin looks and feels so good. I did have a small breakout(which was much less than before and healed much faster) and what my dermatologist said it sounded like hormonal caused. So she prescribed me Spiro. I know that there may be some side effects but I will do anything to keep from getting a breakout again. I can handle a zit now and again but hope it doesn't happen. |

| Pros | Clear, beautiful skin Lightens pigmentation scars Gave me a better self esteem Worked the first week |
|---|---|
| Cons | Burns for 10-20 minutes after applied Flaky areas |
| Bottom line | I feel as if I'm one of those really lucky few who saw results the first weeks and completely skipped the initial breakout. I am 15 years old and have had acne pretty bad since I was 11, it brought me to tears to see myself finally with clear skin! Acne does so much to a teen girls self esteem its overwhelming with a world full of beautiful girls. I would never lie by saying the product worked wonders for me and is improving my entire lifestyle. Before I started using it, I was really scared about all the bad reviews, but I've been through so much I figured it was worth a try. Night one, I applied it and the next morning woke up to results, not big ones, but noticeable. Every night this continued and with every day there were better results. I only got 2 new pimples over the course of using Differin and it was because I picked at 2 of my little bumps:P I know, not smart. I completely understand that this product doesn't work for everyone, but what else can you expect when everyone has their own different skin with it's own special needs. If your considering trying Differin, I say go for it since it certainly helped me out. I'm sorry for anyone it doesn't work for but just give it some time and I'm sure improvements will come. Differin beat up my acne and I will forever love it! |

| Pros | none |
|---|---|
| Cons | it may seem like its working but it actually caused more scarring and ive never had that before. It just makes my buttons scab up, they heal n the button is still there under the skin and forms again. this stuff stucks. ive tried it for 5 months to no avail and ended up with way more acne than i ever had. all i wanted was to get rid of a few blackheads, n now im pock marked like never before |
| Bottom line | beware. if it seems to not work after 4 weeks, please do not persist, your skin isn' puging, it's just being irritated. for those that it worked for, congrats...but seriously, dont lie to yourself n try to get through the "initial breakout". An initial breakout doesn't last 5 months... just sayin'. Plus this crap cost alot of money...and my insurance does not cover. vunda-ba |

| Pros | -It got rid of the tiny oil bumps |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Didn't get rid of the pustules and papules I had on my chin and cheeks. |
| Bottom line | When I began using this product I immediately saw results. Unfortunately, this lasted only for about one week. My skin soon returned back to normal. It did get rid of the tiny oil bumps I had on my forehead which was great but didn't get rid of my big pimples. This product didn't work well for me but I still recommend this product because it vanished my tiny pimples. |

| Pros | Improves acne scarring Improves quality of the skin's texture Improves blackheads |
|---|---|
| Cons | Flaking |
| Bottom line | Very good product, I love it!!! I did not experience IB, this is my regime: Morning: Cetaphil cleanser with a SOFT washcloth (gets rid of flakies) Neutrogena Stress Control 3-in-1 Hydrating BH gel Oxy Clinical 5% BP Neutrogena Tone Correcting Moisturizer with SPF 30 Then my makeup. Night: Cetaphil cleanser with a soft washcloth Differin gel Neutrogena Stress Control 3-in-1 Hydrating BH gel Oxy Clinical 5% BP I firmly believe that this regime prevented the IB and it cleared my skin. I get flakes in the morning and by about 6pm. Gently using a soft washcloth for a little manual exfoliation helps immensely. |
