| Pros: | Differin really cleared up my acne. |
| Cons: | it's very expensive and doesn't do much for blackheads and pores |
| Bottom Line: | I have tried so many products and the only one that's work thus far is Differin. It has cleared up all the pimples on my face but I haven't seen much of a change in the blackheads on my nose or my pores. However, I would recommend this product to anyone that wants to see positive results. My acne did get worse at first but you have to be patient for a good two months to see results (at least that's how long it took for me to see results) |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Dre has used this item for a few months. |

| Pros: | Differin works fast! Easy to use and no residue |
| Cons: | Differin tends to dry the skin out |
| Bottom Line: | I have been using differin for about 6 months and can see a big difference. I use it in combination with Nicomide. I have tried to stop taking it for a week and the acne came right back. Needless to say..I am back on it and saw results within two days. |

| Pros: | does work, but only after a long time (think months) |
| Cons: | my skin does get dry and tends to sunburn easily now |
| Bottom Line: | I had truly horrible acne, and it was all over my face- forehead, cheeks, chin...anywhere but my nose. often it was huge pus filled pimple that took days to go away. differn speeds up the process I think, and reduced to the any swelling. I still get acne though, but it has never been as bad as it was before I started on differn. |

| Pros: | It Does Work! Havnt Had any cysts since started using it |
| Bottom Line: | i have cystic acne (anyone with it will know its a nightmare, especially the scars) iv been using differin for 6 weeks and its brilliant. i still have spots but very small. easily covered with make up (the doctor told me i wont see results untill after 8 weeks so it should get even better!)
i havnt had any cysts (i got one about 2 days after i started using differin but it was only very small & went after a few days! i normally have them a few weeks)
i would recommend differin! |
| Recommended: | Yes |
