Adapalene (Differin) Reviews

I had been on Differin for 6 months. I really hasn't work on my face. My acne, at first, flared up very noticably during the first three months; little whiteheads developed into big cystic lesions. My doctor said the medication was clearing everything underneath the skin surface. So I waited and continued following his instructions. During the next three months my face would clear up momentarily and then flare up even worse. Before starting the Differin, I used Proactive, and only had mild acne. I wanted to try something different to alleviate the small the occasional pimple that I would get so I tried the Differin, what a mistake! My acne has never been so bad. Before I had an occasional pimple, now get three or four cystic ones at a time constantly for the past six months. I have since threw my tube of Differin in the garbage and will never use it again. I figure six months was enough, going back to Proactive

Differin has worked well in improving my skin's texture, but not the acne. It is'nt powerful enough to control my acne. Although I am satisfied with it considering I was previously using it in conjunction with doxycicline anti-biotics and currently using it with accutane. My skin is really beginning to look normal again. No pimples or redness and my scars are gradually fading. Did you know that there is such a thing as "compassionate accutane"? It's pretty self explanatory. I had really severe cystic acne and no insurance. I attempted to purchase accutane as my Dr. strongly suggested, but came to find out that I really could not afford the entire treatment. So my Dr. submitted an application to the pharmecutical co. and about 6 wks. later, I had a 5 month supply of accutane waiting for me at the Dr.'s office. I am so grateful!

it is looks like its clearing it, feels like its clearing up but you know what it isn't but later after 6 weeks it did get alot better then diappeared

I have tried Differin cream, gel and solution on my back (my problem area). It initially helped, but nothing special. Then, it did nothing. I actually felt like it made my skin more greasy.

I started using it about 2 months ago and it seems to be clearing up my skin. I still have red blotches, but probably rather have those than pimples. It does make my face dry sometimes though, just wondering what a good moisturizer is. I don't want to use something that will dry my face out worse to cause it to break out again.

I have been using differin gel with a combination of doxycycline antibiotic and amoxicillin for 5 months. It helps but there is still no permanent cure to acne.I think my scars look more red after every night application. I Drink a lot of water, also apply lemon and cucumber juice on my face to help the scars to fade. I am very upset with the results of medication like proactive, elicina and retinol A. I dont ever want to try accutance, but zenmed acne medication seems worth a try! what do u think?

This was a miracle for me everytime I broke out. Listen this isn't a quick fix but MY GOD if you stick it out past the intial break out (usually after the first 2 weeks and lasts a month maybe two) your skin becomes radiant soft smooth and near perfect TRUST ME. I don't ever want to stop using it I made that mistake because I thought my skin was perfectly fine within6 months BAM lol but I truly recomend the Diff Lotion for those with dry skin and on accutane... Diff Solution for deep cystic acne while on an oral antibiotic...and the gel for maintnaince

I have mild acne and I used this for 4 months and had great results. My skin is smooth and most of the reddness is gone. I've been off for about 6 weeks and it looks even better. I have an occasional pimple, but very small. I had redness, peeling and an increase in acne for the first few weeks on it, but after that it's all been good! Good luck to anyone who tries this product.

it works! it really does

its really good combination with duac . . .it cleared my skin fast and it makes the ance less noticable!! im also on the doryx pill . . ive noticed so much improvement!
