Adapalene (Differin) Reviews

This works well for me as a preventive measure and for the few outbreaks here and there. I had bad acne, went to a dermatolagist and was prescribed to acutane which cleared my acne up completley. I am now on differin to prevent acne, and its working great!

HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT. My acne wasnt even bad before using this i wsa just really vain and surrounded by beautiful friends. im not kidding, every1 said give it a few months and the initial break out would go and my skin would be perfect- did that happen.. NO it got worse and worse and worse, and 4 months after comming off it its still terrible and left loads of red marks and scars. i dont go out. iv lost my friends. i hate my life. i hate differin.

i really didnt like it it works somewhat but seems to take a very long time to get rid of exsisting pimples and doesnt seem to prevent them.

Struggling with acne since the age of 10, with regular visits to the dermatologist and pharmecy to pick up prescriptions became a way of life for me, and frankly a pain in the butt. I have tried multiple oral medications, topical creams, and diets to improve my acne; including 2 cyles of accutane (which you are allowed 3 in your lifetime). Through all of the years of struggling with nasty acne I have never come across a medicated cream that actually works, except for Differin Cream!!! The only other medication that has worked is Accutane which has some harsh side affects and is VERY pricey. I am currently off all oral medications and Differin has been doing the trick (for a reasonable price). The first couple of weeks I experienced itching, flaking, and redness, but after that you're on your way to clear, beautiful skin. Give it a try!!! What's to loose? Honestly?

I have been using Differin gel for about a week & a half and I can definetly see a difference!! My doctor also perscribed Brevoxyl-4 creamy wash to cleanse my face with. The combo did the trick!! It burned and dryed my skin at first but in about 2 days my skin was use to it. I also discovered that Oil of Olay is the perfect moisterizer to keep your skin from drying out and getting irritated!

it does control some zits and dry them down. but
make my skin sensitive and easily developed eczema... i am avoiding this medicine hehe =)

I have used Differin for over 4 years and love it. It doesn't irritate my skin at all and seems to work pretty well for the most part. I do have occassional breakouts, but that is the nature of acne, you can never get rid of it with a topical medication. It is also a great exfoliant.

I'm 22 and have been using differin for 3 weeks, my skin has dried up a lot but is still red

I don't understand... My face is too damn oily. Not even differin works!

I used differin cream about two years ago. The first couple of months were pretty bad with the breakouts, but after that my skin was completely clear. Recently the acne came back and
now I am starting the process all over again. This time my skin isn't as irritated as before and I plan to stick it out again because it worked well once before.
