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.

Worked for about the first week, then just stopped. This is the third topical perscription acne medication i've gone through, and they just don't seem to work.
