Ok, so ive been applying differin for 5 months and I'm going to stop using it. I have stopped using minocycline for 5 weeks. If I were to stop using differin today, how long would i have to wait till i can start using lower spf to get a tan. They have recommended a 15spf when using differin and going out into the sun. Is this due to my skin being thin cause of the differin? How long will it take to get thicker? Thank you for your time.

Why are you going to stop using Differin? I am interested in trying Differin but my doctor says it cannot be used during pregnancy.

I'm on my last bottle and it isn't as effective anymore as was the combination with minocycline. Back when i used it combined with minocycline, i stayed clear for a good period of time. When i discontinued minocycline i get a few whiteheads here and there. By the way i only ahve mild acne for a 19 year old - its not that bad. I want to get off all meds and see how i go with a healthier diet. Ive been on a healthy diet but haven't seen any results. Also, im going to try some glycolic acid and moisturizer that I have found on Wynnes page. I wanted to use the Aqua one but unfortunately i'm not too sure where i can buy it in Australia.
