1. What is stronger, green cream or Differin .3??

2. After you apply Green Cream , what texture is your skin? ( dry, oily, matte, ready for makeup?)

Hi-This is my experience with GC
1-Differin is stronger; GC is over the counter retinoid, so it it will be weaker then any prescription retinoid. The benefit of GC is that it can be easier on your skin as it is more gentle then the prescription retinoids.
2-Depending on your skin is how it feels-for me my skin feels moisturized and ready for make up but you do have to wait at least 30 mins to apply make up, to let the GC soak into his skin.

Ive taken Tretionoin 0.1% and then switch to Green Cream (was on 6 now on Level 9). The Level 9 is pretty strong, it overdrys my skin, but after I dont use it for a couple of days and my face balances out again its better. Dont know if this helps but that is just my experience.

I've been on Level 3 for 3 weeks now and I'm moving up to Level 6. My skin has tolerated GC very well. My acne is basically hormonal in nature and is pretty mild. I'm using GC to improve the overall texture of my skin and to get rid of some old blackheads. Did you purge when using GC? I haven't purged yet so I'm hoping it won't happen.

Appreciate your input.

I started out on GC level 6 and didn't feel any discomfort at all. A week after I started on GC level 9 and again didn't feel any discomfort. If I had to do it over again I would have started on level 9.
