Last year at exactly this time I went on differin, plexion, and antibiotics. By The beginning of March my face was perfectly clear and stayed that way until the beginning of this November. I broke out again and went back to the Derm. He upped my differin to 0.3 and represcribed antibiotics, because I hadn't been on them in a few months. It has been a little over a month and my face hasn't seemed to get much better. I stopped using differin for one week before I went to the Derm a month ago and went right back on it when I saw the derm. Is the mdication no longer working? How long should I expect to see results if only antibiotics were added and differin strength was increased? Could it be the season? And do I just wait this out?

It took me 2 months to see decent results from Differin for the first time, so it looks like you'll need to wait it out if you want to see the full effect. If you don't see any results by month 3, then Differin may not work for you anymore, but one month is way too little time for a retinoid to be kicking in. Be patient and you'll see rapid results

So even though I was already on Differin and the strength was just incresed you think it will take 2 months to kick in like the first time i was put on it? also, does anybody know how long antibiotics take to work?
