If you are using Differin, I would not use a scrub at all. It will probably only irritate your skin and worsen redness. Most scrubs contain rough scrubbing particles which can cause tiny tears in the skin. A scrub will not help with uneven skin tone or with redness. Scrubs really should only be used by those with noninflamed acne - and then they should only be using very gentle scrubs with uniform scrubbing beads.

you can't fix that while on topicals if you have sensitive skin, but moisturizing helps. If it doesn't go away in a couple weeks or get better, quit differin and ask for antibiotics only.

While I was on differin i also got redness all over. I dont know if its an allergic reaction or whatever, but theres really nothing I found that could help. Stop using the scrubs though. Scrubbing the skin could irratate it and result in more redness.
