Hi all
My acne started at age 12. It used to be severe & would not budge for anything until eventually i had accutane 4 years ago and this cured it (im now 28). Over the last 6 months the acne is coming back again on my face & back.
Derm gave me Differin 1% cream to use at night & dermol lotion to use in the morning. I've been using this for just over 2 weeks & my skin is much much worse is this the initial breakout, is it likely to improve? i really feel like quitting. just feel really ugly & fed up.
is this normal with differin? i really need some encouragement to keep going with it at this point
ps. im treating face & back xx
What you are experiencing is very normal. I can't say for sure whether differin will work for you or not but if after 3 months you see no CONSISTENT improvement, then its time to try something else. In the meantime, ignore mirrors as best as you can and do things that make you VERY happy
Good Luck hun!
