Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

Hi everyone!

so basically i have previously been on Accutane about 3-4 years ago with great results, but about 3 or so months ago i went to the dermatologist because i wanted to clear some mild, but persistent acne and was prescribed Differin. I've been on this for a good 3 months but my face looks absolutely horrible. by mild acne is now in places that i was previously clear, and I've got huge acne blemishes all around my cheek. My skin is very dry and I've got a rash on both sides of my cheek that looks like eczema, it is extremely red, sore, flaky and itchy. i don't know if i should stick around with this treatment. its just getting worse and worse. has anybody experienced this and am i better off just getting off the treatment?

Maybe your skin needs a break, don't use differin for like a week and see what happens

I am on differin and i'd say this would be normal in the first month but it seems unusual this far into your treatment. Maybe give it a break and see what happens?
