Don't go by the reviews, everyone reacts differently to it, i never had any problems whatsoever using differin gel, if you're still in doubt you can definitely use it every other night and then later when you think its fine use it every night. Remember to use a very gentle cleanser while using differin, that'll help minimise the irritation, if any.

Thank you for responding. Did you use it every night? I think I'm going to try every other night or every third. It took my skins ages to settle with benzoyl peroxide so I'm guessing it might take a while to get used to differen too

Stick with differin you will eventually see results! do not give up too early.
