Hello :) I'm 21 year old male. I've used differin 0,1% to treat my mild-moderate acne for 8 months. My acne has been improved, but my face is always red and sometimes peels when the weather is cold and dry :( I use differin everyday at night, 30 mins after washing my face with warm water. My questions: Should I continue using differin? If i use it less often ( once 2-3 days), my face is less red?
Thanks.

Differin is a peeling agent and a lot of people experience the redness you describe. The only thing I can really suggest is to make sure you take really good care of your skin, and keep it moisturized. Along with this you could start using it as less-often as possible without having you break out again, like you said. Also be sure to drink lots of water (:

Did the using differin every third night help the redness? I've just started but I have major redness and it burns redder when I moisturize
