I had mild acne since it was 12 I'm now 28 I finally asked my Gp about it and was given differin for night clindoxyl in the mornings so I've been using them for 5 days and my skin keeps getting super red and sore peeling hurting when I use the differin I'm wondering if this is normal? I'm going to stop using it every day maybe every third day any help advice anything would be much appreciated
You definitely have to ease into retinoids. I started using it twice a week then added a night each week untl i could tolerate it nightly. You will get red and peel the first few months but the irritation should ease as your skin gets used to it. It's best to start slow than to start fast and have to stop due to irritation. I am almost ten weeks in with differin and irritation is almost non-existant. Acne, not so much.
