Hello,

I don't think I've posted anything before so Hi!

I've been using Quinoderm 10 % (I'm in the UK) for many years on and off with pretty good success but as it's no longer made and I've run out of my store of it. I'm now trying Panoxyl 10% Aquagel. It seems to be about the only thing readily available over here now and seems quite harsh but that may be a case of getting used to it I guess.

Anyway I've just returned from the Dr as my face has flared up again over the last six months and she prescribed me Differin (Adapalene), and the instructions say to use it at night. She also said to still use the Aquagel once a day.

Anyone have any experience of applying them both at night or should I stagger them, I seem to remember reading somewhere that they don't interact with each other? I should have asked when I was at the Doc's but didn't think about it at the time!

Many thanks.

Edit: After actually reading the instruction leaflet (always a good idea!) it recommends applying BP or other products in the morning if applying Differin at night.

Yes, you're right - BP in the morning, differin at night. =) Good luck!

Well I would probably stick with BP morning and Differin night but you could mix them if you really wanted. Epiduo is a topical of differin and BP mixed together. Again you'd probably be better off morning and night though.

Ok. Thanks for your help, I'll keep them seperate and give it a go.
