Ive been using differin for about 2 weeks, Im scheduled to see a dermatologist on March 31st. I was on accutane about 3 years ago and my acne cleared up and my skin was looking good around thanksgiving is when I had some very small breakouts but then after December my face just kept getting new pimples everyday. I finally decided to schedule me an appointment with the dermatologist and I swear each week that its getting closer to the appointment my skin is just keeps getting worse. I cant tell if this is a purge or if this is my skin telling me Differin is not working out. The pictures is what my skin looks like right now.

Retinoids aren't supposed to give you a purge. I would consult with your doc.

Also, have you had your hormones checked?
