Does Differin work like Retin-A and reduce pore size?

[xkaboo 0]

I got switched from tretinoin to Differin .03% because it was supposedly stronger.

I'm wondering, will I get the benefits that I would have gotten from Retin-A .. since Differin is.. um.. artificially made??

Like will pores minimize while on differin?

You should see very similar results. I asked my dermatologist a few months back about whether differin works just like tretinoin since it is synthetic and not vitamin a derived. She said yes. It seems to be doing that for me. I love Differin so far, been on it about 4 months. Good luck!
