MuffinBunny 1 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hi all My acne started at age 12. It used to be severe & would not budge for anything until eventually i had accutane 4 years ago and this cured it (im now 28). Over the last 6 months the acne is coming back again on my face & back. Derm gave me Differin 1% cream to use at night & dermol lotion to use in the morning. I've been using this for just over 2 weeks & my skin is much much worse is this the initial breakout, is it likely to improve? i really feel like quitting. just feel really ugly & fed up. is this normal with differin? i really need some encouragement to keep going with it at this point ps. im treating face & back xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissSac17 159 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I was on Differin before Christmas and was on it for about a month, I experienced this too. So I do think it is normal. Please don't give up hope with it. I was going mad when this happened to me though, like you then came across this: Please watch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leelowe1 1062 Share Posted April 13, 2013 What you are experiencing is very normal. I can't say for sure whether differin will work for you or not but if after 3 months you see no CONSISTENT improvement, then its time to try something else. In the meantime, ignore mirrors as best as you can and do things that make you VERY happy Good Luck hun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
