Thats awesome! Should give people another topical route to rely on before spending hundreds of dollars on a dermatologist.

Wow that is pretty cool. By this logic Epiduo should be granted OTC too since it just combines benzoyl peroxide and differin

I agree!

BTW can I ask what percent retinoid and product you use?

Such great news :)
I used to use a Differin 0.2% gel prescribed by the dermatologist daily, but now I'm not seeing him I only use BHA and BP gel. Seriously contemplating to go back to using Differin instead of BP since BP is too drying and harsh on my skin (as a preventive treatment)

Differin gel will be available soon mid-January 2017 at mass retailers, drugstores, and online! The pricing is $14/30 for a 15/45g tube. This is good news for those who don't want to see a dermatologist or primary care physician to get a prescription-strength retinoid.
