I just have a few scars here and there! Its awesome! Its been about a week since it was cleared up..! Hi ... can you tell me what differin is. Is it similar to Retin-A? I've been on retin-A micro forever (in between Accutane). I really love Retin-A and was planning on going back on it, but it is a little harsh. I have a permanent red-ness to my face while on that. I break out badly when I don't use it though (a lot of under the skin type little bumps). I have read on this board that differin wasn't as harsh. What's your opinion? Have you also used Retin-A???

Retin a is more harsh compared to differin. Differin is a retinoid as well. Retin a is stronger than differin though, but if you are looking for something that will do the same thing as retin a and is less harsh then differin may be the answer.

getbehindmesatan 0 Share Posted November 27, 2005 it does an alright job for me, well diff. and an antibiotic (important to note it never did a damn thing for me b4 accutane). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben100604 62 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Differin in conjunction with oral antibiotics did little for me. When I started using benzamycin once a day and differin once a day, things got a lot better. I've dropped the benzamycin now and repaced with with just plain BP4%, hopefull I should get on ok with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy H. 0 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I have a appointment with the derm in December in hopes of getting Differen. I would say I have mild acne with a cyst or two a month. I am hoping that he will prescribe me it and it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow3 0 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Differin is less harsh than retin-a, but it is only equivalent to the 0.025% dose. So, if you are like me and require a stronger dose of retin-a to see results, differin probably won't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
