@saffinator, I get how differin thins the stratum corneum, I always wonder what stops it from dissolving away further layers of your stratum corneum exposing the stratum granulosum?. The stratum corne...

Naina it made my face oilier, it's common with retinoids

sorry to hear that jacintha. It could very well be that it was the antibiotics that cleared you up, and since u took a break from them you developed resistance hence they no longer work. Differin ...

most likely naina, it's what happened to the rest of us, so soldier through it

Good to see new faces on here. sorry about my rant, i hate scars. so i took the last 5 nights off differin, my skin calmed down significantly, the redness and flakes subsided. I used it again last...

@allison, over here it's difficult to get a refferal to a dermatologist and will still take a long time. private derms are too expensive for a student. I'm 100% sure everytime i use any form of exfoli...

thanks wiseboy. My diets really clean because i'm into bodybuilding. i dont eat anything sugary or fried. no fast food. take multivitamin fish oils zinc and vit C n E. i don't take any anabolic supp...

Guys things aren't getting better. from week 8 onward I've broken out more, face is constantly red and I've also got some enlarged pores and indents. tried using it every other night, tried a gentler ...

closest and least irritating shave is with a double edge safety razor such as merkur or edwin jagger. Multiblades are irritating, electric doesn't give me that smooth finish and is still slightly irri...

no antibiotics, my GP refused, he said I didn't need them. If by 12 weeks they don't stop popping up i'll probably go back and ask for some. Comedones were my main concern, now instead of comedone...

Heyy guys, I am also experiencing the similar stage where mornings are "less bumpy" overall. I swear, 2 weeks ago, I woke up one morning completely clear. And then, those stupid bumps came back again...

@naina, I've completed 10 weeks today. I was using Differin every night from week 2-9 but since summer came round my face was constantly sunburnt looking (can't avoid sun) and getting irritated. Now I...

naina that's perfectly normal, Differin is just bringing everything to the surface. you have comedones and you also have micro-comedones, which can't be seen by the naked eye and are also the first ...

Wiseboy i get mine from holland and barret. Guys i've decided to reduce my differin use to once every three days, even less frequent eventually. My skin's starting to scar, not PIH, actual atrophic ...

Jacintha, it could just be a 'Random' breakout, earlier in the week my skin randomly broke out, literally over night and continued for a few days and now it's cleared up. Allison I'm using zinc gluc...

@GJ777 for my first 8 weeks i applied pretty much straight after towel drying face (I don't find differin irritating). Some people like to wait some time, 5-20min. It depends on how your skin reacts...

that's great allison, okay for the last few days I've been braking out worse than the IB and things are healing slower, I'm confused why it's stopped working :s im 8 and a half weeks in , i had my ...

update 8 weeks a 3 days. Skin was doing well, so i decided to switch my gentle cleanser to my pre-differin cleanser which is harsher and strangely my face broke out after a few days. so back to bein...

@ginamarie if your skin is okay ish, few clogged pores then the purge should be mild, during my purge I got a few small red bumps, that cleared in a day or two. My deep comedones mostly dried up and w...

Thanks for the reply jacintha trouble is that my skin is oily, clog prone, sensitive and tan coloured so it's difficult to find a high SPF that's non comedogenic, (regardless of what the manufactur...

went out for a few hours on saturday and my skin got sunburnt despite wearing broad spectrum spf30, monday night it all peeled liked crazy, yesterday i went in the sun for only a hour same thing happe...

Update - starting week 7 skin going through ups and downs, some days it gets clear other days have new bumps pop up. face is very flaky, when i wet my face n rub my fingers across it i can feel and...

update day 40 - last deep clogged pore went away, it kinda surfaced so i extracted it, skin a little red around it. still getting a few red bumps some worse than others, PIH slow to fade. the bump on...

making steady progress, @ella86, i started using Differin every other day for the first week, didn't really get any irritation, it could possibly be the BP in the tactuo. @pcosgal, I'm starting we...
