Hey Newbly I'll recommend the cream form of differin instead of gel form for the following reason(s): 1. Gel form contains alcohol 2. Cream form is slightly more effective in comparison 3. Cream form has abit of moisturizing properties, while gel form may be drying Hope this helps Cheers piggy_balls
