Differin gel was ROUGH for me but I stuck it out. The first six months my face was falling off. I couldnt smile without skin cells falling everywhere. It was so itchy and painful and red. My derm kept telling me it was normal and to keep it up. I ended up at a cosmetic surgeon for a different reason and she told me to reduce it to 2 times a week and my skin finally improved. Definitely do not recommend daily use if this is youe first retinoid!

Any suggestions?

I've started using differin again as I'm realizing I've never really used it properly. So far my skin texture is looking better and I use it with cerave hydrating cleanser and cerave moisturizing cream and it takes care of that dryness. My skin hasn't peeled or flaked once so far in the few weeks I've been using it. In fact I'd say my skin dryness is better than ever.

I've been using Differin for 3 months now and love it. It's so helpful for my acne. I have pretty much clear skin on a good day. I will say I only use it in the morning because when I used it at night and went to sleep, the gel spread around my neck and my eyelids and they was so irritated. So daytime only for me! It does make the skin red sometimes so I do it every other day when I feel like my skin is too dry or too red.
@gokcebeyza 3 жыл бұрын
Make sure your skin is dry before using differin. If you use moistureizer before differin wait for your skin to completeley absorb it then afterwards put differin that way it wont spread. And redness might be from the sun because differin can be irritating with sun. Thats why it is mostly used at night time.

I am guilty of making these mistakes! :(( My derm recommended it daily and my skin started to burn after a week of using it. My moisturizer burned so much when I applied it. Then I started using it only 3 times a week and I only use water to clean my face in the morning. I cleanse only at night. The improvement on my skin was GIANT after one month once I started limited my differin use. Safe to say Differin is my go to acne treatment. Thanks Dr Dray!

In one of Dr. Dray's videos, she says Differin is the best over-the-counter retinoid and that there is evidence Differin fades hyperpigmentation. She recommended using Differin to get rid of sunspots on hands. But multiple dermatologists, like Dr. Dray and Dr. Idriss, say that hydroquinone is the best ingredient to fade hyperpigmentation. You can use hydroquinone and retinoids together. Hydroquinone can be drying though, and you need to take breaks when using it.

Hi Dray, is it crucial to use moisturizer over adalapene/differin after applying it or is it ok to use it on it's own. I previously used 0.1 obagi retinol but used it with moisturizer over it. (only nightime of course). I now want to give adapalene a chance because I want to try another sebum regulating treatment than obagi that is very good but quite strong and because of winter coming aswell here in Scandinavia.

From personal experience: resist the temptation to use other actives (AHA, BHA, vitamin C), these will only increase skin irritation. Took me a year to realize that I was over exfoliating my face. Now I just stick to Differin 0.3% every third night, used over moisturizer and then 20 min later sealed with another layer of moisturizer. All benefits, no side effects!
