    I used Retin-A for years and it dried my skin out like crazy. Even the lowest strength dried out my skin to the extent that even using a Buff Puff to exfoliate still didn't remove all the flakes. A...

    Differin is a mystery to me. I have the cream and the gel. Neither produced good enough results for me to continue asking for a prescription for it. I have been using it for months and months and...

    After dealing with volcanic, cystic acne unsuccessfully, I was prescribed the cream version of Differin. While I didn't notice purging per se, my skin initially got really, really dry (almost...

    I was prescribed this to treat my adult ownset acne when Proactive no longer was affective for me. I expected to purge on Differin gel and I did. However, the "purging" never stopped. My skin...

    Im using the gel version, and only started using it a week ago, so I will update later. I like it so far, the gel spreads nicely and dries quickly. It dries silky soft too, I was expecting it to...

    Wow, I really like this in the cream version. I'm on Accutane, but after months, I was still getting big cysts and small zits- so frustrating! I had just given up until trying Differin. It's...

    Great stuff! Has turned my skin around 100% although it's not so good for hyperpigmentation caused by acne scars. I think Retin A may be better for that but will include bleaching cream soon into...

    I was on Differin for two months. My face was very sensitive while I was on it and I was still "purging" after week 6. My breakouts also left a lot of dark marks on my face, which I hated. I went...

    Differin gel saved my skin! This is a godsend for those who have reduced their acne naturally by drinking lots of water, eating well, and getting regular exercise (which reduces stress). Once the...

    My dermatologist gave me this prescription as maintenance after I finished Accutane. It has done an excellent job of keeping me from breaking out, it doesn't dry out my skin so it's flaky (I have...
