How long does it take to see results when using Differin Gel?

Differin Gel is formulated with Adapalene Retinoid, which works deep into pores in 5 minutes. When consistently applied to the full face, you may start to see results in as little as 1 week with best results after 12 weeks.

Can I use Differin Gel if I have sensitive skin?

Differin Gel includes Adapalene an ingredient shown to have improved tolerability resulting in less redness and skin irritation. Apply once daily to dry skin after cleansing. Stop use and consult a dermatologist if irritation becomes severe.

How often should I apply Differin Gel each day?

Use once daily (AM or PM). Clean skin gently and pat dry before applying. Cover the entire face with a thin layer. Do not use more than once a day. Applying more than directed will not provide faster or better results and may worsen skin irritation.

Can I use moisturizer with Differin Gel?

Moisturizing is essential in supporting the skin barrier when using Differin Gel and can help to combat excessive dryness or irritation. Apply Differin Gel to clean, dry skin then follow with non-comedogenic moisturizer and SPF in the AM.

Does Differin Gel cause purging or make acne worse before it gets better?

Acne may appear to worsen within the first few weeks of use as Differin Gel accelerates skin cell turnover. Continue treatment as directed; symptoms should subside between weeks 2-4. If severe irritation occurs stop use and consult dermatologist.
