Differin Review

Differin is an easy to apply prescription medication. It helps you to get rid of your acne and achieve better results in general terms. Differin can kill off bacteria, and it comes in either gel or cream form. It uses a 0.3 or 0.1% of adapalene, and as far as we can tell they were the first to use it, claiming to give you the truth about acne and help stop it before it starts.

Differin Side By Side Comparison

The Good

Differin uses a proven ingredient, and they even give you a coupon on their site to help you to get what they call a free trial. It is apparently the #1 prescribed medication by dermatologists, and it doesn't use benzoyl peroxide, which is often cheaper in grocery store products rather than bothering to buy prescription options.

The Bad

Unfortunately, adapalene still causes serious problems with the skin quite similar to benzoyl peroxide actually and including dermatitis in general. This formula doesn't always cause results, and it takes weeks to show even the slightest of results, making it so that you can't even see results in the time that they give you in their "free trial offer."

The Skinny

We would not recommend using Differin. Basically, it has to use such a small concentration and sell exclusively through prescription because the side effects are actually far worse than others like benzoyl peroxide. It won't always give you the results you want, or for that matter the results they promise, and it would be required to use this product for several weeks before even knowing for sure.
