Yes, it is still safe to use.
During treatment with Differin dryness, redness, burning or itching can occur. These symptoms should be mild or moderate, occur early in treatment and decrease thereafter.
Concomitant use of potentially irritating products or overexposure to sunlight or sunlamps, extreme wind or cold, may increase the potential for irritation from Differin. Use of sunscreen and protective clothing is recommended.
