Comparing Adapalene Topical vs Differin

For Acne Adapalene worsens acne first two weeks but you have to be patient because wanted results may need up to 3 months to appear , I am a drug information specialist at a dermatology hospital and I realized that our patients get less flakes and dryness when washing out adapale after 15 minutes to half an hour , sometimes after 2 hrs that what most consultants in our hospital advice patients with.

For Acne I'm 43 yrs old and I have struggled with acne since my teens. I've tried many over the counter and prescription remedies. About four months my dermatologist prescribed doxycycline, clindamycin in the morning and differin at night. It took about a month before I started seeing a difference. This is the most effective treatment I've ever used. I have no active pimples. I do have some spotting from prior breakouts. My Dr. Prescribed hydroquinone also for the spots,but advised me to wait until the acne calms down before treating the spots. I barely needed to treat the spots by then the had lightened from the differin! Overall the texture of my skin looks better. However I do have 1 con. I have developed a light streak on one cheek.

For Acne I have been using this product since it was made available without a prescription. If you are going to use it, be sure to read the instructions and warnings. This product has a period of time at the beginning of use that makes your acne worse and then clears it. I went through this process when I started taking Spironolactone, so I knew what to expect and I trusted that it would go away - it did. My skin looks and feels fantastic! I still get an occasional zit here at there - I'm pretty sure it's my fault as I'm a toucher/picker/popper. This is an easy product to add to your routine. Make sure to use it at night and wash off in the morning so you don't have to worry about sunburns. I highly recommend Differin.

For Acne I've never had acne until November of last year. Due to large amounts of stress, I broke out all over my forehead and chin. It caused me to get stressed out even more! I went to my doctor to tell her about all the symptoms I've been having due to all this stress and she gave me Differin for the acne. I've only been using it for about 2 weeks now and I've definitely noticed a difference! The left side of my forehead is almost completely cleared up! I remember after only 3 night of using this that I woke up and noticed my acne had gotten worse (this is a good thing, I knew it meant that it was pushing the acne up to the surface to get out). I love this!
