Skin Care Review: Differin

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
light, easy to use

Drawbacks
dryness, expensive without prescription

Details
In my early thirties I developed acne and could not get rid of it. I tried almost everything from cleansing, otc products to chemical peels, etc. I had whiteheads embedded in my skin too deep to extract but clearly visible. My skin looked awful and I avoided going to places because of the embarrasment. My dermatolgist prescibed an anti-bacterial pill (doxycillin) but that didn't work...I then tried Differin. It's a gel based cream that I applied daily in the evenings before going to bed. I started to notice a difference 6 weeks later and while I still continued to get minor chemical peels (only way my facialist was able to remove the whiteheads without damaging my skin) my skin drastically improved and eventually the acne stopped.

Conclusions
I would recommend trying Differin
