I read others’ review on Differin having this purging phase where your acne gets worse before it’s going to get any better. I have mild adult acne but I still find it pesky to have it at my age. I decided to try Differin since I’ve tried almost everything anyway, but I absolutely do not want the so called “purging,” and will stop using it if my acne gets worse. Luckily for me, this Differin works! It did not worsen my acne, it actually worked since day one. I used the most tiny pea size amount first just in case, counted all the dots on my face, went from there. I still use a pea size amount but not as small since I’m confident now that this product works for me.
I do not recommend this product because according to the manufacturer, it takes 3 months to see results. I do not have many pimples but I tried it for a few days using once a night only. Despite following all the instructions the skin peeled and I got more pimples than before.
