“Has to be used for a long time to get result. I had been using for 7 months for residual old scars and indentations after decades of acne: there is some improvement.
I’m going to repeat the course (2 tubes lasts 7 months) from October through to May.”
“I'm on my second month and definitely rate Differin for tackling acne, skin texture, white heads etc.
Before using the Differin, I used a 'pure' retinol for about 3 weeks before switching to Differin so by that point I'd purged already and the purge with the Differin wasn't really noticeable.
Depending on my skin each day I choose either to moisturise with something like Cerave first, waiting for 30 mins then applying Differin. Some days, when my skin feels less irritable and dry, I put the Differin on straight away after washing with a gentle cleanser. No two days are ever the same! I just have to judge what's best for my skin each day.
I'll definitely be continuing treatment for the full 3 months and then will research whether I can switch between a retinol product, like something from the Inkey list, and Differin a few times a week. To keep up the improved clarity and texture of my skin and also tackle fine lines and ageing etc (I'm 31 so need it!)
For anyone unsure about Differin, purging, etc, please persevere.”
