Frequently Asked Questions for Differin

What It Is

Differin 0.1% is a topical acne treatment available as a cream or gel, designed for mild to moderate acne. Its active ingredient, adapalene, works to reduce pore blockage and prevent acne symptoms.

How It Works

Differin contains adapalene, which regulates skin cell turnover, preventing blocked pores that lead to acne. By reducing blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammation, it tackles acne at its root cause.

How to Use

  • Apply Differin once daily, preferably at night.
  • Cleanse and dry the affected area beforehand.
  • Use a thin layer of gel or cream, rubbing it gently into the skin.
  • Avoid contact with the eyes, lips, and nostrils.
  • Wash hands thoroughly after use.
  • Continue treatment for at least 8 weeks to assess its effectiveness.

Side Effects

Common side effects include redness, irritation, and mild inflammation, especially when starting treatment. These symptoms can often be reduced by using Differin every other day or washing it off after a few hours initially. Increased sensitivity to sunlight may also occur, so using a high SPF sunscreen is advised.

Warnings and Precautions

  • Differin should not be applied to cuts, sunburn, or eczema.
  • Avoid use during pregnancy.
  • Breastfeeding women can use Differin but should not apply it to the chest area.
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure and use sun protection.
  • Do not use alongside other topical retinoids.
  • If severe irritation or inflammation occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
