A dermatologist's perspective
How is Differin® Gel different?
Differin® Gel is the newest advancement in acne treatment available without a prescription in over 30 years.- Dr. Adam Friedman
Differin® Gel isn't like other acne treatments you've tried. This is an adapalene gel retinoid, an Rx-strength over-the-counter acne treatment with clinically proven results to be as effective and less irritating than other retinoids such as tretinoin and tazarotene. Adapalene, an ingredient created by Differin, was the first ingredient approved by the FDA for over-the-counter use in more than 30 years.

FAQ

You’ve seen — and probably used — “fast-acting” treatments that “work in 4 hours,” or promise “overnight success.” If those products did what they said, you wouldn’t be reading this right now. Differin is different. In clinical studies, patients reported up to an 87% average reduction in acne lesions by week 12. Continued daily use will lead to increased reduction. Using Differin in your daily routine puts an end to the frustration of treating acne only to have new acne pop up somewhere else. Learn more about the process here.
