FAQ's
Why choose Acne-Clearing Body Scrub over my regular body wash?
Your regular body wash is less likely to clear up acne on your body. Additionally, it may not be formulated to help clear marks that can be left after your acne heals. This unique AHA/BHA complex of 2% Salicylic and 1% Glycolic soothes skin while clearing and preventing breakouts, but also reduces the acne aftermath of visible marks and discolorations.
What is Differin® Gel?
Differin contains the only full prescription fighting retinoid available over the counter: adapalene. It’s the first new OTC active ingredient to treat acne approved by the FDA in more than 30 years.
How long has Differin® Gel been on the market?
Differin® Gel is dermatologist-developed, and its active ingredient — adapalene — has been prescribed to over 40 million people globally for more than 20 years. It was approved by the FDA for over-the-counter use without a prescription in 2016.
What makes Differin® Gel unique from other options currently available?
Differin® Gel contains adapalene, a multi-benefit, dermatologist-recommended retinoid, available without a prescription, to clear breakouts where they start (deep in the pores); prevent acne before it begins; and, as a result, restore the skin’s texture and tone.
Is Differin® Gel dermatologist developed and tested?
Yes, Differin® Gel is dermatologist developed and includes a dermatologist-recommended
retinoid.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology’s (AAD) therapeutic treatment guidelines, topical
retinoids like adapalene are recommended as a primary therapy for initial treatment of mild and moderate
acne, even ahead of popular over-the-counter products that contain salicylic acid. The AAD is the
largest organization of dermatologists (over 19,000 worldwide) who provide public education about
dermatology and dermatologic health.

Makes your skin feel soft & smooth
This is the perfect product to buff away dead skin cells, making your skin feel smooth and clean. I wouldn’t say it gets rid of all blemishes on the skin, but it definitely helps things from getting worse. I would use it after a really active day to help prevent any blemishes from forming. It is more of a preventive product but could possibly become apart of the solution against body acne if used in a multi-step routine. I also didn’t like the ‘daily scrub’ idea. The thought of using a scrub everyday is scary, even if it is gentle. Overall, I would buy this product again, along with an acne body spray and use it every other day.

Left me with clear and smooth skin!
I have been a long time Differin user but have not used this product till now! It has a nice minty refreshing scent to it that is not over powering! I find these products to be very affordable and they work! I tend to get breakouts on my back close to my time of the month and this seemed to help subside that more than normal! There is also an exfoliating texture to the body wash which leaves my skin feeling very smooth and soft. I have had issues with dry skin after using Differin products in the past and I did not experience that with this product even using it daily! I would definitely recommend this product!

not impressed
I was super excited to get this product but it was a let down. I used this product a few times before leaving a review. I noticed that I started getting increased blemishes on my skin on the areas I put it, especially my arms and chest, where I'm not acne prone. I looked at the ingredients, and while this is supposed to be acne clearing, high up on the list of ingredients are paraffin (which can clog skin), and fragrance, which can irritate skin. I wasn't even a big fan of the smell, it smelled of an artifical clean that did not smell all that pleasant after it was washed off. This was a fail for me.

Really helped my body acne!!
I was so excited to try out this acne body scrub from Differin because I've always struggled with body acne. I'm always on the lookout for a product to help me and this body scrub has worked wonders. It has a gel like texture with small beads that gently exfoliate my skin without causing irritation. It has a light minty scent that I find so refreshing and it feels so cooling on body. I suffer from acne on my chest, upper arms , and back and this has definitely made a difference. I'm seeing less breakouts since using it and it's helped to keep acne away. It makes my skin feel super smooth and soft too. Ive really been enjoying this body scrub and will continue to use it for more results.

Smells amazing!
I have moderate acne but very prone to it mostly my back, and chest. I've tried many different body scrubs that haven't really done alot for me. So I was excited to receive Differen and try it out. I received the srcub about a week and a half ago and haven't yet seen a major difference on my skin. To be fair I don't think that's is enough time, so I will try to give an update as I continue to use it. So far I love the smell, and the beads are not as rough as other scrubs. It also doesn't make me feel as dry either. So far so good though, I have hope because I do like the Differen brand.

love love love
I’ve struggled with body acne since middle school and went to a dermo my freshman year to get help, it kinda helped. Finally my gyno recommended differin as an alturnative, I use the face wash and gel. I was getting my normal stock up and saw this and was recently having a back in the day break out that I haven’t had in a while on my shoulders. I’ve only been using this 3 days and my breakout is almost gone!!!! I’m astonished because I’ve tried so many different washes. I’ve always used the Benzoyl peroxide washes on my chest and back as well and these mixed together… an amazing combo!

Worked for me!
Full disclaimer, this stuff smells like you’re putting toothpaste on your body, but it works so who cares? I waited to write this review until I’d used this three times. I’m definitely starting to see a difference in my skin and that’s so exciting! This summer ive just had terrible irritation on my shoulders but this has calmed and soothed my skin and stopped the current breakouts from getting worse. Based on the results I think it will prevent ones in the future too. Also the toothpaste smell goes away once you rinse it off, so it’s not that big of a deal.

Reduced breakouts and redness
I haven't been using this product for very long but I have already noticed a reduction in redness of my current breakout and no new bumps.
Over the past few years, I randomly started breaking out primarily on my back and chest. It has caused me to be self conscious of the scarring. I am African American so the dark marks are very apparent and tend to scar permanently.
Since using this Differin, my skin has seen a major change. The redness from any remaining bumps has gone away. The exfoliating has left my skin feeling extremely smooth. It has not had a drying effect on me at all yet it seems to have dried up any current breakouts. I highly recommend this for those experiencing body acne. It has been a gamen changer for me.
