Two Week Results!
I started using Differin Gel about two months ago and have been in love with the results. However about a month ago I noticed I started breaking out again and thought I’d try this cleanser since I love the gel so much! I have hormonal acne and oily skin so I’ll honestly never see completely clear results, however this is the clearest my skin has been in a while. I use the wash morning and night. I still use Differin Gel at night. I swear using that combination is *chefs kiss*
I decided to take photos to see if this cleanser has made a difference for me, and I can honestly tell that it has! All of these photos are natural with NO FILTER, so you guys can see the honest results!

So far so good!!!
I started using this about a week and a half ago I am in my early 30's and I get acne which is so embarrassing. I noticed right away that it made it less visible and it seems to clear up super fast. My face is almost completely clear which hasn't happened in a very long time. I don't have horrible acne but I do have it. My teenage son though has also been using it and he has bad acne and is very embarrassed by it. I have tried so many different products for him. So far this seems like it is doing a very goid job. His face isn't completely clear but it is 80% better than when he started using it. So far I am very happy with this product and so is my son!!!!

a great acne cleanser
My face has been horribly oily and acne prone lately and I have tried some other products and they didn’t really help so I did have much hope for this product. I have been using it for about two weeks and I can already tell my skin is less oily and my pimples are going away . This cleanser is finally working for me and problem skin I am so happy . I love that differin daily deep cleanser doesn’t have a very strong smell like so many other acne products have . It’s so gentle for sensitive skin . It doesn’t dry skin out and it’s super easy to use . All in all I will recommend differin to all my friends .

Amazing facewash!
I kept hearing about this facewash from different sites and ads on tv on how well this facewash is from Differin and always wanted to try it out but didn’t want to spend $20 on a product I actually haven’t tried it so I was super excited when I had the opportunity to try it out for my honest opinion and review! It really seemed to get in my pores and clean my skin, making it feel amazing afterwards without drying it out really bad. It had a nice clean light smell and just a little bit really went a long way and noticed a difference in my skin after each use and plan on purchasing it in the future!

Leaves Face Feeling Clean
I seem to have a semi-oily complexion with tendencies for dryness. I struggle with finding a cleanser that leaves my face feeling clean without being overly dry. The Differin cleanser leaves a clean feeling but not harsh and tight. Breakouts seem to be minimal. I have somewhat sensitive skin but didn't experience any problems with this product. I do recommend moisturizing after use. I enjoy washing my face and like the results Differin provides. I highly recommend this product if you're looking of a cleanser that really cleans!

Excellent for sensitive skin!
My skin is fair and very sensitive. I have to be careful with the products i choose to put on my face because if there is a fragrance or any added unnecessary stuff in the ingredients my face will be red and blotchy for at least 5 hrs following application. I was so pleased with this gentle fragrance free daily face wash. I was pleased with the amount of foam/lather that was produced. The face wash was creamy and left my skin feeling fresh!

Cleanses my oily face!!
I normally have a oily face, when I’m working around the house or out and about my face will sweat. It makes my face very oily at times, im always looking for new products to try. The differin daily deep cleanser works great!! I pre-wash my face, then I apply the cleanser to my face. I let it set for about 10 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. My face will be so soft, like a baby’s booty. I normally use this cleanser twice a day, morning and night!!

I have oily sensitive skin with hormonal breakouts and after trying so many salicylic acid acne washes I decided to try a benzoyl peroxide wash and I feel like it works better in my acne. I tried topical ointments before but they wouldn't be too irritating. I think this is definitely not a daily cleanser and I use it maybe every second /third day whenever I feel a breakout coming or while systic acne is persistent. It helps make it go away quicker, specially if I use this in combination with Differin gel. I would definitely recommend to anyone struggling with acne. Just be sure to not overuse it and moisturize your skin after using.
