How to do things Differin
Tips
- Use Differin® Gentle Cleanser to keep skin clean.
- Next apply a thin layer of Differin® Gel once every day all over your face—even when your face is clear—for long-term results.
- Don’t be discouraged by temporary retinization that may occur when using Differin® Gel; it should subside after about week 4.
- Add sun protection under makeup without clogging pores, with Differin® Oil Absorbing Moisturizer with SPF 30. At night, help decrease dryness and other signs of irritation with a non-SPF moisturizer such as Differin® Soothing Moisturizer.

FAQ
What does Differin® Gel do to clear acne?
Differin® Gel contains adapalene, a type of retinoid. Topical retinoids, like Differin® Gel, play a crucial role in the treatment of acne. Retinoids have vitamin A activity which helps regulate cell turnover to make sure your skin goes through the right process, creating a healthier environment for skin. Regulating cell turnover helps to keep the pores from clogging and target acne before it even starts. Don’t think of Differin® Gel as a spot treatment only to be used when acne rears its ugly head. In fact, if used daily, Differin® Gel stops new acne from forming, resulting in improved skin tone and texture.
