What makes Differin Gel unique from other options currently available?

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.

Is Differin Gel FDA approved?

Yes, Differin Gel (adapalene 0.1%) is FDA-approved for over-the-counter treatment of acne (acne vulgaris). For more than 20 years, doctors have prescribed the retinoid found in Differin Gel to over 40 million people globally.

I’ve heard salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are also effective treatments for acne. How are retinoids different?

Adapalene is the newest advancement in acne treatment available without a prescription in over 30 years; it’s able to effectively target two causes of acne. Differin Gel clears redness and inflammation associated with acne and helps prevent pimples, blackheads and clogged pores before they occur.

Adapalene vs. other over-the-counter acne treatments

Description:

Used daily, Differin has been cited as capable of reducing acne up to 87% in just 12 weeks. The average person probably has no idea about Differin, its efficacy, or the workaround, but the life hack seems to be common knowledge amongst dermatologists

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.
