Acne Information for Adults

Have you outgrown your acne? If not, it's probably time to see your dermatologist or other physician. Acne is the most common skin condition, and women are twice as likely as men to develop it. As your skin matures, so does the need for a more advanced acne medication that is both safe and effective.

Differin® is a topical retinoid that can get to the root of the problem. Not only can it treat those lesions that are already present on your face, it can also prevent the formation of new lesions. See for yourself – check out our Before & After photos of patients who have used Differin®.

To discover ways to help you achieve healthy skin, use these tips:
During the first few weeks of treatment with Differin®, itching, dryness, redness, burning or peeling may occur. Exposure to sunlight, including sunlamps, should be minimized during the use of Differin®. Use of sunscreen and protective clothing over treated areas is recommended when exposure cannot be avoided. As with other acne medications, overexposure to extreme wind or cold or use of irritating skin care products may aggravate the skin. Talk to your doctor if these effects become bothersome.
