ABOUT DIFFERIN®
About Differin® (adapalene) Products
Differin® (adapalene) Products are proven medicines that get deep into pores to help clear the acne you have and keep new acne from starting. The Differin® Product ingredients work under the skin’s surface at the source of the problem.
How Does It Work?
When Differin® Products absorb into your skin, they begin to normalize the skin cells that clog pores. The result? Differin® Products get deep into pores to help clear the acne you have and keep new acne from starting.
Which Differin® Product Is Right for Me?
Differin® Products come three ways: two different gel strengths and a cream (only a doctor can determine which is best for you.) Whatever form you use, Differin® Products help clear pimples.
