My parents took me to the dermatologist when I entered into my senior year of high school. With graduation, prom, senior pictures and college quickly approaching, they knew I didn’t want my face to be a problem or distraction. My dermatologist gave me a sample of Differin Cream, 0.1% and it has altered my life forever. Thank you!
I have been using Differin Gel for 5 years now, and I have noticed a huge difference. Before going to the doctor, I tried every over-the-counter treatment possible and nothing worked. Although I still have breakouts, and the doctor also prescribed other treatments, Differin Gel has helped keep my acne at bay and has continued to work all these years.
My 15 year old son developed a terrible case of acne last year. We tried over the counter medicines for 6 months, and that was a mistake. He got worse. He used an over-the-counter product (another big mistake) for three months, and things only got worse. Finally, we went to a dermatologist last August (2006) and he started using Differin. Within three months, he only had acne “scars”. He does have a face full of red marks and scars, but those are slowly fading. We think Differin is a miracle drug! He has no acne!
I am 22 and have never dealt with true acne growing up, but recently I have had many breakouts due to stress. The pimples were all over, and they hurt. I used over the counter treatments but nothing worked. So for the first time in my life I went to a dermatologist. He prescribed Differin gel 0.1% and after a week I noticed my face clearing up it’s only been two weeks and my face looks great! My skin tone is even too! I love Differin gel!!
