How do I use Differin®?

Step 1: Wash
Right before bedtime, gently cleanse the entire face with a mild non-soap cleanser. Rinse with warm water.

Step 2: Dry
Gently pat skin dry with a soft towel.

Step 3: Apply
Squeeze a pea-sized amount of the Differin® (adapalene) product on your finger. Dot it on your forehead, cheeks and chin. Spread evenly over the entire face, avoiding the areas around your eyes and lips. If you’re tempted to use more than a dot, thinking it will work faster and better on your acne, don’t! More than a dot won’t work better or faster, but your skin will be more likely to get irritated. Follow your doctor’s instructions; they’re the experts!
