The Power to Control Acne

So it has been two months since I started using Differin® Gel to help control my acne.

For years, I have struggled with problem areas on my face, particularly in my hairline and jawline. Stress was a major factor in my breakouts, but hormonal changes could also trigger a breakout. It was not only embarrassing, but it was also frustrating.

Over the years I have tried different washes, creams, and gels with only marginal results. It was time to try something different. It was time to try Differin® Gel.

In the past, Differin® Gel was only available as a prescription, but now it is the first and only prescription strength retinoid now available over the counter for clearing and preventing acne. After 30 years, Differin® Gel is changing the OTC acne industry.

Differin® Gel is different than any of the spot treatments I’ve tried in the past. To get the best results from Differin® Gel, it is best to use a thin layer all over the face once a day, every day. Please use caution when using Differin® Gel with more than one acne treatment or glycolic acid product as this could lead to irritation.

Differin® Gel works by clearing breakouts where they start (deep in the pores) preventing breakouts before they begin, and as a result, restores skin’s texture and tone.

During treatment, it is important to continue cleansing and moisturizing your face.
It’s important to remove your makeup and wash your face both at night and in the morning using a non-irritating, non-drying cleanser such as Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleanser.
This will remove any dirt your skin has accumulated during the day.

Using Differin® Gel

Using Differin® Gel was really easy. After preparing and cleaning my skin:

I applied a thin layer of Differin® Gel all over my face and onto the problem area under my chin.
I did experience some mild drying of my skin during the Differin® Gel treatment, so I used Cetaphil® Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 to help with the dryness.
I kept applying Differin® Gel daily so I could get the full effect of its acne-fighting strength.

I am so excited that I was able to find a product that would help control my acne. Now I can feel confident to go without makeup and not have to worry about embarrassing acne.
