Differin Treatment – A Complete Review

Today we are reviewing another treatment that is based on antibiotics : Differin .
We will mention things like who makes it , the forms in which Differin comes and what it consists,how it works and it’s side effects.

Differin is made by Gladerma Laboratories , a company which is based in Texas , USA and has a good rating from the Better Business Bureau . The company also makes other treatments for acne like Cetaphil .

The company packs Differin in various forms , but they all are in 45 gram tubes. The product is devided in a Gel version and a Cream version . The Gel version also has two types: Differin Gel 0.1% and Differin Gel 0.3% .  As you probably noticed the difference is in concentration . Differin Cream comes just in the 0.3% form . Also , the active ingredient used in Differin Gel is adapalene .

Differin works by modulating your skin cell development and differentiation and for that reason leads to the control of oil formation and minimizing acne over a long time frame . Differin includes both an exfoliant along with a substance which is a good anti-inflammatory . Research indicates that differin provides best resu when applied to non-inflamed acne . It will deliver much better effects in case a benzoyl peroxide cleanse is applied each morning and in the evening in addition to benzoyl peroxide lotion being applied in the morning solely and the differin gel used at night only .

As soon as you apply the cream or gel , a slight feeling of warmth could occur but rest assured , this is normal . Real side effects include itching , dryness of the skin , redness , moderate burning or a deterioration of your acne situation . These side effects usually manifest themselves in the first weeks of treatment with Differin but if they continue , you should visit a doctor or talk to your pharmacist . Sometimes , people that use Differin experience allergic reactions like severe dizziness , a strong feeling of swelling and itching or even breath problems .
People that have used this treatment did not report any serious side effects but in case you experience extremely irritated skin , eyelid swealling or skin depicmentation , you should see a specialist right away.

Differin Treatment Bottom Line

In conclusion it is safe to say that Differin works to clear up acne , but the downside ( apart from the side effects ) is that it takes some time to see real changes . Some people said that it worked wonders for them and others said Differin did nothing but to aggravate their acne but don’t forget that everyone of us is different . Also , in order to persue a Differin regimen , you need to consult your dermatologist for more information and a prescription .
