What is Differin?

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when pores become blocked by hair, sebum (an oily substance), bacteria, and dead skin cells. It's more common in people aged 11 to 30, but it can affect anyone.

Differin is an acne treatment available as either a gel or a cream. It's suitable for treating mild to moderate acne on the face, chest, and back. Differin can help with spots, rashes, blackheads, and pimples, whether they have pus or not.

Apply Differin to the affected skin area at night before going to bed. Be careful to avoid your eyes and lips.

It isn't used for treating severe acne.

How does Differin work?

Adapalene is the main ingredient in Differin. Each gram of Differin has 1mg of adapalene. It's a type of retinoid, meaning it acts similarly to Vitamin A in the body, but it's specially made to treat acne.

Acne usually happens when new skin cells are created faster than the old ones are shed. This can cause a build-up of old cells, along with sebum and bacteria, leading to blocked pores. Adapalene helps by encouraging cell turnover and keeping pores clear. This allows new skin cells to develop, helps sebaceous cells release extra sebum, and prevents spots from appearing. Adapalene also has an anti-inflammatory effect, which reduces soreness and irritation in the affected area.

Differin acts just on the skin's surface because only tiny amounts are absorbed.

What forms of Differin are there?

Differin comes in two types: gel and cream. Both contain the active ingredient adapalene, with each gram of the gel and cream having 1mg of adapalene. This means they both provide the same dosage.

You can choose between gel or cream based on your skin type. For oily skin, gel is a better option because it dries quickly. If your skin is sensitive, cream might be more suitable as it's gentler and less likely to irritate.

How long does it take Differin to work?

The time it takes for Differin to work can differ for each individual, depending on their skin type and how severe their acne is. Some people might notice a change in two weeks, but it could take between eight to twelve weeks to experience the full benefits of Differin.

If you've been using Differin for three months straight, it's a good idea to see your doctor to ensure it's working well for you.

What should I do if I make a mistake when using Differin?

If you forget to apply Differin at the right time, there's no need to worry. It shouldn't impact its long-term effectiveness. Simply apply the usual amount as soon as you remember. Avoid using extra Differin to make up for the missed dose, as using too much won't speed up acne healing and might irritate your skin.

Always follow your doctor's instructions when using the treatment.

How is Differin different to other treatments for acne?

Differin doesn't have an antibiotic like some other treatments, such as Treclin. Instead, its active ingredient, adapalene, works similarly to vitamin A in your body. If you have mild-to-moderate acne, Differin can be a good option. It's also occasionally used 'off-label' for other skin issues like keratosis pilaris, which causes rough, dry patches and bumps on the skin.

Many clinical studies have demonstrated that adapalene is an excellent option for treating acne, as it is effective and generally well-tolerated, meaning it usually doesn't cause many side effects.

Is Differin similar to any other treatments?

Differin is the only acne treatment that contains adapalene as its only active ingredient. This means there are no other treatments that work in exactly the same way.

Adapalene is a treatment called a topical retinoid. Retinoids help prevent acne from developing beneath the skin's surface. Some acne treatments, such as Treclin, combine a retinoid with an antibiotic. You can find various other acne treatments in either cream or gel form, but few are offered in both.

Which version of Differin should I use?

It's really your choice. Some people like the cream, while others find the gel works better for them. If you're having trouble deciding, have a chat with our clinicians—they can help guide you. Generally, if you have oily skin, the gel is usually recommended, and if your skin is more sensitive, the cream might be the better option.

Do I need a prescription for Differin?

Differin isn't something you can buy over the counter; it's only available with a prescription. If you're interested in getting Differin from us, have a chat with us about your health. Our clinician can prescribe Differin for you if they determine it's safe and appropriate for your needs.

Important Information

Differin isn't right for everyone, and there are a few things you should keep in mind when using it.

Good For Heavy Chewers So Far
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
Solid quality. My Doberman is a power chewer and I am looking for a toy that he can't destroy in 2 seconds. If a ball lasts more than an hour it is a miracle. It has a sturdy design and is more heavy weight than the other "non-destructible" balls he has. He has only had his ball for one day so we will see how long this ball lasts him. It is the size of a tennis ball, firm, little to no bounce, and seems built for heavy chewing.

Great Product, 2 years and running!
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
It’s been almost 2 years and my dogs haven’t destroyed them yet. I have a Pitbull and a Pit/Cosro mix. They destroy every toy we’ve given them, except these toys. Great product 100% worth the money

Perfect for HEAVY chewers
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
My dog is a heavy chewer. Destroys everything that’s not very hard rubber, hard plastic, or hard material. He LOVES this ball. I think it’s his favorite. Plus, it bounces great so you can play with your dog. Very well constructed- probably indestructible or will at least last a very long time. Easily worth the money.

The only toy my dogs can’t destroy and love
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
I am thrilled to have found one toy my dogs don’t destroy immediately. They have torn up Fenrir hammers, the black kongs of all sizes, the monster k9 stick, nylabones, and they don’t like the goughnut at all (it stinks like a bad tire). This is the first one they both love and haven’t been able to destroy immediately. It does allow little tooth marks, but that’s what makes it fun for them. They are very happy playing with it and I’d say this one was worth every dollar. Update Months Later: We’ve gone through 2/3 now. I got two initially, and one has lasted long term. They still haven’t completely destroyed it. They did destroy a second one quickly so I suspect a flaw in it. They sent me a new one and they took a while, but they did destroy the third to the point we had to throw it away. Despite that, one still remains and our dogs still love it. It’s still the best for the money compared to others. We have two Bully XL’s that are each close to 100 pounds.
