Differin 0.1% Adapalene Acne Treatment Gel

Banish acne for good! Say goodbye to stubborn breakouts with Differin Gel, the first FDA-approved over-the-counter retinoid. This dermatologist-recommended formula treats acne at the root to help clear pores, reduce inflammation, and prevent future breakouts—so you can enjoy smoother, healthier-looking skin every day.

Volume: 45 g

Why It Works

Differin uses 0.1% adapalene (a next-gen retinoid) to normalize skin cell turnover, keeping pores clear and minimizing comedones. Its lightweight gel texture absorbs quickly, layers well under moisturizer, and is non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog pores or feel greasy.

Key Features

• Prescription-Strength Active (0.1% Adapalene): Targets clogged pores and persistent breakouts at the source.
• FDA-Approved Retinoid: The first OTC retinoid gel authorized for acne treatment.
• Non-Comedogenic, Oil-Free Texture: Won’t clog pores; ideal under daily skincare and makeup.
• Dermatologist Recommended: Trusted by professionals for efficacy and tolerability.

Benefits

• Reduces Active Acne & Prevents New Breakouts: Helps stop pimples before they form.
• Improves Skin Texture & Tone: Refines roughness and helps soften the look of post-acne marks over time.
• Calms Redness: Retinoid action paired with anti-inflammatory benefits helps soothe visible irritation.
• Easy, Convenient Routine: A simple pea-sized amount, once daily, integrates effortlessly into your regimen.

Who It’s For

• Oily, combination, or acne-prone skin with whiteheads, blackheads, and frequent breakouts.
• Teens and adults seeking a science-backed solution at home.
• Retinoid beginners (when introduced gradually).

How to Use (Simple Routine)

1. PM only (start slow): After cleansing, pat skin dry. Apply a pea-sized amount to the entire face (avoid eyes, corners of nose, and lips).
2. Moisturize: Follow with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to reduce dryness.
3. Build tolerance: Begin every other night for 1–2 weeks, then increase to nightly as tolerated.
4. AM sunscreen is essential: Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily.

What to Expect (Timeline)

• Weeks 1–2: Possible dryness, mild flaking, or brief “purge” as pores clear—use moisturizer and go slow.
• Weeks 4–8: Fewer new breakouts; texture starts to look smoother.
• ~12 weeks+: Clearer-looking skin with improved tone and fewer recurring blemishes (consistency is key).

Pro Tips

• Use a gentle, non-foaming cleanser; avoid harsh scrubs or strong acids on the same nights.
• If irritation occurs, reduce frequency (e.g., 2–3×/week) and buffer with moisturizer.
• Apply to dry skin—wait 10–15 minutes after washing before applying the gel.
