Differin gel 0.1% is a topical acne treatment applied directly to the skin. It contains the active ingredient adapalene, a retinoid treatment that, in addition to its anti-inflammatory effect, reduces the number of blackheads, spots, and acne breakouts. It also helps treat acne by promoting healing in the skin, reducing scarring and swelling. This treatment is a great alternative for people who don’t want to, or can’t, take oral antibiotics to treat acne.

You might also experience irritation if you use more than one topical acne product at a time.

With continued use, Differin Gel will continue to reduce redness and inflammation caused by acne, prevent blackheads, and unclog pores.
