1 | mild adult acne | sever dryness, redness, itchiness, and eventually burning sensations | I was using in combination with Clindagel, both Galderma products and formulated to work together. I noticed itchiness and dryness right away, and severe dryness, redness, and burning sensations after about 2 weeks. I used each for one week individually, and had only mild dryness symptoms. I have not noticed an appreciable difference in my acne when using them individually or in combination. | F | 32 | 2 months | 1/12/2006 | 5 | acne | dry skin, got really bad after about the first couple weeks, but then cleared up really really well after about 8 weeks | It worked great for me, it just takes time, my face now looks great | F | 16 | 10 months | 7/14/2005 | 3 | acne | pretty oily face in spots where topical applied. | It seemed to really help one or two weeks my face would seem completely cleared and then the next week or three I would break out with nasty mean pimples. | F | 17 | 1 months | 6/6/2005 | 4 | minor pimple breakouts | Dryness, Redness | I think it works pretty good for my breakouts. I don't have full blown acne, but breakouts in my t-zone, back, and chest. I put this medicine on it daily and the pimple is gone within 3 days or so. I haven't had any problems with serious reactions. I would recommend it. | F | 22 | 4 years | 2/13/2005 | 3 | pimples | burning, very light peeling, redness | This got rid of tiny bumpy zits on my face, but not regular pimples. I still get those. Also, I think it dried my skin out so much that it gave me some very fine lines. | F | 37 | 4 months | 1/19/2005 | 3 | FOR SEVERE ACNE! | um well ive only been on it for a week but it seems to feel pretty oily at night time my feace is a tiny bit irritaded (red) but it has seemed to help SLIGHTLY and if i stick to it for longer im hoping it will clear it up completely! | ive only been on it for a week and it has definately helped a bit | F | 17 | 7 days | 1/13/2005 | 1 | acne | i hated it, it left me with severe scars. Do not take it !!!!!!!!!! if your acne is minor | 1 days | 12/19/2004 | 4 | Acne | mainly bad dryness. Burning and itching sensation that is felt when applied, but has decreased w/ usage period. Definitely has helped me, although large isolated comedones still occur--yet rare. | Expensive-my insurance does not cover. I would reccommend that anyone at least try. Be patient and be confident. | M | 24 | 2 months | 12/7/2004 | 3 | for acne | Extremely dry skin, and skin pealing off | Skin bleaching | 4 days | 11/2/2004 | 3 | Acne | I am curious to see if anyone else is affected by headaches from using this product. Years ago I was on Accutane which I believe is similar to differin but taken orally rather than topically. Accutane caused headaches while I took it. Since I began applying Differin, I have noticed a recurrence of headaches. I have also noticed that I have broken out in areas where Differin is not applied. That is, I have used Differin on my face but not on my chest; my chest has broken out while my face has improved. | It has certainly helped where it has been applied. My skin looks much better and it has caused no real irritation to the skin. You use a very small amount of the medication which is nice since it is very expensive and most insurance companies do not cover it for those of us suffering from adult acne. | M | 37 | 60 days | 7/19/2004 | 1 | acne | itchiness, burning, skin irritation | very uncomfortable and painful, don't recommend | M | 16 | 14 days | 7/13/2004 | 1 | acne | severe rash, redness, itchiness, very harsh product | F | 26 | 1 days | 4/13/2004 | 5 | acne | none | great | M | 22 | | 2/27/2004 | 4 | acne | Dryness, redness, irritation and flare up of underlying pimples.(initially) I had to skip days in between to decrease the irritation. In the winter I also have to cut back. | It creates a very smooth healthy appearance to the skin if you stick with it. | F | 43 | 2 years | 2/22/2004 | 4 | acne | some drying...seemed to open my pores then scar them somehow to where there is a hole..but minor | F | 33 | 45 days | 12/9/2003 | 5 | Acne | None | excellent product! | F | 36 | 5 days | 10/13/2003 | 5 | Acne | Slight dry skin in the beginning of treatment. | F | 24 | 18 months | 7/2/2003 |
