 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

 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

 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

 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.

 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

 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
