Differin® (adapalene) is an over-the-counter topical retinoid used for the treatment of acne. It may also be used for the purpose of so-called “anti-aging,” as it helps to minimize and delay the premature visible signs of aging (uneven skin tone & texture, dullness, sagging skin, fine lines & wrinkles).
It is a suitable, if not ideal, treatment option for those who either don’t have access to a prescribing physician (a requirement for obtaining tretinoin), as well as for those who find tretinoin to be intolerable due to its extremely harsh side effects.
I’ve been using adapalene since before it became available OTC – it used to be sold under prescription only – so I have many years (half my life) of tried and true experience with this product. I recommend it to anyone who wishes to introduce a retinoid into their skincare routine.
The best part about Differin® is that you can achieve the same results using it as compared with prescription-strength tretinoin; only with longer treatment time and milder side effects (making it more suitable for sensitive or highly reactive skin types).
I encourage you to explore this topical treatment option. I’ve found it to be not only highly effective but a pleasure to use. It is one of the reasons I continue using it and singing its praises.
