About Differin Gel – Acne Treatment
Differin Gel is a prescription-strength acne treatment formulated for individuals with mild to moderate acne.
Its active ingredient, Adapalene (0.1% w/w), is a retinoid derived from Vitamin A, which works by regulating skin cell turnover. This process prevents the clogging of pores, a common cause of acne.
Differin Gel treats existing acne by reducing inflammation and swelling and helps prevent future breakouts by keeping pores clear. It can be used on various body parts, including the face, back, chest, and shoulders.
Over a 12-week period, consistent use of Differin Gel has been clinically proven to reduce acne by up to 87%.
To use Differin Gel:
– Apply once daily: Use the gel in the evening before bed.
– Cleanse the skin: Wash the affected areas with a mild cleanser and gently pat the skin dry.
– Apply a thin layer: Spread a thin layer of the gel evenly across the area where acne occurs, avoiding the eyes, lips, and nostrils.
– Wash hands: After application, wash your hands thoroughly.
– Adjust frequency if necessary: If your skin becomes excessively dry or irritated, reduce the application to every other day.
– Consistent use: For best results, use the gel consistently for at least 12 weeks. If no improvement is seen after this period, consult your healthcare provider.
