Different is a prescription strength topical remedy. It is meant for use in correcting cases of severe acne.
Pros
It has many benefits, including that it is effective for not only cases of severe acne but even milder cases. Users usually are at a low risk of experiencing side effects and it is gentler on the skin than other retinoid-based products. This product is known to dramatically increase acne.
Cons
Some mild discomfort such as burning, redness, or peeling might occur when using this product. However, the amount of discomfort depends upon your skin type and these side effects usually diminish in time. One major disadvantage is that this product is available only by prescription which makes it a little bit harder to get.
Ingredients
The active ingredient in Differin is Adapalene. This is a retinoid known for its effectiveness against Keratosis pilaris, which appears on the skin like clusters of red bumps. This case of acne is often referred to as “pizza face” but it also sometimes appears on the thighs, hands, legs, flanks, and buttocks.
Recommendations
It is highly advised that you seek help from a doctor or dermatologist before deciding on a certain skin gel or cream. This one is most likely going to be recommended for those who have more oily skin. However, as mentioned already it is good to find out exactly what is your skin type especially if you suffer from severe acne.
