I’m on week two and my acne is definitely getting better , the irritation was pretty uncomfortable for the first 7-9 days but I found a great trick to help it. I wash my face with cediphil gentle wash then while my face is still wet I apply cevae night lotion let it dry then I apply a pea size of differin gel let it dry again and lastly I apply one more layer of moisturizer.

Yes I’ve been using differin for a while now and it makes my skin so soft and moisturized. Even thought it’s a bit expensive for the size I still buy it and won’t stop doing so ever! My skin care routine has become much more simpler and effective. I love cetaphil and cerave products and use their foam cleansers/ gentle scrubs and moisturizers with spf. Besides drinking lots of water and wearing makeup as little as I can :)

..... it is absolutely ok to use benzoyl peroxide with adapalene. It's called epiduo, and it's sold as a prescription. Differin even makes a benzoyl peroxide face wash to use with adapalene. These are complimentary ingredients.
@ArsalanAspires
3 жыл бұрын
Hi, galderma laboratories, the manufacturer makes the epiduo and they have a formulation that uses both. Yes. However there is a reason why it’s still only prescription. Your provider must see you in person to make the recommendation to use both. I personally would not use it until I have the clearance to go ahead and add an extra ingredient like benzoyl peroxide. Yes they are chemically stable to use, but are they still effective when mixed with other manufacturers of both products? This is what I was getting at. Also, because the free-radical reaction of benzoyl peroxide can break down the keratin, therefore unblocking the drainage of sebum (comedolytic), this level of oxidation can lead to it being less effective when used with differin. Efficacy measures as Acne appearance. Differin has worked for some people while epiduo has not. Everyone will react differently. So it’s best to have that consultation first. Benzoyl peroxide comes in 10%, which epiduo and epiduo forte goes up to 2.5%. Using a formulation of bpo over 2.5 May increase risk of chemical burns, which ultimately is counter productive and ineffective. More ingredients is not always better. I will make a separate video that goes into more detail. 😌

Hi Doctor! Quick question. I've seen a simple and effective night acne routine using the following: 1. Benzoyl peroxide wash 10% 2. Differin adapalene gel 0.1% 3. Facial moisturizing lotion You've mentioned that using benzoyl will make the adapalene less effective. What should I do first? 😥
@ArsalanAspires
3 жыл бұрын
Hi thanks for your question. What I meant with less effective is that it can over irritate the face, especially if you use benzoyl peroxide over 2.5%. Epiduo contains adapalene and benzoyl peroxide 2.5%, but this is prescription only, which means a dermatologist must see your skin first before recommending. This is the safest option if you want to use benzoyl peroxide at the same time. Some dermatologists will recommend alternating days, one day Differin and one day benzoyl. Have you seen improvements doing your skin routine that way? I always recommend using the Differin at night as the last step on a dry face, so you can use the moisturizer before this.

Hi thank you for your great questions. Your 1st question: usually once daily at bedtime. Do not use more than once a day. Before using, gently clean the affected skin with a mild or soapless cleanser and pat dry then apply. Question 2: If your skin is too sensitive or gets easily irritated, you can alternate days, on days off you can use the BHA. Just make sure not to use it with differin. It is best though to wait to see how your skin adjusts to the differin before adding the bha to your routine. So personally I would wait wait off until maybe after the skin purge. The benefit is knowing whether or not which product is doing the job. Question 3: This is entirely up to you. On days when you don’t use differin you can exfoliate. However avoid exfoliating to prevent over exfoliation and thinning on the differin day. I think bottom line, the goal is to use the least amount of ingredients to provide the greatest amount of results. More ingredients is not always better. I hope this helps. 🤞

Thank you for your question. Epiduo is an exception as it is an fda approved formulation that has shown efficacy. Combining the ingredients yourself does not create the same symbiosis for the most part. It is a formulation that has helped for some people, but comes with a lot more irritation. It is currently prescription only, which a dermatologist would have to examine your skin and deem it necessary as most cases can be treated without resorting to harsher pharmaceuticals. I hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for your question. Although it is appropriate to combine benzoyl and Differin. To avoid over medicating your face and increasing irritation, especially if it’s your first time using it, I would advise using Differin for the whole course of treatment first and if it fails to provide relief then I would add the benzoyl and alternate days. Others recommend using it at the same time, but the best measure is to have a certified dermatologist look at your skin and recommend a regimen tailored just for you. So that you don’t overdue it. I recommend not going above benzoyl 2.5%, as prescriptions like epiduo and epiduo forte only combine the adapalene at this strength of benzoyl. I’m sorry about the confusion. I hope this helps 🤞

There is more irritation involved and a dermatologist needs to see if it is necessary for your skin or not to add two strong active ingredients that both promote skin turnover. You would be surprised that most people can do fine with one or the other with consistent use. Exceptions do exist however. I hope this clears that up.

Should I apply a serum before or after I apply the adapalene gel? I’m planning to use the niacinamide serum and I don’t know if I should apply it before or after the gel and should I use it morning or at night ?

Hi Brandon, thanks for your question. Apply the serum, and wait until it is fully dry before you apply adapalene. I always recommend applying adapalene at night because your skin is sensitive after applying it, and it is best to avoid sun exposure after using.

Wait, you shouldn’t use benzoyl peroxide? So how dermatologist prescribe Epiduo?? That is a mixture of adapalene and BP?? Also I saw a video of Dr Dray that says that it’s fine to use a BP cleanser before. Now I’m confused. Please clarify, thank you 🙏🏽

Thanks for your question. It may be too abrasive to use facial scrubs at the same time as adapalene. It is based on your preference. I recommend applying adapalene after a moisturizer if you are experiencing irritation. Hope this helps!

Can someone please help me out? I'm on my 3rd week of Differin gel, I have whiteheads (closed comedones) that's like bumps under my skin. I want them to purge and get out of my skin, but I only purged on my late 1st week to 2nd week. My skin didn't get dry, rather got more oily. Now my skin is not purging, nor getting better. Now I use it everynight, I cleanse my face with a Turmeric & Neem (herbal) face wash OR a charcoal soap, then my aloe moisturizer, then differin, and I use sunscreen too. What should I do to make my skin purge? Should I change anything on my routine?

hey doc, i’ve been using differin for a while now but i’m worried that i’ve been using it incorrectly. i was confused about this when initially starting treatment-whether i apply it all over my face or just on the affected area-and i ended up just applying it on my cheeks (since that is where my acne is). additionally, is it better to apply face moisturizer before or after using the gel? i’ve seen some dermatologists recommend the former, while others recommend the latter. lastly, my acne has “gone away,” but the acne scars it left behind are very prominent: hyper pigmentation, skin discoloration (etc). should i purchase the differin acne scarring treatment, and use it alongside the differin gel, or will just the different gel suffice?

Hi, thanks for your question. That’s great news! It sounds like your skin has likely adapted to Differin gel, therefore it is likely you won’t experience topical side effects down the road. Continue to use a moisturizer and sunscreen. Serious reactions are rare, but consult with your doctor if you ever experience one.

How is it for Ròsacea prone skin ? And does differin help somewhat in reducing wrinkles ,like tret does?
@ArsalanAspires

Adapalene, works as retinoic acid receptor agonist used for treating acne vulgaris, as far as rosacea is involved, it’s been shown to effectively reduce papules and pustules, but not get rid of erythema (skin redness) or telangiectasias (blood vessel appearance) Your 2nd question: retinoids in general can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles by increasing the production of collagen. They also stimulate the production of new blood vessels in the skin, which improves skin color, but with adapalene, Its not as strong as tretinoin so they are not as effective in reducing wrinkles as tretinoin; but they do improve the appearance of photo-aged skin. More research is being studied on this exact topic. I hope that helps 🤞
