Re: Does Anyone Use Differin Gel in Their Beauty Routine?

If you peform a Google search for, "The Best Retinols for hyperpigmentation & anti-aging| Dr Dray", Dr. Dray discusses Differin (Adapalene) in depth. I've been using it at night and haven't had any issues.

.1%. I believe that's the only strength that's offered OTC. I started using it about a month ago. I alternate it nightly with the Face Theory (just discovered the brand) Cera-C Pore Reducing Toner and use the CeraQuench Renewal Cream over it.

 

I had some slight flaking during the first two weeks but it seems to have stopped. I decided to try Differin since I haven't been able to see my doctor to obtain a prescription for tretinoin. I was using the PTR Retinol Fusion PM. I was bored with it, found Dr. Dray's videos and decided to give it a try.
