Thank you!! I appreciate you so much! Love watching skin care videos and all creators on KZread are great but you truly make understanding skin care so easy and share about products that are so accessible to so many people! Sometimes when I watch other creators I feel stressed and insecure because I’m almost 30 and should be getting Botox and fillers soon but as soon as I watch your videos I chill out because sometimes that’s just not realistic or needed. So, thank you again!

Differin gel was ROUGH for me but I stuck it out. The first six months my face was falling off. I couldnt smile without skin cells falling everywhere. It was so itchy and painful and red. My derm kept telling me it was normal and to keep it up. I ended up at a cosmetic surgeon for a different reason and she told me to reduce it to 2 times a week and my skin finally improved. Definitely do not recommend daily use if this is youe first retinoid!

I've started using differin again as I'm realizing I've never really used it properly. So far my skin texture is looking better and I use it with cerave hydrating cleanser and cerave moisturizing cream and it takes care of that dryness. My skin hasn't peeled or flaked once so far in the few weeks I've been using it. In fact I'd say my skin dryness is better than ever.

I've been using Differin for 3 months now and love it. It's so helpful for my acne. I have pretty much clear skin on a good day. I will say I only use it in the morning because when I used it at night and went to sleep, the gel spread around my neck and my eyelids and they was so irritated. So daytime only for me! It does make the skin red sometimes so I do it every other day when I feel like my skin is too dry or too red.

@gokcebeyza

3 жыл бұрын

Make sure your skin is dry before using differin. If you use moistureizer before differin wait for your skin to completeley absorb it then afterwards put differin that way it wont spread. And redness might be from the sun because differin can be irritating with sun. Thats why it is mostly used at night time.

Such a good video. I have been lazy about being consistent applying differin. I do have rosacea and differin and my face get along well.

@@mehejabinshuma3991 reddit has a very good skincare subreddit where you can get advice regarding this. However, I would suggest using it less (every third day) or not at all until your skin heals, then start using it again (also every third day as most people's skin can't handle daily applications)

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been using differin 1-2 nights/week and retinol on the other nights wondering how the heck anyone ever works their way up to using differin nightly. So much irritation and dryness! For the past 4 nights since watching this video I’ve done vanicream cleanser, differin, and Cerave pm. My skin is tolerating it great and is so baby smooth!!

What kind of retinol? I thought differin was retinol

Differin changed my life! never felt so confident with my skin!

Time to go get back on differin 👍🏽 thanks Dr. Dray 💯👏🏽

Hi Dr Dray! Always love your videos. If I am in my early 30s, and I do not have major acne issues (only 1-2 pimples during time of the month), will it still be suitable for me to use Differin for 'anti-aging' ?

I've been using differin for 5 months now. After hearing multiple KZread dermatologists warn against using too much product and advise only applying thin layers to the skin, I've been careful to apply the thinnest layer possible almost every night. Over the past 5 months of nearly nightly use I've only managed to use about 2/3 of one tube and my acne has gradually gotten worse and worse. At first I thought I was just purging for a crazy long time but now I'm thinking I'm probably not applying enough! Thank you for showing what you mean by "pea size". I'll use that as a reference from now on.

@@cKi1 So unfortunately I fell out of the habit of using it a few weeks after that comment. My acne on my cheeks didn't seem to change too much after I stopped. Maybe it got a little worse but I wasn't sure exactly. But shortly after stopping I did start getting acne on my chin again which I hadn't had for months since I started Differin so that makes me think it was doing something but maybe it wasn't strong enough for the rest of my face.

I'm about to start and have stubborn hormonal acne. Thankful I saw this comment and video before starting!

Started tretinoin last week and am hopeful on this new regimen. I saw a success story on reddit where OP had some fantastic results for improving pitted scars and it inspired me to start my tret journey and will start slow. Hoping to incorporate aha bha peel sometime in the future on some days (once a week) where I won't be using it at night. Thank you for the tips🙏

Has the tretinoin helped your scars? My sons both have scars and are really wanting to find something to help the appearance of their skin.

You are the BEST! thanks for everything

Which is better, trininoin or differin? Also, what do you think of using those fine little blades to shave off the peach fuzz that typically grows on the sides of the face/cheeks? Thanks for your help!

you should do a series talking about each retinoid (one per video) one about tretinoin, one about tazarotene and one about trifarotene I know you have a lot go videos on adapalene and tretinion but the other two aren't covered much

Just went to CVS to get only the DIFFERIN ADAPALENE but saw the moisturizer NIGHT & DAY with spf, then the SERUM and TONER, all Differin products. I already have the face wash. I suffered from hormonal acne since teenager years & I am now 41, my old products surprisingly don't works no more 😢. I have been watching your videos since last year and now, I decide to try on this Adapalene. I hope it works for me. 🤞 Thank you for doing what you do! I am your video watcher. :))

You look so healthy. Love ya, gal!
