Retinoids are the best topical anti-aging medications
Everything else is less effective. Diroseal is used for reducing redness in rosacea.
Retinoids stimulate epidermal cell turnover, induces new collagen deposition in the dermis, prevents degradation of collagen due to sun damage.
There are definitely stronger retinoids than Differing, like Retin A and Tazorac for anti-aging.

Probably Differin
If you had expanded this choice, to include the other Retinoids: Tazarotene and Tretinoin, I would have chosen either of them, without question.
This is because they are Retinoids. Differin is not exactly a Retinoid. It is a designed drug which turns on the Retinoid receptor. It PROBABLY has strong anti-aging effects. However, this has not been determined convincingly yet: the FDA has approved the other two drugs as effective for anti-aging, but not Differin as yet.
Avene's...
