I have been using differin for about a year for acne, but have been wanting anti aging benefits as well. Of course retin a would be a good option but I dont want to visit a derm. Can I mix a retinol serum with my differin and apply them together for both anti aging and acne benefits?
I use tretinoin 0.1% every night but I find that using a peasize for the whole face + neck on dry skin is not enough, the recommended dosage simply will not cover the whole area. Yesterday I mixed my tretinoin with half a peasize of differin gel 0.1% and this made the spreading much easier. Is this OK to do or am I diluting/buffering the tretinoin and missing out on optimal results? I use the tretinoin mostly for anti-aging purposes. Kind regards.
I am experiencing an itchy rash on both sides of my neck which started within days of using Differin Gel 0,1% Adapalene. (I only use it on my face and jawline, not on my neck.) Might I be able to change my routine to alcohol-and-oil-free moisturizer and face wash and the rash will go away or is it more likely that I am allergic? My face handles the Differin gel very well, without a rash. I have not been applying sun screen to my neck and ears since I don't apply Differin Gel in these areas.
The first few days from using differin was normal...nothing really happen.However,on my 6th day i noticed that both my cheeks burns and sting a little.I had these red patches on my cheeks...so is it normal or am i allergic to it or should i stop using it?pls help!!
I want to start differin and retin-a but i also want to get extractions done. is it ok to use them for about 3 weeks and then wait a while until my skin calms down from extractions or will i suffer withdrawal symptoms from discontinuing it after 3 weeks? is it ok to pause them at any time or do i have to wait after a few months of continuous use to pause them? please please answer
