Differin Reviews: Treatment Experiences from Acne Sufferers

If you’re considering using Differin to treat your acne, you’ll probably want to know more about this popular gel acne treatment. This is where Differin reviews from real users can come in handy.

People in the medical field can approach treatment very clinically — they think about whether a particular medicine will resolve a certain issue, and what complications may arise along the way (such as side effects). This grants a lot of important insight, but it doesn’t factor in everything a potential user might want to know about investing in a course of treatment.

This is really important when it comes to acne treatments like Differin, because skin treatments can have radically different effects in different cases. If you don’t know what to expect, or which experiences are normal (and how they tend to resolve), you may have a hard time making the most of your treatment.

That’s why it’s important to read Differin reviews before you buy Differin Gel or cream. Below you can find reviews by people who have used the product. We’ve included both Differin gel reviews and Differin cream reviews from customers of The Independent Pharmacy, which may help if you’re deciding which of the two will be best for you.

At the end of this page (after the latest Differin reviews), we’ve provided a summary of what we’ve learned from feedback so far. If you just want to know our takeaways, then you can skip to the end — it’s up to you!

Our Differin review summary: how it rates overall

Having been prescribing and selling Differin for a long time, we’ve heard back from a great many acne sufferers who’ve used it — their experiences ranging from very positive and complete success, to finding the treatment ineffective or side effects that were too negative to warrant continuing use — so we have a solid idea of what the average user can expect.

Below you can find our key takeaways about Differin from the Reviews.io customer feedback gathered by The Independent Pharmacy:

• Effectiveness at treating breakouts: the average Differin user sees treated skin improve significantly, with some users saying that it has “changed [their] skin for the better,” with another saying that using the treatment “kept breakouts to a minimum”.
• Success at treating scarring: One user mentioned that Differin “has reduced [their] scarring substantially,” though another user mentioned that they had been using Differin for 7 months for residual scars and had only noticed “some improvement”.
• Value for money: many find that Differin gets better results than more expensive competitors.
• Comparison to other acne treatments: those who have used several treatment types often prefer Differin. One user said that this “medicine should be the first port of call for anyone who doesn't find tetracyclines useful”.
• Application: Differin is described as “fast-absorbing” and “easy to use”, but it is sometimes found to be drying, so moisturising is important.
• Time frames: It seems that the time it takes for Differin to effectively treat acne varies between users. One reviewer said that the product took “just under a week and my adult acne is starting to clear up,” while another said that it “has to be used for a long time to get results.”
• Recommendations: Many Differin users would recommend this acne treatment, with it being described as an “amazing cream”, “absolutely wonderful” and “highly recommended”.

Many people who ordered this acne treatment from The Independent Pharmacy have left positive Differin gel reviews and cream reviews, detailing their experience with it. Real Differin users have also been very honest with how they find the treatment, detailing any adverse reactions, outcomes and side effects.

In general, Differin is a reliable and safe acne treatment, and we have no reservations about recommending it for those suffering from mild to moderate acne outbreaks.
