First vlog on Differin 0.1% Cream- Day 5

This will hopefully be a regular vlogging of my experience with this scar treatment my doctor prescribed for me. I'm only on day 5 with it, so I'm not noticing much of a difference at this point, but I do know that with retinoids (Taz, and Retin-A) the first 3 months are often the worse for excessive dryness and skin purging. After about 3 months, there should be a gradual clearing and smoothing of the skin. I really hope I'm one of the few people who never notice many of the bad side effects while using this though!

AS WITH ALL PRESCRIBED MEDICATION PLEASE SEEK A DOCTORS MEDICAL ADVICE BEFORE USING. I, PERSONALLY, DO NOT ADVISE PURCHASING ONLINE MEDICATION WITHOUT YOUR DOCTORS KNOWLEDGE, EVER!

does it helps you in your acne scar???? my doc prescribe it for my scars.................

[rosemarylove86]

@thestupidmirror It is supposed to help scars yes. Personally I didn't see much of a difference in the 3 months I used it, but I did hear that was one of the benefits of Differin.

Wear a high SPF sunscreen with this product! I got a sunburn from Hell just on my face because I was using Differin. Other than that, Differin was very good for treating my acne!

[rosemarylove86]

@PylesM11 Very good recommendation. I wear a high SPF everyday anyways, buut I know for some people who don't, it's not something they would think about. that's a good idea to let them know!

PLEASE be carefully when using differin use only a pea size bc I used more and my face is ichy and it has rashes

[rosemarylove86]

@boxerdogsrule10 Very good point boxerdogs. I should have mentioned that in my video. I myself haven't used anything bigger than a pea sized amount, but I am sure many people don't realize and do the same thing you did. thanks so much for the info!

I've been using it all my life. It definitely works for acne, but not really acne scars. What helped me get rid of my acne more effectively was clindamycin phosphate topical lotion that my doctor prescribed me. It's basically an antibacterial to prevent acne from appearing. Then on top of it I would use differin for spot treatment. But before you put medication, wash your face with a mild soap like dove or neutrogena oil free wash. Then sanitize your hands with sanitizer to keep germs from goin

It's a petty amazing cream...can cause dryness, but for me at least, it didn't.

It is mediocre at getting rid of acne, but it works almost flawlessly at keeping it away.

If anyone is having problems with dry skin while using differin, my routine is after I put it on, moisturize the area with a regular facial moisturizer and then cover the area with vaseline - it will STOP any type of dryness !

@yasmindali29 It did work a bit for me, but in the end I had to stop using it because of how irritating it was on my skin. If you read the comments on my other Differin blog, I've answered alot of these questions there too. I used it for rouhgly 4 months too, and in the end I just wasn't getting the results I expected either. I didn't feel like the irritation and burning it gave me was worth  the results, personally. I've heard that it works quite well for alot of people though. Hope that helps!
