H Hyram Approved
“Differin, which used to be a prescription retinoid but now is over-the-counter and widely available for you to purchase and start using on your skin, which is less intense than tretinoin and will definitely kind of accustom your skin to the strength of a prescription retinoid.”

DS Dr. Daniel Sugai Approved
“My favorite for clogged pores would be adapalene, that's over the counter at 0.1%. It used to be prescription, but now it's over the counter in the US and that's my favorite retinoid for clogged pores. You can find it as Differin or La Roche-Posay's Effaclar adapalene gel. Do a pea-size amount to the entire face and then moisturize afterwards. Also, always wear sunscreen during the day.”

SE Dr. Sam Ellis Approved
“I think people are going to be most familiar with the brand name Differin, but Lar Ro Poose has a version of this as well. Adapylene is going to help regulate your cell turnover, so it's going to help clear out your clogged pores. It's also anti-inflammatory.”

MA Mad About Skin Approved
“Adapalene might give you very similar results with a lot less side effects and irritation. It's also fantastic if you have very oily, breakout and acne prone skin because it's clinically proven to reduce the prevalence of breakouts, decongest the pores and minimize any inflammation that you have associated with those breakouts themselves. I love love love adapalene, which is also known by its trade name Differin. It's a great alternative to retinol which in most cases gives you far greater results and less side effects than retinol itself.”

LM Lab Muffin Beauty Science Approved
“Adapalene is really optimized for acne treatment it is stable to benzoyl peroxide and the particle size in differin is specifically made so that it ends up going into hair follicles which is where the pimples live”

SI Dr. Shereene Idriss Mixed
“It is a very strong one so do not use it foolishly because it is very strong but if you're using it to get anti-aging benefits you're not going to get as good of a result”

M1 Minkology 101 & Skincare Approved
“My dermatologist has me on a regimen with Differin. In my opinion, Differin is not a bad cleanser. I believe it does work, especially for a lot of acne-prone clients. I'm okay with Differin. If I did not agree with it, I have no problem with letting my clients know what I agree with and what I don't agree with.”
