Prescription Retinoid for Blackheads, Whiteheads & Mild Acne
Differin® Gel contains adapalene 0.1%, a topical retinoid used to treat mild to moderate acne, particularly blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores. It works deep within the skin to promote cell turnover, reduce inflammation, and prevent future breakouts.
A proven first-line treatment for clearer, smoother skin — often used alone or alongside antibacterial acne treatments.
How Does Differin Work?
Differin is a retinoid acne treatment that:
- Normalises skin cell turnover, preventing pores from becoming clogged
- Reduces inflammation within the skin
- Prevents new spots from forming and improves skin texture over time
It is ideal for comedonal acne (non-inflamed blackheads and whiteheads) and can help fade post-acne marks with continued use.
How to Use Differin Gel
- Apply a thin layer once daily, usually in the evening
- Use on clean, dry skin
- Avoid the eyes, lips, and any broken skin
- Start with alternate days if you have sensitive skin
- Always apply SPF daily, as retinoids increase sun sensitivity
Results usually begin to appear after 6–8 weeks, with continued improvement over time.
Possible Side Effects
Most are mild and improve with consistent use:
- Dryness, flaking or redness
- Skin tightness or irritation
- Increased sensitivity to sunlight
Use a gentle moisturiser and reduce application frequency if needed.
