Before buying this, we just want to let you know that Differin is a strong acne product, and depending on your skin’s sensitivity, you might need to work your way up to daily use. Also! Since this is a retinoid and retinoids can make you more sensitive to the sun, you should make sure you’re applying a daily sunscreen while using this product. If you’re able to use this at night vs. in the morning, that’s awesome — this way, your skin has some time to recover at night and hopefully poses less of an irritation risk the next day!

Promising review: “Has completely transformed my skin. I used to get hormonal acne every single month. I still get it now, but far less often and severely. Differin has really made a big difference in my quality of life. I have sensitive skin, so I only use it a couple of times a week and always over a light layer of lotion. When I first started using it, my acne did get worse for about a month, and then magically, one day, my skin looked amazing. It’s worth a try for sure!” —Britt
