I wash my face and use my hydrating toner , moisturizer then once that dries down a bit I rub a pea sized amount onto my face. I’ve only been using it for 3 weeks and I’ve seen so much progress
my dermatologist prescribed me differin gel last year, but I couldn't use it for a lot of reasons. Now I am ready to use it , but on the leaflet it's written that the gel can be used for 6 months after first opening and it has already been a year since I opened it( I used it only once). The expiration date written on the tube is December 2023, so can I use it now?
Here's a skincare tip: Kick off with Garnier Acne Control Micellar Water, followed by a double cleanse with CeraVe Foaming Cleanser or Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser. Top it off with Moisturizer, Differin Gel, and the magic touch - Niacinamide. If there's still a hint of dryness, double up on the moisturizer.
what if my moisturizer has already niacinamide in it? (my routine would be: lrp toleriane foaming wash → moisturizer w niacinamide → petroleum jelly on the sides of nose, eyelids, and mouth → adapalene gel → moisturizer w niacinamide)
You just can’t use different active ingredients in the same routine or else your face or wherever you put your active ingredient on will have irritation.
People need to understand, don’t put this on pimples ready to pop, put this on acne underneath the skin or blackheads because it forces all of them out
yes you can because the actives ingredients are separated in different routines. but dont use 2 active ingredients in the same routines like you said that if you can use BHAs and AHAs in the morning. that will be a no because you can’t use 2 actives in the same routine.
I have been using Cerave acne control cleanser (which has salicylic acid) and the differin gel should I change back to the Cerave foaming facial cleanser?
yea im wondering that too! i feel like it shouldn't be bad since face wash is being washed off if anything the SA can help since it goes deep into the pore to clean up clogged pores but idk tbh lmk if you find out
@@lillyteslow5310 I started just using Cerave facial foaming cleaner and different gel and my face has gotten better but I still get break outs but not as bad!
@@bailey5970 looks like you have the same skin type as I do ( which is acne - oily skin) and actually I wanna use the CeraVe foaming facial cleanser too with PC SA exfoliant at day and Differin gel at night . I don't think that If I use SA cleanser will help, bcz too much actives doesn't necessarily mean more benefit your skin will get , maybe you will damage your skin instead . So I'd recond to use gentle cleanser 😄
@@bailey5970hey i literally have the same routine that you had, but i had to stop using my acne control cleanser due to redness, irritation, and flaky skin. did u ever go back to the cleanser and if u did how did u include it in ur routine?
No u can't, no skin care product should be mixed with another one according to my knowledge unless it's formulated to be mixed And if u do mix it, it leads to uneven coating, u can research about it more a pea sized amount is enough for entire face
@@honeykanyadari995 your knowledge is ass. If you mix your components properly, uneven coating is impossible, doesn't even make sense. If there is no active that has any bad reaction with the rethinol or somthing else, there is no harm to your skin
Im a guy who uses it. So correct me if im wrong, but I get out of the shower and put it on. My skin on my face is starting to flake like crazy, but my acne is starting to go away. Am I doing it right?
Yeah flaking and redness is normal as long as it’s not on a extreme level but you should be washing your face before the differin and moisturizing after
My dermatologist recomended not to use it at day time. I am using it for half to one hour for alternative days.still its causing dryness.cant think of using it 3 times a day😵
Not as a spot treatment. Adapalene works super well, but it works on the whole face increasing cell turnover as it accumulates over time. It’s a super strong good ingredient but it’s NOT a spot treatment. Benzoyl peroxide, hydrocolloid acne patches, sulfur and sometimes even zinc can be used as a spot treatment to work on zits. If you re asking about whether it is okay to put adapalene on the zit while you re putting it on the whole face, using it as it is supposed to - then yes, you don’t have to avoid the zit while putting adapalene on. Hope this helps
I've got really sensitive skin sand my skins has flared up. So I'm going to stop it for 2 weeks and incorporate a more moisturizing cream and focus on getting my skin calm and strong again. Then I'm gonna restart my differin gel journey with starting it once a week for a month and then incorporating 1 more day each month. It's gonna take a long time but I think my skin will do much better going nice and slow. And if it still doesn't work out obviously my skin can't deal with it and will have to stop. Wish me the best tho. 😊
My differin gel says it expires on 8/24, does that mean August 24, 2023 or August 2024? I bought this it a year ago but stopped using it because I mistook purging for a bad product??
How long do i sandwich + use 2x/week before moving on to direct and daily application? Is there a time line or some indications my skin will give me to let me know it’s ready?

does it get rid of only acne or also acne scars
@@ibtissamelghazali6161 for me it helps with both!
Thanks I just got my tube in the mail, look forward to using this
Did anybody skin peel while using this ??
@@melaninmonroeeee yes you just need to use a moisturizer and the more you use differin the more your face will get used to it!!!
My routine
AM

I have oily skin
Should i use cerave normal to dry skin moisturiser after adaplene ?

Can you give us an update , Have you kept this same routine or changed anything ? Thanks !
i dont use moisturizer at night…
Switch the cleanser
if I'm using a serum, in what order do I apply the adapalene? should I apply the serum first or the adapalene?

Which moisturizer to use with it
does it help with active acne and can i layer of after azelic acid?

Guys boycott cerave
what if my moisturizer has already niacinamide in it? (my routine would be: lrp toleriane foaming wash → moisturizer w niacinamide → petroleum jelly on the sides of nose, eyelids, and mouth → adapalene gel → moisturizer w niacinamide)
I've lot of acne and acne marks. For how many weeks i need to use it? Will it have any side effects if i stop the usage?
Can i use this with hyaluronic acid+ VitB5? If yes, should i apply it before the differin or after?
You should def use it before differin
TYYYY
Can I use vitamin c and hyaluronic acid Khiel ‘s serum in morning while using differin gel at night?
Yes
Don't use any type of actives while using any retinoid...
@@Jkhan_088That is true, but it is fine to use an active ingredient and another active ingredient in different routines like @fatimaamery928 said.
You just can’t use different active ingredients in the same routine or else your face or wherever you put your active ingredient on will have irritation.
People need to understand, don’t put this on pimples ready to pop, put this on acne underneath the skin or blackheads because it forces all of them out
You put it in all face dummas
no, put it on ur whole face. it doesnt work as a spot treatment
What do you mean forces them out? So will I get more acne then 😢😢
@@kayshashas9974yes!
If I use differin at night can I use BHA’s and AHA’s in the morning??
i was wondering this too
yes you can because the actives ingredients are separated in different routines. but dont use 2 active ingredients in the same routines like you said that if you can use BHAs and AHAs in the morning. that will be a no because you can’t use 2 actives in the same routine.
Never
You gonna burn you skin barrier
Great, I accidentally washed my face with BHA before putting this on, any tips way I can minimise dryness?
you a hydrating clenser before and after it works amazing
never keep any acid next to another
I have gotten the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Retinol Regenerating Cream . Can I use it on top of the differin
No it’ll be too irritating.

While using adaplene gel which days we can use aha bha peeling exfoliant??
Are you using it on a daily basis?
Omg i have the same question and cant find creators that answer this
i’m wondering if i could mix it in with my moisturizer instead because there’s no way i can spread such a small amount over all my problem areas
Yes you can, i mix it with my toner
No u can't, no skin care product should be mixed with another one according to my knowledge unless it's formulated to be mixed
And if u do mix it, it leads to uneven coating, u can research about it more a pea sized amount is enough for entire face

I realize this isn’t really clear basically put the differin on after your skincare routine and use it at night
@@IsabellaArchives thx
@natruljames1056 tell me how it goes
Don’t apply it on wet/damp skin, though
song name?
Hi your so pretty 💯💘🇵🇭🙂
I don’t think u use it over da moisturiser
Yes! But vitamin c is good with tetinols and may make it even more potent. But no bhas or ahas like you said. 😊
Can we use differen gel and oral isotretonin at same time ? For acne and scar ?
Not recommended
How tf does a p sized amount even work. Cuz when I do it, it ain’t enough
What’s the best moisturizer while using differin gel
The ordinary natural moisturizing factor HA,is the best.
One dermat recommended me for using it 3 times a day. Is that ok?
My dermatologist recomended not to use it at day time. I am using it for half to one hour for alternative days.still its causing dryness.cant think of using it 3 times a day😵
Plzz plzz tell me can i use differin gel on acne spots plzz rply

Is it normal for my face to feel itchy after applying it?
Same its definitely normal tho
You need to put cream before adapalene for reduce the burn
No problem before and after you can
do you wash it of or just leave it on
Leave it on over night
thanks
Before using this differin gel can I use moisturizer??
That’s literally what she suggested in the video. Use moisturizer, then Differin, then moisturizer 1-3X a week if you’re a beginner
Moisturizer before and after.
It's the sandwich method to lessen the purging effect of skin.
What other products can I use with differin gel
I've got really sensitive skin sand my skins has flared up. So I'm going to stop it for 2 weeks and incorporate a more moisturizing cream and focus on getting my skin calm and strong again. Then I'm gonna restart my differin gel journey with starting it once a week for a month and then incorporating 1 more day each month.

How its going now ? Any update on ur skin😊
any update miss?
can i use adapalene with salicylic acid?
face wash yea bujt not a salyiclic acid cream
I'm 19 so should I start using retinol or not?
yes 19 is the perfect age to start
My differin gel says it expires on 8/24, does that mean August 24, 2023 or August 2024? I bought this it a year ago but stopped using it because I mistook purging for a bad product??
@@sarajasim7080 Thank you!!
@@amealichee6478I don't know why you buy that very expensive product without knowing it's purging effect on skin. 😂
This means the product expires aug. 2024 :)
24
Hi, can I use adapalene together with niacinamide?
Imo no since niacinamide is pretty irritating on the skin if used with differin
Do you rinse it off?
No
@@arevceline ok thank you
i slap so much on lol
Can i combine niacinamide with it?
How long do i sandwich + use 2x/week before moving on to direct and daily application? Is there a time line or some indications my skin will give me to let me know it’s ready?
I don’t understand why she told is to ask questions if she isn’t going to answer them lol
@@angellaUlevilol
I use it every night
I use it without any moisturizer, dont feel any irritation
Bro you are not a human😂
Bad idea!
Do you break out badly from adapalene if you've already used benzoyl peroxide to treat and clear your acne?
I am using it but I also apply mandelic acid
Noooo no acids and this at the same time
