Description: Adapalene (Differin) is a gentle but effective retinoid that helps unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and prevent breakouts. It takes 8-12 weeks to show results, with some initial dryness or purging, but it’s a great option for mild to moderate acne. While it’s less irritating than tretinoin, it works best when combined with benzoyl peroxide for stubborn acne. It is available over the counter (Differin 0.1%) and by prescription (0.3% strength or in combination with benzoyl peroxide like Epiduo).
