Differin Gel Review

before i started to consult my dermatologist, my skin is horrible till extend.. when i couldn't get enough rest or not drinking enough water or on the way for my menstrual period, acnes and pimples would just come out without giving me any warning!!

what worsen it is that I love to touch them! i dunno why T.T thanks to my mom for introducing me my dermatologist and she recommended me to use Differin as trial!

DESCRIPTION:
DIFFERIN® (adapalene) Cream, 0.1%, contains adapalene 0.1% in an aqueous cream emulsion consisting of carbomer 934P, cyclomethicone, edetate disodium, glycerin, methyl glucose sesquistearate, methylparaben, PEG-20 methyl glucose sesquistearate, phenoxyethanol, propylparaben, purified water, squalane, and trolamine.


below are some knowledge from a friend of mine which is a pharmacist in Singapore *credited all to her, Melinda*:
1. Differin gel increases the differentiation process of your skin, meaning that your dead skin tend to fall off faster rather than clogging up your pores.
2. So, normally after using adapalene (differin) for a few months, the numbers of blackheads and pore sizes will be reduced.
3. It thins your skin a little so it's a MUST to apply sunblock in the day or else freckles will appear on your face when you get older.

My comments on differin:
- Absolutely love it!! till the max.. my face's getting better even i sleep late at night/not enough rest.. it just happen to reduce the breakout which is why i love it so much.. lol
- I applied it at night after the moisturiser or night cream.. it turns out my skin is so soft in the morning~!

Differin is available in all sorts of Pharmacy throughout the country.. I get my second tube from a pharmacy nearby my house which is approximately RM 28 per tube.. the 15g tube..get yourself a tube if u thinks that u need a change on your face!!!


Goodluck!
