Differin Gel Medical Information
The active substance in Differin is adapalene, which has an anti-inflammatory effect reducing soreness and irritation.
It is used on the face, chest or back for acne, where the skin has lots of blackheads, spots and pimples.
Differin is only absorbed into the body in very small amounts and has little effect, except on the surface of the skin.
Differin is applied at night before going to bed, unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
Thoroughly wash the areas to be treated with water. Make sure the skin is clean and dry before using this medicine.
Put on a thin film of the gel with your fingertips to the affected areas and rub in gently.
Don’t forget to wash your hands afterwards.
How long you will have to use this medicine will depend on how quickly your acne improves.
After you have used this medicine for three months, it is important that you see your doctor.
