Description

Differin (adapalene) is a topical retinoid medication that is applied to the skin. It works by normalizing the growth of skin cells and reducing inflammation, helping to prevent the formation of acne lesions such as blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples.

How it works

Adapalene, the active ingredient in Differin, works by binding to specific receptors in the skin cells called retinoic acid receptors. It regulates the growth and differentiation of skin cells, preventing the formation of clogged pores, and reducing inflammation. This helps to improve acne by promoting the turnover of skin cells and preventing the formation of acne lesions.

Warnings

  • Use Differin only as directed by your healthcare provider or as instructed on the product label.
  • Avoid contact with the eyes, lips, and mucous membranes when applying Differin.
  • Inform your healthcare provider if you have any skin conditions or allergies before using Differin.
  • Exposure to sunlight and UV lamps should be minimized while using Differin, and sunscreen should be applied to protect the treated skin.
  • Avoid using other acne medications or products that may be drying or irritating to the skin unless directed by your healthcare provider.

Directions

The dosing and application of Differin should be determined by a healthcare professional. Generally, it is applied once daily in a thin layer to the affected areas of the skin after washing and drying the skin thoroughly.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in Differin is adapalene.
