Finally, something that works
The history: I have been using Differin acne gel for around 4 months and it completely dried out my skin. I didn't have acne, but used it for tiny red bumps caused by rosacea. While it completely eliminated the rosacea so my skin was perfectly clear, it left my skin flaky beyond all reasoning. No matter how much lotion I used, even oils (coconut, etc.) my face was constantly peeling and flaky. It was noticeable and made me look older:( I tried hardcore lotions (amalactin, butters, etc.) and they all just made my face oily-looking but still flaky.This moisturizer: After a day of using it my face already is normal. My skin looks alive again, and youthful. Well, as youthful as you can be at 35 ;) I can put this on a few minutes before applying my makeup in the morning, and it doesn't make my face powder go on clumpy or splotchy. Or, after I put on makeup I can put it on top and it doesn't mess anything up. I don't use foundation, only powder, so I can't testify for foundation. This does not make you oily, shiny, or sticky. Within a minute of putting it on it dries silky. I'm really happy I found something to fix my snake skin that was caused from Differin ;) The attached picture is how my skin looks from using differin acne gel, and this moisturizer. You would never know I used to have terrible rosacea that gave me red bumps all over, right?

I love, love, love this moisturizer! It's thick and greasy enough to actually moisturize & UNSCENTED! I use liquid foundation and this face cream keeps my skin from flaking. I've been looking for this kind of moisturizer forever & the only thing that's ever come close is from the Honest company but even that dries up pretty quickly. I use this in the morning and by afternoon my face is still not dry and flaking. If you've been using or are planning to use the Differin gel & face wash, this is a MUST HAVE!

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2018
My dermatologist prescribed this product several years ago before it was available for purchase without a prescription. At the time, I used it for about a month, but then I discontinued it because it was SOOOOOO Expensive at the time (Over $200 after my insurance.) Because I did not use it long enough, I never saw any benefits from it. It's true that you have to use it for 3 months before seeing the benefit. To start, I would use it twice a week and then slowly increase frequency as your skin tolerates the medicine. This DOES cause your skin to break out more before it gets better. To combat this, I used it only on a small portion of my face (example, my chin only) for a couple weeks, then slowly expanded (chin + forehead) to ensure that I wasn't breaking out everywhere all at once as my skin acclimated. My dermatologist told me that now I am used to it, that I should use it every day if possible. This has CHANGED MY SKIN!!!! I a 40 years old and have had acne over 30 years. I used to never leave the house without makeup. After using this product for 3 months, I no longer wear makeup AT ALL! I just use a quick mascara and a lipstick, and my skin is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I do recommend using a moisturizer directly after applying and twice a day, as this product can temporarily cause dryness. I do like the differin moisturizer. I recommend using a LOT of the moisturizer. I plan to use this product every day for the rest of my life. IT WORKS!!!!

Have been using differin since it hit the open market (no prescription neccessary). previously i had sworn by proactiv, but its just become too expensive. i had expected this to overly dry my skin based on other reviews but it has not. i have oily skin prone to breakouts, and differin has managed to keep it in check. its not a very balancing product, but your skin goes through purge and clear cycles. it sems now when my skin is purging its much faster --1 or 2 days - versus 1 or two weeks. it does sometimes feel drying and stinging but moisturizer helps.i do burn much more easily in the sun as well, a side effect mentioned clearly on packaging.

Great moisturizer. Great price!
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2021
My daughter was prescribed the line of Differin for her acne. Its the only thing that cleared up her skin as a teenager. I bought this and the night time cream for my face to be used after washing. It goes on really well, has a nice smooth consistency to it with no scent. However, it seems to just sit on top of my skin without absorbing. It leaves a sticky film on my face which I hate. Ive had no problems with break out of acne or a rash. My face is super sensitive.
I will continue to use the product until its gone because I don't want to waste it and be out the money. I won't purchase it again.

I saw this on youtube from a dermatologist and bought it. It is better than the $100 cream I have. I use it at night.

Great addition to my skincare routine. The moisturizer was light weight and absorbed quickly leaving my skin feeling nice. Have bought several times since. I have very sensitive skin and haven’t had any bad effects from the product.
