Differin Gel (active ingredient: adapalene) is a topical medication used to treat acne vulgaris in adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older. It belongs to a class of medications called retinoids, which help keep pores clear, reduce inflammation, and promote healthier skin.
With regular use, Differin Gel can help reduce existing acne breakouts while preventing new pimples from forming.

It can help improve several types of acne lesions, including:

By addressing the underlying causes of acne, Differin Gel helps improve skin clarity over time.
When used as directed, Differin Gel may help:
Use Differin Gel exactly as directed by your healthcare provider or according to the product instructions. Acne may not improve immediately, and it can take several weeks of consistent use before you notice significant results. Continue using the medication as directed, even if improvement is gradual, unless your healthcare provider advises you to stop.
Differin Gel is a topical medication that should be applied directly to the skin exactly as directed by your healthcare provider or according to the product instructions. It is typically applied once daily in the evening before bedtime.
Before applying the gel, gently wash the affected area with a mild or soap-free cleanser and pat your skin dry. Allow your skin to dry completely before applying the medication, as applying it to damp skin may increase irritation.
Wash your hands before and after each application. Using your fingertips, apply a small amount of gel in a thin, even layer over the entire affected area—not just on individual pimples. If you are using a medicated swab, unwrap it and apply a thin layer of medication to the affected skin as directed.
Differin Gel is for external use only. Avoid getting the medication in your:
If the gel accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them immediately with plenty of water. Contact your healthcare provider if eye irritation persists.

Differin Gel (Adapalene) is available in the following forms and strength:
Before using Differin Gel, tell your healthcare provider about your medical history, allergies, and all medications and skincare products you use. This helps ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for your skin.
Before starting Differin Gel, tell your healthcare provider if you are allergic to:
Some inactive ingredients may also cause allergic reactions. If you develop a rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or other signs of a serious allergic reaction, stop using the medication and seek immediate medical attention.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider before using Differin Gel.
Although only a small amount of adapalene is absorbed through the skin, Differin Gel is generally not recommended during pregnancy because it may pose a risk to an unborn baby. Your healthcare provider can help determine whether this medication is appropriate for you.
Differin Gel can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight and ultraviolet (UV) light, increasing your risk of sunburn.
To help protect your skin:
Avoid using waxing, electrolysis, or chemical depilatories on areas of skin being treated with Differin Gel. These hair removal methods may increase skin irritation or damage.
Apply Differin Gel only to the affected areas of the skin.
Avoid contact with:
If the medication accidentally comes into contact with these areas, rinse thoroughly with water.
While using Differin Gel, avoid applying other products that may further irritate your skin unless recommended by your healthcare provider.
These include:
Using multiple irritating products at the same time may increase redness, dryness, peeling, or burning.
Contact your healthcare provider if you experience:
Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider can help ensure Differin Gel is working effectively while minimizing skin irritation and other side effects.
Before applying Differin Gel, gently wash your face with a mild, non-irritating cleanser and pat your skin dry. Apply a thin layer of the gel to the entire affected area, not just individual pimples. Avoid getting the medication in your eyes, on your lips, or inside your nose or mouth. Allow the gel to absorb completely before applying any other skincare products.
Differin Gel is typically applied once daily, preferably in the evening before bedtime. Using more than the recommended amount or applying it more often will not clear acne faster and may increase skin irritation.
Yes. You can wear makeup while using Differin Gel. Allow the medication to absorb into your skin for at least 10 minutes before applying makeup or other skincare products. Choose non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) cosmetics whenever possible to help prevent new breakouts.
Improvement does not happen overnight. Many people begin to notice clearer skin after several weeks of consistent use, but it may take up to 12 weeks to experience the full benefits of treatment. Continue using Differin Gel as directed, even if you do not see immediate improvement.
Yes. To help reduce skin irritation while using Differin Gel, avoid using other skincare products that may dry out or irritate your skin unless your healthcare provider recommends them. These include other topical retinoids, exfoliating products or scrubs, and products containing alcohol, menthol, peppermint, or eucalyptus. Using several irritating products at the same time can increase the risk of redness, dryness, peeling, burning, or stinging. If you are unsure whether a skincare product is safe to use with Differin Gel, consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist before applying it.
Yes. Although Differin Gel is applied to the skin, it may interact with certain medications or topical treatments. Before using Differin Gel, tell your healthcare provider if you are taking or using antibiotics, sulfonamide (“sulfa”) medications, corticosteroids, or other prescription or over-the-counter acne treatments. You should also provide a complete list of all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, herbal supplements, and natural health products you use. This allows your healthcare provider to identify potential interactions and determine whether any adjustments to your treatment plan are needed.
