Once it runs out, assess your skin- do you really need to keep taking it?? If this answer is a yes, refill the prescription and keep taking the Differin(In relation to taking it "permanently", i recommend doing this self- assessment everytime you fill the prescription, no matter how long you have been using it). If you think no, then try just using the cream without the antiobiotics. If you are seeing your skin remain clear with just the cream, continue using that.
I have a 17 year old son who continues to have moderate acne despite several trips to the dermatologist. We have tried several prescription medications with no relief. He has been on a course of antibiotics as well as many topical creams. We have also tried ProActiv w/ no relief. I DO NOT want to put my son on Accutane. Can anyone offer any advise?
Dermatologists have found that the best prescription acne gel is Differin. Differin is especially effective when used in conjunction with oral treatment such as antibiotics or anti-androgens (for females only).
I’ve been using prescription strength differin gel for acne for many years, and would like to add a retinol moisturizer to my skincare routine for anti-aging benefits. Would like to know if the combination is safe?
I started using Differin in May, but I now realize Differin also contains Adapalene. Should I be worried about sun exposure while using Differin/adapaline? I noticed the container says not to use it on sunburns, but nothing about not using it in the sun.
I use the cream at night, but I also realize that it's a long term treatment... and as such just because I use it at night, does not mean the sensitivity is gone in the morning/day.

Ok so I have been prescribed differin gel for "acne" problems. I recently had a huge one with deep cyst (when i touch it i can feel hardness under the skin)...then it formed a white head and oozed a lot of pus (and some blood) after which it stopped being painful. My question is can I still keep on applying differin gel on top of the acne even though it's "broken" skin? The differin seems to help calm the inflammation pretty quick and dry it out...
Hi there,
I would wait for the rest of your test results to see if you have an STD confirmed, do not go out buying any if the antibiotics that kiran as mentioned to you, you should never take these treatments without a prescription from your doctor who knows your history and any allergies you have, also any contra indications with other drugs you are taking need to be considered...
I would like to order from Zenni online as I am on social security but I must make sure my prescription is correct. I got bifocals from Americas best last year which are fine using this script: OD SPH+25 / CYL -75 / AXIS 145 / ADD +2.50......OS SPH +25 / CYL -75 / AXIS 012 / ADD + 2.50. In June of this year I went to my opthalmologist for my biannual checkup and was handed this prescription (I was told there was hardly any difference, but they sure write it differently)....OD SPH -0.
Dermatologists have found the most effective topical prescription gel to be Differin especially when used in conjunction with oral antibiotics or an anti-androgen contraceptive pill like Diane35 (females only). Also check out our Acne forum.
Do not pop spots or blackheads. This seldom improves their appearance and will spread the bacteria under the skin causing future breakouts.
There are many scrubs and masks on the market which can improve the appearance of blackheads. If they are of limited benefit to you, ask your doctor about Differin gel. This is a topical retinoid which contains Adapalene 0.1%. It works deep into your pores and is effective at clearing both acne and blackheads.

I messed with it a little bit, and the next day it had swollen up and was warm, like an infection. Since then, I have been using Abreva and Differin on it. The Differin makes the largest difference – it reduces the size significantly.
When it first showed up, it looked a lot like this picture: http://www.adamjbc.f2s.com/dlc/test/Photo-0171.jpg. It no longer has a white tip, and there are two small bumps (neither red nor painful) below it.
Hi I would really appreciate it if anyone could tell me where you could buy Armour online from a reliable source without a prescription?

I wear progressive glasses and have no problem with them at all. I wanted to buy some prescription sunglasses with the current prescription but was told I need a new exam. The O.D. gave me this RX:
old: (my current)
Right: -0.25 sph, +0.50 cyl, 095 axis
Left: -1.50 sph, = 2.75 cyl, 087 axis
New
Right: +0.50 sph, -0.50 cyl, 013 axis
Left: +1.50 sph, -3.
No, do not buy T3 medication online without a script; you won't have any way of knowing what you're getting and it could be dangerous.
It's never a good idea to self medicate; we've seen WAY too many people get into trouble by thinking they can dose themselves.
