Common Questions and Answers about Differin retinol

Avatar f tn I don't know, but if I wanted to know something like this I'd probably talk to my dermatologist or contact the company that makes it. As this product is stronger than retinol, I'm not sure why you'd want to add more of this but that's up to you. I'd say the thing to worry most about is that moisturizers are usually made with oil, and if you have chronic acne you have a problem with clogged pores.
Avatar f tn Hi, I have been using differin every alternate nights for 3 months without problems. But just last sun, I rubbed some onto my eyelids and facial rashes started to explode. They were not itchy at first but started to spread and becoming very itchy. My Gp said its contact dermatitis. But how could it be as I have been using it for 3 months? I put hydrocortisone cream on them but nothing seems to subside. Now my whole face is covered with itchy swell rashes. What should I do?
Avatar f tn It seems to be as strong as this accutane/isotrenoin - given what I have read up on it, which I suspect is a derivative of retinol. Again retinol should be banned!!!
Avatar f tn After the first night I noticed that I had visible pores on my cheeks where I had none before and I was worried it was from the retinol I so tried to find info on the net about retinol but almost everything I read claimed retinol made pores smaller so I thought perhaps it was just a strange phase and used the retinol a second night. The next morning I had even more visible pores and they were even larger. I haven't used the cream for 2 days now and will not be using it again.
Avatar n tn I recently began going for facials and my aesthetician told me to stop using my retinol products, as she said it ages and thins the skin. She recommends glycolic peels instead. This is contrary to everything I've heard. I thought retinol thickened the skin and stimulated collagen growth, and glycolic peels thinned the skin. Am I mistaken?
Avatar n tn I am in my late 30's and have been using retinol for my face for years now and i find it really effective. I was wondering if i can use it under my eyes as well. The skin under my eyes have fine lines, and looks dull and dry. if not, what can you recommend I could use to make it more youthful looking? Thank you.
Avatar f tn It's actually only a particular form of vitamin A called retinol. The vitamin A in most foods is perfectly safe, as it has to go through a LONG metabolic process before it reaches retinol, which is the final product, and can be somewhat toxic in high amounts to your fetus. The only big food source of retinol is liver, so just don't eat too much liver during pregnancy and you'll be fine.
Avatar f tn Dear doctor! How long can I use Differin (adaferin, adapalene)?
Avatar f tn (i used it as a day and night cream, so twice a day but i dont know the dosage of retinol in it)
Avatar n tn My mom which is 86 has used retinol on her face and she has a very bad painful rash all over. And a bloody mouth. What should she do?
Avatar f tn Hi, I posted a question a while back about retinol. I am a 53 year old female former smoker. I wanted to ask about etinol again, because I am very interested to know whether anyone has used a good strength OTC retinol product like Vichy, Boots or Green Cream (or prescription treitonin, Retin-A). Have you seen good results, specifically whether it may have helped with smoking wrinkles and sun damage. I know that you cannot get rid of wrinkles from smoking.
Avatar n tn I have just read that you are not supposed to use any product with retinol palmitate while pregnant. I am 20 weeks along and just looked at my facial lotion..yup retinol palmitate...
Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar f tn 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...

Avatar n tn If you have money there are different laser treatments that help. Otherwise I've read that retinol can help. You can try inexpensive, over-the-counter types like ROC. If you use retinol, use once a day, apply at night and wear sunscreen during the day.
Avatar n tn Due to a reaction to some skin cream, I burned my face/neck. I tried to clean the angry reddish brown spots with iodine which only exacerbated the situation and made these burns turn an angry, painful dark red/black color. I used neosporin and fucidin (the latter prescribed by a doctor at a walk-in clinic who, after refusing to hear about how the burns occurred, had little else in terms of advice).
Avatar m tn In foods of animal origin, the major form of vitamin A is an ester, primarily retinyl palmitate, which is converted to an alcohol (retinol) in the small intestine. The retinol form functions as a storage form of the vitamin, and can be converted to and from its visually active aldehyde form, retinal.
Avatar m tn he put me on oracea 40mg once a day and differin gel 0.3%....i was reading the paper that comes with oracea~doxycycline and it says it doesnt kill bacteria now im getting worried because minocycline does kill bacteria now im worried i will break out more from the oracea.it says its for rosacea but doest oracea work to kill acne to or no?and the differin gel 0.3% isnt this not as strong drying to dry up pimples as retin a micro 0.1%?
Avatar f tn I am very into skincare and cleanse and moisturise my face every night and using hylauronic acid and retinol (with a formulated retinol eye cream) as I was told this might help. I drink 2 litres of water everyday and sleep atleast 8 hours a night so I can't figure out why this problem persists. It's starting to really get me down as it's very obvious still even with makeup as in the second photo.
1632818 tn?1299941302 I washed my face and slathered it with the sunscreen that is usually soothing, but it stung this time. I decided to google differin, and on their website it clearly said that differin should not be used on skin with eczma. Then I googled eczma, where it said that it is important to moisturise skin with eczma... So this contradicted the dermatologist telling me to not use my moisturiser and prescribing me differin.
