Retin-A versus Differin
by Seekinghelp158, Jul 20, 2009 02:35PM
There are rumors that using a topical retinoid can make you break out for a few weeks or even months after beginning treatment. If I have been using Retin-A for the past year and I have overcome the initial break-out and then I switch to Differin, will I have another break-out period or will I circumvent that because it is also a retinoid?

Differin contains adapalene which is gentler and better tolerated than tretinoin (the active ingredient in Retin-A). I think it is unlikely that you will experience a breakout when changing to this medicine.
