Differin

I started on Differin cream two months ago for simultaneous dryness and cystic acne. Now, in week 8, my acne is the worst it has ever been. I have 20-30 whiteheads and cysts all over my cheeks (where I rarely broke out before) and I'm wondering if this could still be part of the initial breakout? My dermatologist said my skin would get worse around week 2-4, but I thought I would at least be seeing some results by now.

Also, I was thinking about asking to switch to Retin-a at my next appointment, since I've had such problems with Differin. My question about this is: Will I have another initial breakout, even though I've been using a vitamin a treatment (Differin) for a few months already? Please let me know. Thank you!
