With consistency and patience differin is definitely a reliable and effective treatment for acne. I use this every evening and since I started (about 1,5 years ago I believe now) it has shown great results. I debated putting a 5 star rating but because it do take quite some time and has yet to completely get rid of my acne I put a 4.

HG so far.
I had a huge blind pimple that was there for EASILY over a year, not surprised if it's almost 2 years as it ebbed and flowed but never went away.
Thanks to a reddit comment mentioning this product decided to give it a go eventhough it was quite pricey and I'd tried so many pimple spot creams that didn't work.
The BP went away in about a month of slightly inconsistent use. Show more
