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.
