Differin Gel 0.1% 30g

Differin is a type of medicine known as a retinoid. It contains the active ingredient adapalene, which is a form of Vitamin A acid used to treat acne. Adapalene reduces the growth of the keratin surface skin cells that can block pores.


What is Differin used for?

Differin is used to treat moderate to severe acne, a skin condition where the skin's pores become clogged, resulting in spots in the face or other areas such as the back. Acne is accompanied by oily skin, an overproduction of sebaceous matter, clogged pores and blackheads. Acne develops when overactive sebaceous glands become blocked and infected with acne bacteria. Acne generally starts during puberty when the skin is undergoing all kinds of hormonal changes. However, acne can also reappear during menopause. Differin reduces the production of sebaceous matter. It ensures that the skin does not become too greasy and prevents pores from clogging.
