Acne scars and Differin

[divorcedbeheadeddied]

I'm mid-20s, and sadly am the bearer of pitted acne scars and the odd breakouts here and there. Came across this study www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6002315/ last night, and I was wondering, has anyone ever used Differin and seen any improvements with regards to their atrophic scarring?

Also, the most commonly prescribed one (I think) is the 0.1% version. How effective is that comparatively?

Hi, I’ve been using differing for a while, haven’t noticed much difference wrt reduction in acne let alone scars...retain a would probably be much more effective.

Retin A

Thanks for the reply, @Mrstwiddle.

That's tretinoin right? Do you see any improvements wrt atrophic scars with that? Or is it mainly for the acne flareups?

Differin and DermaT used together really helped my skin. It definitely helped with scarring.

See your go if your getting breakouts.

Sorry for late reply, I’m using it for ageing primarily, don’t have scars just minor wrinkles and occasional acne...it brings acne to the fore during the purging stage, and is incredibly drying if you overdo it (which is easily done)

And yes, it is tretinoin, retinol products have nowhere near the same strength.

Found this source recently and this product has been really helpful for me

I used Retin a for old acne scars. It cleared them completely.

Where do you get yours, mrs Twiddles?
