Retin A Questions

[Deleted member 1338]

I bought differin 3 days ago

strength is 0,1% to improve collagen and get rid of few swallow acne scars here and there

I have combination dry-oily sensitive skin

I used it the past 2 days and it broke me out like fucking crazy I never broke out this bad I got cystic acne

1) should I quit using it? Some people say it takes awhile to see results

2)would I still get the same results if I used it every other day?

3)can I use it without cleaning my face with soap just water?

Differin isn't Retin A, but :

You gotta start it slow, giving enough time for you skin yo adapt.

You should try buffering it if it causes too much irritation.

You should use it on clean dry face.

You should wear sunscreen every day.

It's retinol just milder. I bought it because I read it's better for sensitive skin.

Retinol is not a milder version of retinA.

Retinol, is milder than RetinA.
And both are derived from Vitamin A.

BUT they are 2 different type of products.

This. Retinol and Tretinoin (Retin A) as well as Adapalene (Differen) are all Retinoids. Retinoids are all based on Vitamin A. Retinol and Adapalene work, but Tretinoin is the proven miracle cure for acne and anti-aging.

Also, purging is real. If you have the luxury of being at home right now, just power through the purge. Use lots of moisturizer and sunscreen. For Tret, any major purging is over by week 6-8.

truth.
OP, is probably goinmg through ugly ppurging type of phase. Which will last weeks in general.
You just need to buckly though that ugly purgiying phase. Just lock yourself in home for 6 weeks, and tell sick or something. The ugly purging phase, is traumatising for life if you meet with others people. Especially of people whom are not afraid of some mockeriy.
