I saw that retin A takes a lot time to see results, I just wanna know which one is better. Defferin is easier to get, Retin A is harder but cheaper.

Differen/Adapalene is the best

I've used Differin for a few days, haven't noticed any results yet, but when I put it on my skin it feels corrosive as fuck, feels like it's really doing its thing. The other topical treatments I've tried have been just weak copefuel snake oil tbh

that is why I was hesitant, I don't want peeling skin that is permanently damaged
 
Do you use sunscreen daily? Reapplying when needed?
 
Put on Retin A at night and every morning a sunscreen with Hyarolonic Acid for day wear

Unless your skin is complete shittier you will see results in 3-4 weeks

Doc told me to only use it once a day, so your skin has time to regenerate itself. Yeh it may dry/peel your skin tbh so collagen supplement and moisturizer would help. No pain no gain

Of course doesn't help that I smoke like a chimney and eat like shit bc I'm on a cut but I already look like an old geezer who's seen some shit with all the scars and forehead wrinkles, I just want to get rid of the damn pimples for once.
 
care to elab, interested in these two products too.
Adapalene is the same as retin A, just less strength and works better imo. Doesn't cause dryness and peeling and very good to use on your face

differin is the same as adapalene btw... just different brand names for the same substance

Both take a long time to start working since they're both retinoids, anyway I started using Adapalene (just not Differin since it's not available here) a few days ago and I don't feel any dryness or itchiness at all, using it every night before going to sleep.

moisturizer is a must

know of any good online pharmas to get this? using a script is really expensive to get these
 
buy it from premiumrxdrugs in India. It's the 15mg gel i think
is the 1% quite strong, other sites in the EU i saw was like 0.1 % and stuff

https://www.premiumrxdrugs.com/adaferin-gel.html works wonders for me and no harsh reactions of anything... don't even feel any itching... tazret on the other hand.. that's some strong shit

1% isn't too strong. I can use it with no negatives
