Differin 30 g

General Information 
Differin Gel 0.1% has been approved for the treatment of acne. 
Differin Gel is a new topical prescription medication that 
penetrates deeply into hair follicles where it can prevent and 
reduce blackheads and whiteheads 

Clinical Results 
In controlled clinical trials, Differin Gel was shown to 
effectively reduce the number and severity of acne lesions after 12 
weeks of therapy. Furthermore, the subjects on Differin Gel 
experienced less skin dryness and skin irritation than those on 
topical Tretinoin Gel 0.025%. Stinging, burning, peeling, and skin 
redness associated with retinoid therapy have been a barrier to 
subjects remaining on their Tretinoin acne medication and achieving 
successful treatment outcomes. 

Side Effects 
Some adverse effects such as erythema, scaling, dryness, 
pruritus, and burning will occur in 10%-40% of subjects. Pruritus 
or burning immediately after application also occurs in 
approximately 20% of subjects. The following additional adverse 
experiences were reported in approximately 1% or less of subjects: 
skin irritation, burning/stinging, erythema, sunburn, and acne 
flares. These are most commonly seen during the first month of 
therapy and decrease in frequency and severity thereafter.
