How does differin compare to tretinoin for anti-aging? th-cam.com/video/Fr6E3Y3bjUA/w-d-xo.html
Anecdotally, I've used both on and off since the 90's and think that Differin is comparable in effect to the lowest strength tretinoin. Weak evidence, I know, but thought that might be helpful to someone out there. I'd buy Differin or generic adapalene any day over a cosmetic retinol product for sun spots, fine lines and improving skin texture based on my experience with it.
Dr Dray, since it doesn't get absorbed much into the body system, do you think it is a safe product to try to remove light pigmentation on the chest near the cleavage of the boobs for mature women?
Hi Dr. I have dry sensitive clear skin but recently see milia. Do I use this on my whole face or only the milia? I love your show! ❤
@@jessicamessica999Milia is usually on the eyelids and applying differin might be too much. Maybe a retinol/retinal formulated for the eye areas would be better?
@@FleurPillagerhi there! I was just reading that differing gel 0.3 is comparable to 0.05 percent tretinoin
I have been using differin for almost 4 years now and it's been the only thing that has helped tremendously with my cystic acne. I'll never stop using it!
Only thing that worked for mine was a combo of retnoid and winlevi
Same.
wow. i was wondering if differin would help with cystic acne since it’s a more severe kind of acne… that’s really nice to hear. how long did it take to work for you? 😊
How is your skin when you go out in the sun. I love tanning at the beach and I’m scared of how bad it will react with the sun on my face for a couple hours.
Yeah… it even got rid of the brown post acne scar pigmentation on my nose.
Speech-language therapist here - loving your voice these days, Dr. Dray! A lot less vocal fry, which can be damaging to our vocal cords in the long run. Cheers and thank you for the informative video.
there seems to be an 'epidemic' of vocal fry amongst American women on the internet, and some men too. And here in Australia young women are doing it too including tv presenters. It's so annoying. Interesting to know that it's damaging long term.
As a mature woman with sensitive skin as I have lupus I have had no issues with using Differin. I love it. I have wasted more money on serums for age spots and this helps way more. Thank you
Could you list your skincare routine? Thanks
You and me both!
I just started using it and omg I can see the benefits already. I have aging skin and had really bad acne in my teens and 20s so I have a lot of scarring and big pores. I also have a lot of stubborn blackheads. But I notice my skin tone is more even and my face looks more smooth. I know enlarged pores are practically impossible to get rid of but I feel like this has blurred them a bit so they’re not so noticeable.
I’d love to see more research on the anti-aging effects of adapalene. I understand that it’s more selective in terms of the receptors it affects relative to tretinoin. A head-to-head comparison of anti-aging / photo aging treatment would be interesting to see.
I cover those studies here th-cam.com/video/Fr6E3Y3bjUA/w-d-xo.html
@@DrDrayzdayyou are the Best Dr. Dray ❤
@@DrDrayzdaythank you for the link.
there is only a tiny amount of research at this stage, but there will be more
Adapalene has transformed my skin. I’ve always had such clogged pores. I went to a dermatologist and the treatment didn’t help. I picked up the adapalene at target after struggling with acne since I was 12 and I’m 31 now. My pores are clearing out after about 3 months. Nothing has made my skin look this good
How did you start using it? Did you purge?
I just started using differin exactly 3 weeks ago as I was so afraid of purging and have acne on just my cheeks. I've suffered with hormonal acne for 10 years now and although it calmed down as I got older, I was still getting deep scarring that takes forever to heal. It is just my luck that after 2 weeks, I'm not really breaking out anymore. I know I can't really say I'm in the clear until the next 2ish months go by, but I'm super happy right now! I already see my hyperpigmentation fading each day along with consistent sunscreen use
Adapalene helped fade age spots on my forearms, it really does work. I love it! Happy Thursday🌷
Both adapalene and tretinoin are topical retinoids that are effective for treating acne and signs of aging. However, there are some key differences between the two medications.
Adapalene
Adapalene is a third-generation retinoid that is available over-the-counter (OTC) in the United States. It is less irritating than tretinoin and is a good option for people with sensitive skin. Adapalene is effective for treating mild to moderate acne, but it is not as effective as tretinoin for severe acne. Adapalene has also been shown to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but it is not as potent as tretinoin for anti-aging.
Tretinoin
Tretinoin is a first-generation retinoid that is available by prescription. It is the most potent retinoid available and is the gold standard for treating acne and signs of aging. Tretinoin is effective for treating all types of acne, including mild, moderate, and severe acne. It is also effective for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and hyperpigmentation. However, tretinoin can be irritating to the skin, especially when first starting out.
Overall, tretinoin is the more effective medication for acne and anti-aging. However, adapalene is a good option for people with sensitive skin or those who are new to retinoids.

Thank you
Thank you for sharing
Do you know if the CVS adapalene is just as good as the differin brand?
All of those are fine including the Walgreens, LRP and AcneFree ones.@@hcap08
@@hcap08it’s great! I used that after I ran out of differin
I used tretinoin in the past and my skin looked amazing... I fell off the routine for a while and decided to start back on adapeline due to it being easier to get hold of... 8 months on adapeline and my acne is all but gone and my skin has the same clean glow I had when I was on tretinoin.
Great information!
Such an awesome breakdown! 👏👏👏
I've been using Adaptalene for 7 days and my Rosacea is decreasing. I really like this product ❤
Thank you for another informative video!!
I just have to say how your Adapalene application video helped me to transform my skin. Your recommended routine was the only one that worked when starting this, i was really nervous bc of the potential skin purging but it didn’t last too long. Thank you so much Dr. Dray ❤
What’s the name of that vid cuh
Yep, can I just say, thanks to Dr. Drays instructions, I started 0,05 Tretinoin last year, eventually graduating to nightly, and has yet to experience ANY irritation let alone a purge. And my skin has allways been unbelievably fuzzy. So grateful for this Channel and all Andreas sensible and free advice. Thank you!!
Would you mind linking the video you're referring to? Thanks!
I’d love to know which video you mean as well please!
only found you about 6 months ago and i’ve been so into your content! thanks for the info doc
This really helped me understand Diffren. Thank you!
So incredibly helpful. Thanks so much.
Thank you for this great information!🥰
I was prescribed Differin when it first came out. It's very good and one of the better over the counter skincare bargains out there. It does help with my sunspots and skin texture too, similar to what Retin A does. I've used both.
Thank you too for this updated video about adapalene!
Just started a few days ago and I see a difference all ready! Thanks!
I am absolutely OBSESSED with Differin. I’ve been using it for decades. I can’t really tolerate tretinoin. I have rosacea, and tretinoin really tears my face up something terrible. However, Differin actually seems to calm my rosacea and gives me baby soft, smooth, even skin. Now into my 50’s…I have very few very fine lines. I attribute that to my decades of differin use. I used to get it from my derm with an rx. Now I just buy the OTC version. Love it!
Did you have bumps from your rosacea, or did the Differing help with overall redness? I’m interested in trying but not sure it would help since I don’t have the bumps like Dr Drey was talking about
Thanks for including Rosacea 😊
I am 79 and was a sun worshipper for many years. I have been working on the spots on my face, but don’t tolerate tret on my neck/chest. I actually have some differin left from starting my retinoid journey. Now I will try using it on my neck and chest! Why did I not think of this before?! Thank you! You are great! 😊
same here, tret on my neck made it very itchy
Thanks for the info.
I have rosacea and i can tolerate adapalene once a week. I use the sandwich method. It has definitely helped my rosacea!! My face is less red and i almost dont get anymore pustules or papules. During the rest of the week i rotate between soolantra, finacea and rosex. In the am i use spf as a moisturizer 😊
i recently found this product at my local target. have never heard of it. thanks for the information
This video is right on time because I’ve been contempling buying it for PIH for a while. I’m now convinced!!
Excellent, in-depth and crystal clear information. Much appreciate your efforts to educate us on skin care products, and skin conditions. Thank you, Dr. Dray!
as somebody who has been using differin for 4 years now, i tried switching to .025% tret and my skin reacted so badly. my skin loves differin and i think i will stick with it forever.
Great timing for this video for me! I just started using Differin. I’ve stayed away from it because I thought it would be too harsh or drying for me, compared to other retinoids. I guess my experience with other topical acne treatments has made me apprehensive. But I’ve been struggling more and more with acne, even though I was using retinal. I’ve only used Differin twice (introducing it slowly), but I haven’t had any adverse effects so far. This video has made me much more confident that I’ll be able to tolerate it and that it may be a great retinoid for me!
Thankyou so so much sharing this product review maam 😊
Good morning, Dr. Dray!
happy thursday
You look super pretty in this video, Dr. Dray! 😊
Thank you for the great video as usual. It is good to know that it can help remove sun spots on hands. I have a doosey on the back of my right hand and was thinking about laser treatment- very expensive. I have been thinking about trying it and for sure I will now. I will watch your video on the use of it for anti-aging vs tretinoin. I also noticed that Adapalene has a specific tube for scars.
I’ve been using it for 4 years…great stuff.
I love dermatology, I’m a first yeah med student wishing to eventually go into dermatology. Very informative channel❤
Thank you for this! I watched this and the one you mention at the end of the video.
I’m currently using Tretinoin but now I’m wondering if I could cycle between the two. I love the anti aging of tretinoin but the post inflammatory hyperpigmentation help you mentioned is something I could really use after hormonal breakouts. Is it possible to use both, alternating?
Great makeup & hair!
I have been using this for a couple of years and it works great
OMG, I need a vat of this! I’m older and have the keratosis (barnacles). Good to know this can help. Thank you
Good morning Dr Dray ❤
Morning!
I had to deal with hormonal acne and started my treatment with epiduo, I feel it not only dried out acne but also made my skin so smooth (?). I love it! I still use epiduo from time to time.
Happy Thursday Dr Dray so excited to be here I live for this ❤️
Morning!
Greetings David Shabas hope u r well n Happy Thursday😀👍💜….

Happy Thursday! I look forward to your videos, Still miss your mom.❤️
Happy Thursday, Dr. Dray ❤
Same to you!
I love it, am here for this ❤🥰 It’s significantly been helping my closed comedonal acne, wounded looking recovery of said condition on the skin & PIH. It’s definitely a process but I’ve been going everyday with it :) Am hoping to get a more eye specified retinol too, or eye cream.
I also apply it onto my natural born-with sebaceous filaments on the cheeks, I don’t expect anything by it but I use it anyway. :) Thank you for mentioning this Dr. Dray!
I've used Differin regularly for 5+ years. It has done wonders to my skin. Didn't get rid of acne completely but it is much more under control than before and spots are smaller and not huge bumps as I had before. The biggest improvement has been smoothness and brightness of the skin - it looks flawless now and so soft to touch. It took me long time to get used to it since I have sensitive skin but has been skin changing. Now I am trying isotretinoin topical - I'm finding it way gentler than Differin and was able to use it every day since beginning with no irritation. I've also got some tazarotene to try next.
I love it too and I buy it cheaper at CVS store brand and apply it morning and night
Happy Thursday Dr Dray …see you tomorrow x💙🤩
I've been putting a little tretinoin on the backs of my hands. It really lightened up the age spots and evened out the tone. It did take a while to turn the situation around, but it did bring results.
Thank you for the info. I will definitely make the switch to Differin. You look great by the way.
You are so welcome!
I love differin I used it for acne but seem to have developed just white heads and bumps on my nose and redness. Rocscea meds did not work so tried this (old tube from doctor when I had acne) and this helps a lot. Thank you this explains why so I will ask the doctor to prescribe me more.
Please give an update on best ingredients and product for menopause?
Thank you for this video! I use this product about every other day or two only because I notice my face to get dry if I use to consistently.
Thank you Dr. Dray on your informative insights on adapoline. Love watching your videos! Have a great day!
thanks for watching
@DrDrayzday Dr Dray is Defferine safe for wrinkles?
I use the Differin cream not the gel but I find it much slower in clearing my clogged pores idk if my routine is the issue or the cream thank you for the video 😊
this is great news thank you
Adapalene has been a fantastic treatment for my skin over the last year. I upgraded from retinol to adapalene last year and it's made my skin look amazing. So my teenage son and I are both using it for different reasons - and we are both getting great results. I don't see myself moving to Tretinoin.
Im moving to it since i struggle acne brekaouts on my back and from there sometimes on my skin. It is mild acne but now since im 27... i ve done dermpaen 4 weeks ago and still have bumpy or sometimes red pinplws under my skin. I use everyday saliyc qcid cleanser from la eoche and effeclar tonic. I also use vichy volcano scrub 2 times in weekon my t zones and nvichy 3 in 1 cleansee on my skin 2times in week. I m quitting rerinol from ordinary and only use multi peptide because i wanna see why o get still closed comedones/mild acne if i double cleanse 2 times (only if i have make upon). Seasonal change plays factor for me... im recievinf adapelen next week but will wait and see how my skin react
I'vee been using Differin for almost 2 weeks. Its been pretty gentle for me. I do get some dryness/chapped around the edges of my mouth even though im careful not to get close to my lips when applying. But a little lip balm takes care of that and then the next day its fine. Also ocassionally some slight stingng in my eyes even though I'm also very careful not to get too close to my eyes. But its really not that bad. And the rest of my skin handles it just fine even with every day use at night. And seems to be improving my overall skin appearance already, although thats very subjective at this point. Definitely going to stick with it and looking forward to see how it does over the coming months.
I didn't experience any issues with Differen when I began using the product. Unfortunately, I experienced perioral dermatitis 3 weeks after starting adapalene. I was also layering products. I really went down the anti aging and acne treatment rabbit hole. There are so many products to try and I wanted amazing results fast. The itching, stinging red bumps around my mouth and chin were so painful. It had also begun to spread outward on my cheeks. Thank goodness I found a treatment to clear it up quickly. Going forward I'll be removing products from my skincare regimen and reintroducing adapalene.
Differin is great! I have been using it for over a year now, and my skin looks amazing! I admit it was very drying at the very beginning, especially around my lips (use vaseline to protect), but it didn't last longer than a month. Absolutely worth it!
Thank you, Dr Dray :)
I have been using Differin since June this year and am now starting to see some good results. I use it every other day with a recovery day in between where I use a lot of moisturiser. I have for his works best for me.
This stuff is great, and I don’t have acne. But my skin looks great!
I started using it right after it became over the counter. I used to use a ton of products and I was still getting hormonal acne in my mid 30s. 5ish years on differin and I use a mild DHC bar soap to cleanse and cerave moisturizer. Skin looks amazing. I'm 40 now and people think I'm still in my 20s. Saving so much money, time and heartbreak. Obsessed with the product and thank you Dr Dray for your video getting me through the beginning when I was dried out and peeling like a lizard. I eventually adapted and it was worth it.
Would that help me in my late 40's? I started using and wasn't see anything difference but I introduced my teenager to it and her skin is gorgeous.
Differin Cleanser and Gel made a HUGE change in my acne. It took a while to get to this point but is the first time since teenager that I don't feel insecure about pimples in my face. 😭
Hey Dr. Dray, I'd be super curious to hear your take on including Differin with the Rhode products? I feel like they would compliment each other as the Rhode products would restore the skin barrier again? I'm on the fence if I should order them or just stick with my CeraVe moisturizer routine + Differin. Thank you so much.
Please do a video on mature skin products that exclude hyaluronic acid.
So many anti aging products have it in them and for those of us who can't tolerate it , have a hard time finding products. 👍
Please and Thank you
Dear Dr Dray,
would Differin also help with hypopigmentation? Like to get rid of persising white spots after treating a tinea versicolor? Thank you so much for these valuable informations.
Waiting for this video❤️❤️❤️
Love me some Differin gel!
versatile
hi dr. dray! i would really love to hear your take on acne: hard water vs distilled/soft water. thanks for all your helpful content ❤ edit: also skin and water ph levels in general!
She has a video on hard water
Thanks for the info Dr Dray.
I’m going to look into differin gel. My rosacea is so much better now that I have a solid skincare routine. Retinoids have been a main component.
My skin looks so much better than it did 10 years ago. Pretty amazing, really.
Can you share what you use or what your routine has been to use retinoids with rosacea? I just get flushing and overall redness and have been wanting to incorporate, just a little hesitant. Thanks!
@@ttogytsirhc I use cerave retinol serum at night.
I hope that you find something that works for you! Rosacea is such a pain ☹️
Another thing that works for me is green or rhassoul clay. I make a mask, but I don’t let the mask dry on my face. I put it on in the shower, so it doesn’t dry.
I will be trying this for my rosacea. Thank you.
Did you use adapelene?
I use adapalene for KP right above my knees. It works much better than tend skin, kp eraser, etc.
Thankfully I never had acne but I do have dark spots from the sun…hope this will work for that. Thanks
Thank you ❤
I’ve always used Tretinoin with no issue, but I switched to Differin/Adapalene due to cost concerns. Unfortunately I’ve found out that I’m allergic to it! My face gets dermatitis and I get lots of facial swelling.
Thank you Dr. Dray for another gray informative video! We appreciate you helping always 😊
How do you feel about bone broth and if it indeed benefits our hair skin and nails with all its added collagen
bone broth has very little collagen, despite the hype pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29893587/
@Drdrayzday can Differin Adapalene used at the same time with CorsX Snail Mucin? Should it be separted as one in the morning and the other one in evening?
I’ve been using differin for a few years, it helped so much with my acne and texture. Now however, I’ve been struggling with extreme dryness. So I’ve cut back on using differin, because I’ve heard that you shouldn’t use very occlusive moisturizers with it at night, which right now is the only thing helping me with the dryness. How often should I use differin to get the benefits? How can I use it while still keeping my skin moisturized?
Just bought a fresh tube yesterday!!
Thanks!
Thank you 💙
Just a Quick question, what is best, differin or tretinoin for sebum reduction? I don't have acne, just lots of sebum on my face. Thanks
I’ve been using for 2 months 2x a week. My skin has been great. Now I just need to deal with hyperpigmentation which has also been reduced significantly
I started using Differin in August to help fight random breakouts and hyperpigmentation, and I'm starting to see great results. My skin tone is more even, and if I see any pimples pop up, they're gone by the next day. I get dryness around the mouth if I get too close with the gel, but I always sleep with an occlusive on and around my lips and use a good moisturizer all over my face after the get has set.
Same! I was happily suprised at how it seems to even my skin tone even outside of just clearing the acne.
I love adapelene, that and benzoyl peroxide have kept my acne in check for 2 years. Even when I go a month without using it. I had acne my whole life until I started adapelene.
Thank you Dr Dray what's good for what's what's good for the Elbow!?
Depends on what you're looking for (lightening, smoothing)?
I've had a breakout after 2 years of no acne, just decided to use differing and the marks healed super fast
Thank you Dr. Dray. May I ask please, if I can use cerave acne gel in the morning, and adapalene at night, using both with cerave moisturising lotion with niacenamide for daily use? Please, reply..🥺 Thanks in advance..
I started using adapalene about four years or more ago after a video you made at that time. I think it is helpful. Earlier this month speaking with a group of lady friends one wished me happy birthday, I said thanks but 63 isn't a special milestone and I wasn't celebrating. Several gasped, saying they thought I was mid fifties. I have to admit I did lapse a bit in my care except cleansing and sunscreen this year, some hyperpigmentation from sun damage decades ago on my very fair skin had returned. I have promised my self to do better and returned to adapalene, trentinoin is not in my budget.
Tretinoin is like $5 from India.
What would be the best treatment for teens with acne? Would this be a good one?
I have rosacea & eczema & I tolerate Differin gel pretty well. I found that using it allowed me to use less of my Rx rosacea cream & really helped combat milia & white heads that I can get from using makeup/skincare that contains silicones. I try not to use too many actives on my skin since it causes irritation & keep my skincare routine very gentle & basic. Differin can be drying so I'd advise a good moisturizer & experimenting with applying the Differin *after" moisturizer if your skin is very dry/sensitive.
How is it with your eczema?
Whatever your 1st video on it is when I got it ❤ it
Will adpalene help with milia around the face?
PLEASE DO A UPDATED VIDEO ON TAZAROTENE/Arazlo !!!!!!!
Please, please, please!
It’s pros, cons, and what it helps! I love it on my dark skin. I wish more people knew/heard about it. 😊😊😊
Thank you
Can you use Differing and retonal at same time. Thanks
Wish I had used adapalene when I was in high school, my acne was at its worst point then and it definitely would’ve helped. At least I have it now, so no more breakouts during my period!
